In todays vlog, Meg and I travel down to the lovely Kent Coastline to run the Folkestone coastal 10km race along the sunny promenade. Finally breaking the 33min goal and meeting running youtube royalty Ben Parkes, this has to be one of my favourite race day vlogs to date!

Nice to meet you Ben.. congratulations on the PB!
And likewise to you! Hopefully we can race again in the future :) all the best to you and Sarah on your 4 year anniversary I see 🎉🏃🏽♂️🏃♀️
@@BenIsRunning WIll you be back this year for another PB try? I'll be away for Edinburgh Marathon that weekend and I'll be sorry to miss the 10k. It should be another glorious one in Folkie.
Great run Ben, I shouted go Ben when you passed me on your way back and you waved, then Ben Parkes ran past so I said it again! Very surreal moment. Good job on winning the battle of the Ben's! It sure was windy after the turnaround. I came in at 52:49 which was a 4min PB
You gave me a good post on the return leg going into that strong headwind so thank you! Congratulations on your time, I’m sure you could go even faster if you wasn’t so distracted with your cheering! I could barely say thank you back 😂 all the best with your training 🙌🏻🏃🏽♂️
Great running Ben, really enjoy the videos!
Thanks adam!
Great race Ben. I’ve just recently discovered your channel, and funnily enough I’ve just moved into Witham down the road from you in December. Keep up the good work!
That’s about the same time we moved too 😂 appreciate the feed back!
Awesome run! Cant wait to see results for your next 10k.👍
Amazing Ben well done on your new PB.💪👍
Thank you Andy :)
Good to meet you after the race. Great running.
Had a lot of fun coming to this one! Such a lovely day!
Thanks for helping make such a great vlog!!!!
Awesome run! Looks like a great spot for it. Loving the videos
Thanks buddy! Yeah lovely down there, wish we’d made a weekend of it :)
Such a lovely medal. Great run !
Ben & Ben... well done guys
Cheers mate 🙌🏻
Cool race video ✌️ Congrats on an excellent race and PB
Thanks buddy! Appreciate your feedback
Quality run mate, that’s a brilliant time 👏
Thanks Andy! Was very happy with that and hopefully a little more to come 🤞🏻
Great video! Proud mum you smashed it! 👍👍
Thanks Mum! The medal was silver so you'll be pleased :)
Congrats, very inspiring 🙏🏽
Thanks buddy, much appreciated!
Great job Ben!
Thanks Alex 🙌🏻
New to channel well done! Am going to watch ur past running vlogs later Looking forward to more 🏃♀️👌
The quack of a duck at 7:53 was perfect timing for censoring!
Congrats on new PB..New subscriber ... Motivational content 👌💪🏼
A massive well done on that time Ben, head wind on the way back and that head cold earlier in week prob took a bit if time off.. keep up the training 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️☕️
Cheers dad! Not quite as fast as when you pulled me along on the bike but feeling at that level of fitness again which is a good sign. Plenty more races to come.
Stumbled upon you’re channel as I’m new to running (only been at it for one month now) and love the videos! But damn that’s an awesome time man! One day I hope to get close to that 😂 I’m going for my first 10km this Friday, just looking to get under an hour as my 5km pace is about 27 minutes.
Thanks buddy! All the best with your training and if you stick at it you’ll see some big improvement pretty quick at the start! All the best :)
Congrats on your race- AMAZING TIME given the conditions!
Thanks mate! Was really chuffed with that :)
@@BenIsRunning This race vlog could have been called, "It's all about the BENjamins". Can't wait for your next race vlog
Respect!
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Well done 👍 thats superb
Good job Ben!
Thanks buddy
Haha Meg is the best! I’d grab a few of the shampoos as well 🤣🤣 👏🏼 great run !
An interesting video about running. Great job. 👍🏻😊
Nice job Ben! Burning that road up! 🏃🏼♂️🔥🔥🔥
😂😂cheers buddy! It certainly was burning hot by the end 🔥
@@BenIsRunning I have been there 😄
Just googled the results. I see you took down Cole as well as Ben! Well done on the continued progression from these days!
That's a cracking performance, especially with a cold. Well done!
Thanks buddy! Think I was over the worst off it but that’s at least another 5mins I could knock off right 😂🤣
@@BenIsRunning definitely! 😂
Great video Ben, enjoyed it👍
Regarding your Achilles issue. I had Achilles issues when I used to wear NB. Now only stick to Nike and had no further issues.
Interesting that. My Achilles issues came from slipping up the stairs in my parents house 😂 not as step as the ones in ours 🤣
Hi Ben, nice video! I could only dream of sub 33min 10k....! You are a great runner, very inspiring!
Very kind, thank you!
Great time!
Thank you
Nice!
