    Ben - smashed your running and YT goals. I didn't realize you completed that many races, and the back-to-back 50M and 100K is crazy. All the best for 2024!

    Hey Ben, just caught your 2023 Running Review - totally inspiring! 🌟 Smashing 4,900 km and your subscriber goal? Absolute legend! ✨Loved hearing about your epic races, especially that sub-24-hour North Downs Way 100. And those backyard runs with Zachary are just the coolest! Can't wait to see you crush those 2024 goals. Keep rocking those trails and sharing your journey!

    1309 subs well deserved, Ben. I love your channel. Well do E on an epic year of 4,900ish km is brilliant. Your consistency has paid off with the results in the races and the races completed.
    Looking forward to following along in 2024.
    I'm sure you'll hit the 2024 subs goal. That 5,000km goal will be a challenge but I'm sure you'll get it.

    Well done on all your achievements in 2023 Ben and congratulations on reaching 1.33k subscribers. This is no surprise as you have an awesome channel which will no doubt continue to grow. Looking forward to lots of videos of your races in 2024, especially South Downs 100 which is in my neck of the woods,.Good luck and happy running in 2024,

    I always knew that last years 3.5k was going to be obliterated :D Well done on a successful 2023 Ben, and sounds like a fun 2024 ahead for you, I like your goals for the year. Also none of them are time based, unless you do have some hidden time based goals :D.
    Have you ever thought about doing a time based ultra, so 12 or 24hrs run as far as you can in that period of time.

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Thank you for all your support and friendship Marc I really appreciate it mate 😊👍 I will set myself a few time targets nearer to the races depending on what shape I feel I am in. Not sure if I will share those because it tends to add extra pressure but I am sure I can go sub 24 over 100 miles again. I would love.to have a crack at a 24 hour race if I found the right format. They tend to be track based which is pretty bland. Maybe a backyard ultra will be the way forward. 😎🤘

    Just caught up on your review video Ben. What a fantastic year!! Great to hear how positive it went for you and some mega achievements. I can understand your 100 being the highlight, sub 24 on your first go was superb. I’ve been looking at the centurion events and watching plenty of videos from the various events they run and have entered one of theirs for Autumn (you can probably guess which one 😁) I did wonder if you might be running that one when you said you were entering another one. Good luck with all your goals this year Ben, I’m sure it’ll be another great year!

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 6 měsíci +1

    You can't beat a yearly review full of good news and personal records ❤💪 Brilliant stuff, Ben. So pleased for you mate. 2024 should be another beauty. I liked how you were just guessing what dates the races were towards the end there lol. Does your race calendar come with a free pot of Tippex? 😂 All the best for the new year mate 👍🏻🏃‍♂️🙂

    You've had a smashing 2023 Ben, really enjoyed following your progress and getting inspired by it. Congrats on all you've achieved 🎉 If you end up doing the SDW100 I may well see you there as I'm pacing a friend for the last third 😀 Of course I'm slightly biased but it's such a good race and like you say a lot more runnable and less fiddly than the North Downs! Look forward to tuning in for 2024 👍

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks Ben that's very kind mate. All in all we had a pretty similar year....except I didn't run nearly as fast as you did 🤣 I hope I can give the SDW a go. Your video really lit the fire mate. If I can get in it will be great to see you out there. Thanks very much for all the support dude! 😎🤘

    An awesome year for you Ben. Getting in all of those miles and especially spending all the time with your son. I'll have to go back and catch up on you videos. I'd been off the running circuit for a while due to some back pain. I've running some but not doing the bigger races like I had had been. Anyways, good luck this year. I can't wait to see you smash those goes this year.

    @BradleySingerRuns Před 7 měsíci +1

    ben, what you managed to achieve in 2023 having over 1k subs and running 4971 kms a year which is over 3000 miles is madness. your other stats are crazy. you should be very proud of yourself. the sub goal of having other 400 is 100% achievable. 5000kms your going to smash this without any issues (as you said if you stay injury free) that goes with the elevation. the south downs way if an away fixture for you. good luck with this. im sure your are going to have the best time. would you consider another road marathon race?

    Good year indeed and was amused you did both your first 100 miler and 10K in quick succession. Would like to see what you could on a road race. Must be plenty of last year's shoes available people with certain discounts. Checking back I got to 2K subs from where you are in about 6 months so hopefully you can do similar. Of course if you review 100 shoes a year you might get there quicker but that's not really a route (even on canal towpaths) that sounds overly fun nor relatable so stick to what you enjoy I say and people will come and watch. Hope to catch up for a run before long.

      Haha so was I Tim. I couldn't have planned that any better really. 🤣 I might have to have a crack at a road race in 2024 that could be a good experiment mate. If you have any suggestions for good ones let me know. Thanks for all your support mate I really appreciate it! 😎🤘
