    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!

    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

    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.

    • @BenIsRunning

      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
