Seriously, with all these CZcamsrs running New York Marathon, Ben must by far be the best of them. 2:43 is by any standards a extremely good time. 227 place out of 50.000+. Mindblowing.
While filming!
nope, there's a fair amount of 220 time.
2.43 is a great time
While filming and narrating. Close to zone 2 running since he is almost talking in full sentences.
Brilliant stuff! What I like about running is that even we're not in the same galaxy ability wise, I can still relate to everything you're going through. :)
No kidding! I ran a 28 minute 5k today and felt like a rockstar 😂. The worst thing we can do is compare ourselves to others, especially guys like Ben that are so fast.
@@50Something true! I barely scraped together my one and only marathon, and I still know what it's like to hit the wall or to lose almost a year of progress because of an illness. Some things are just universal. 😂
It doesn't get easier, you just get faster.
Congratulations on your orange Cape of Awesomeness! So so happy for you. The roads love you and so do we!🎉❤
@@laurainthehaute918 The point of our race is to run the fabulous race, NOT to get the orange poncho.
Such an inspiring video! I was there too and LOVED every minute of it. I did it in 3:58, but will keep working hard to improve as you did through the last 15 years ❤️
Well done Julie! Great to hear you loved it too 🙌
Imagine being able to run a 38 min 10k whilst chatting in to a GoPro. Damn dude you can run!!
Running a very good time & still giving a commentary, I don't know how you do it mate! Looks like it was an amazing experience, so thankyou for taking those of us that can only dream of making it to NY along for the ride ❤
it's all relative to his own potential. it's 20 mins of his pb so what do you expect? if you ran 20 mins slower than youre pace you'd be able to do the same. seems more worried about videos than reaching potential atm. lame.
Amazing achievement! The fact that you ran that course in 4h 11m when you were 15 years younger is a testament to your dedication to fulfilling your dreams through hard work and persistence. Kudos to you Ben, you are an inspiration!
Ben is so entertaining that I sometimes forget he's fast as F. 2:45 training run.... Valencia is going to be a good one.
@BenParkes Great run and great video!🙌 Are you aiming to beat your 2:25 PB in Valencia?
so nice to meet u ben! new PR of 3:59 for me! was hoping for a little faster, but im still happy with the result. cramps hit me for the last 10 miles
Nice to meet you Steven! Congratulations on your new PR! 🙌
Love how you are using World Majors Marathons as training runs!! 🎉 Congrats on another great video and marathon!!! Can't wait to see what you do in Valencia 👏👏👊👊
People say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. They’re really just talking about the hills 😂 great run!!
Thank you Stephanie! 🙌
It is actually an old show-business quote, not a running quote about making it in New York.
Great time Ben !
Tough course ! Followed your plan for a 3.45 and got a PB of 3.46 - very happy !
Get a refund, 😉 congratulations , a tough course for a pb, 👏
Well done!! Superb running on that course!
Any runner who can run a marathon in under 3 hours has earned my respect!
Very true. Most sub 3 start with the same potential as those who scrape a sub 4; they just work smarter and harder. That's not knocking 4 hour runners, as that is where I'm at and I know what it takes to get to 4 hours.
I was volunteering at the mile 23 water station. Saw you go by, cheered, and ended up dropping the cup I was holding 😅 That 5th avenue incline is TOUGH!
Thank you for volunteering 🙌 yes, I think that’s the hardest part of the course!!
Thanks for bringing back the memories, my one and only NYC marathon in 2013, a decade has passed.
Amazing to be able to re-live the race through your video Ben. This was my first ever marathon and as a long time NYC resident it was an absolute dream come true. I was so unsure of how I would do with the course and started off super conservative for the first 6 miles. This led to a nice negative split however and a finish time of 3.19. Am absolutely thrilled with how it went and I owe a lot of it to people like you who put out excellent content on how to train properly as well as motivate people to run and shoot for their goals. I can't wait to get back to regular training and improve more over the coming year. Hope to do another marathon next year. Awesome result Ben and glad you really enjoyed yourself out there as always!
Congratulations on your first marathon and awesome time!!
Great job Ben! You're amazing! Yes I did do the NY marathon and I was looking for you... Disappointed I didn't see you but had a great time running the NY marathon. It was very difficult in my opinion but nevertheless it was a ton of fun and now very surreal.
Thanks for sharing your journey 😊
What an amazing race! You are correct, that was TOUGH, those bridges and the "climb" into Central Park were no joke! My first NYC and 18th overall and easily one of my favorites. Thanks for the great video, it was fun to watch and think back to that day. The death march to the exit was kinda cruel though, I have never had to walk so far to leave a race after finishing haha.
Yes, it took a long time to get out.. but still a lovely day overall. Well done!! 🙌
Well done Ben,I agree those hills go on forever I can’t believe I finished fourth Brit after breaking my fibula at the Boston marathon last year as you said never give up on your dreams great blog mate keep it up cp🏃🏻♂️🏴🇬🇧
Well done Craig!! What a fantastic come back 🙌🙌
Another great video and even greater achievement.
Well-done :)

I started running 4 months ago and will be having my first 15k race in December. Can't wait to further build up and eventually run a marathon :)
Good luck in December!! 🙌
Beautiful work my friend 🎉
Love seeing you so satisfied Ben. You give so much to this community, superb to see you succeeding… more inspiration for us all.
Sarah, the Run Step Get High music was a brilliant touch 🙌🏻. And of course, well done to you too, Ben-you're looking so much happier.
I edited this one.. usually do the race videos myself and Sarah does everything else 😊.. glad you liked it and the run steep music!!
Well in that case, well done on both counts!
Fantastic time - congrats!
What a great performance, Ben! You appear to be in a much better place these days and we’re happy to see that! My partner and I both ran Chicago and New York as well this year (still needing to get a BQ qualifying time though). Good luck in Valencia!
Well done Ben. The road is definitely your happy place. 🥇⭐
So inspiring and extremely proud of you Ben!
Wow!! With your smile and commentary on, I am amazed at how you make running look so effortless!
🤗Congratulations and God Bless🤗 Best wishes for Valencia👍
Great time Ben. Very well done! 👏
Great video again Ben, well done on an amazing time. I ran too in my 1st NY marathon, super tough but got an 11 minute PB, very happy
I lucky to run it this year myself too (even making a brief appearance in your video :). What a race, wow. It's an amazing experience, let alone if you also manage a cracking run like you did. Well done Ben. Also, well done to Sarah for working in the Run Steep Get High theme music - I rewatched that Jamil's video ahead of this year's race.
Enjoyed the video and seeing the New York spirit! I loved the race and would do it all again!
Great video. Good to see you enjoying yourself.
Am really looking fwd to seeing you smash Valencia. Good luck!!!
I was there! My 3rd straight year running it (been running for a little over 3 years) It is my favorite weekend of the year. Cheers Ben, great run!
So so impressive! Thank you for the inspiration. Go get Valencia! 👊🏽
Fantastic stuff Ben!
you are such an inspiration