Great video, lovin the Lord Mayors 5k mug! Have you done any other races in Norwich? Run Norwich 10k is great, although not on this year. Congrats on the pb!
Great run 🏃♂️💨 loved the vlog, great to see and hear how you feel before and after a race. My goal 10K is 36 mins, a bit away yet but will keep on plugging away and I'll get there.
Thanks buddy! You’ll get it I’m sure if you keep training hard! Best of luck
Great video! 👍
Thanks dannyboy 👌
Good 10 k 👍🏼
Thanks buddy
New PB and a Dom Dennis shout out! Gonna struggle to top this vid mate xx
Just for you! Man that was some sexy coffee
Yeah it looked like a beaut! 😍
Just started following you, love the content. Just noticed you have a maldon and tiptree shirt in the background, did you used to play for them?
I wish I had more time to find out where the wind was. Instead of getting there with about 1 second to go 😂 nice video mate, let me know if you are doing anymore in the area we can do a vlog within a vlog haha. Can just see me right at the back on the way out 😂
Yeah I did spot you when I was editing! You weren’t kidding when you said you got there was a second to spare were ya 😂😂 if you’ve got any race suggestions I’m always down for a little road trip down south
@@BenIsRunning no definitely not kidding at all 😂 there’s the Saxon share half on the 13th that I’m doing that might be of interest. That’s down in herne bay
@@Runningmansam i racing a 5km in St Albans that day but sure will look at coming back next year for the same event as loved it! Will make a long weekend of it next time
Hey Ben congratulations for the run , i really like to watch your videos hope to see the next one soon. I would like to ask you if you run with a coach/team !? or you do the training by your on. 😘❤️
Thank you! I do the majority alone but train with an athletics club twice a week :)
Rapid mate.. very well done 👊🏻
Thanks Matt 👊🏻
Awesome time Ben! But you can't estimate your time without the wind like you did because you had the benefit of the wind with you on the way out. So 33min is probably a more accurate result without wind altogether than your estimated 32.30 👍🏻 keep up the great running.
Thanks Matthew! The first 5k was in 16mins and the second in 16:55 so yes your probably right. I did run 33 mins though with the wind ;) 32:56 was the official time in the end, happy with that nevertheless
I hope you and Megan enjoyed the coffee from my local lift cafe haha. Good running mate
That coffee was in another level. Wasn’t sure if it was the run that made it taste great or if it was the pony tailed hipster barista 😂 10/10
@@BenIsRunning 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good work Ben. I'm way behind for that speed but trying to get closer to 40min and slow improving
Nice one!! Stick at it and train hard and I’m sure you’ll get there!!!
@@BenIsRunning cheers! I hope so too. Feeling legs a bit speedier after incorporating speed workouts and hills. Enjoying the process and having fun with no race goal in mind
Great time. I'm based in Folkestone and missed last years 10k but will be running this years. How about you Ben?
Impressive. I decided after watching some of your videos I want to compete some day. I can't actually run 5k as of yet continuously lol :))
Keep tying the laces on those running shoes and you’ll get there in no time 🙌🏻
Great video as always, and congrats on the PB. How did you get rid of the achilles sprain? I took 2 days off running, but it's still lingering.
Cheers buddy! Thankful mine was just a twinge from an old injury. I took 5 days off and it cleared up. Since the original injury I've implemented more calf/single leg strength work as more of a preventative :)
@@BenIsRunning I’ll implement some strength work. Thank you.
33min
Madness
🤪
It's pretty basic
Hi Ben, following your journey from France, I was wondering at that level of competition (sub 33) what was your mileage I'm a 36min runner on 10k, running around 75-80km per week. Thank you !!
Hi Ben, Great run. What shoes did you use?
Thank you. I used the Vaporfly next 1, prefer them over the 2 and alphafly :)
Hi Ben. Do you prefer the Next% over the Next%2? Or do you simply have too many pairs of shoes which need to be worn? 😂
What watch do you use Ben ???
I use the garmin forerunner 735xt :)
Jesus, another Ben to deal with
Sorry bro aha!
I can do 38:57 but I have no idea how anyone can get near 30min you must be absolutely flying
Thats a great time! i struggled to break 40 mins a few years ago but months of consistency and the speed endurance just builds up :)
The guy in the thumb nail looks just like Chris Hemsworth.
True that! Its running youtuber ben parkes aha!
@@BenIsRunning I'll check him out. Thanks for the reply.
Ben you're awesome, but please consider getting rid of this horrible moustache.
the tash stays, sorry!! LOL
@@BenIsRunning That's ok. It was just a suggestion. You'd look even better without.
The tash is a lewkk don’t get rid of it 😂
why are you moaning about the wind coming back..... when it carried you on the way out..... no excuses ben.....
