What is your worse weather to run in?? Wind, rain, snow, heat??? For me it has to be WIND!!
Ben Parkes my worst was in the snow pretty much a blizzard, that was fun 😂😂
for me heat
Has to be the heat, it saps you and you have to pay even more attention to your race strategy (fluids/nutrition)
Has to be the wind! Mainly because it's not great for my breathing/asthma either 🤪
Definitely heat
Wins a half while vlogging, those guys working hard behind you must have been well pissed 😂
They might retire themselves after this.
It looks like a small race so most of those running are likely just hobbyist like most of us. :D
I whould still be pissed if he passed me while beeing totally relaxed and talking to a cam😄
He was getting funny looks from the guys behind him at the beginning lol
@@madshoex4166 Hahaha I know right? "Heheh Why would you vlog during a race, amateur... oh, he won..." xD
Imagine being the guy in 2nd or 3rd place and seeing this dude whip out a camera and just start talking like its a casual morning jog
He didn't do it during the race.
Hehe
@@princegahlawat6903 4:13
This kind of comment it on every Ben parkes video when he is in a race or event. 😴🥱
Lol imagine pouring your heart into a race, dying from fatigue and then just seeing first place going *"YO! Wuts gud guys, winning this half marathon right now, you know, the usual"*
My money is on you passing 42,195 subs before Berlin. Could be a good celebration!
Why such a exact number?
Wee Phan 1 marathon = 42,195 meters 😊
Thank you so much, Ben! I’m starting training for sub 3h marathon in Chester this autumn.
You are the best!
Well done Ben! I find your videos very inspirational - and strangely happy-inducing :)
Totally agree re Happy Inducing. Ben’s Happy, upbeat personality is very uplifting. 👍
I had to like before even watching. Thanks for the video, Ben. Greetings from South Africa.
Great stuff! Congrats Ben! Best wishes
Right on Ben!! Great work! Keep it up! your a huge inspiration!!!
Haven't even started the video but subbed as soon as I saw you won while vlogging 😂 looking forward to more quality content
Congratulations Ben. I'm your fan number #1
Thanks for all the tips
I learnt alot watching your videos.
I improved my personal best in 10k and 21k since I follow your tips
Greetings from México
Congratulations Ben! Nice vid for 21k followers :)
Humid heat is the worst! Poor times usually occur with wind as well. At least I can draft behind/to the side of someone with the wind.
Humid, dead heat with lots of bugs going in my ears and occasionally mouth is really an unpleasant feeling
Nice work! Glad this vlog came up in my recommendations, as I'm training for a marathon as a complete beginner and could use both the motivation and tips. I'm vlogging the whole process, which has been a great way to document the process. Can't wait to document a race like this!
Congratulations on the win!
Congrats ben...👌 Love from philippines..🇵🇭
I enjoy watching your videos to get better at cross country and track
awesome content Ben, I love your vibe! You and Sarah are the best motivational vloggers!
I hate running in wind aswell.
Congrats on the race and hitting 21k well done 👍
Thanks for all comments shared!!!You are the best !!!Besides wind-heat is the worst, especially in countries like mine-Greece.But we manage -running in the evenings is a relief.I'm preparing for the Frankfurt marathon at the end of October.
Well done mate, been watching your channel the last few weeks, totally helping me trying to sort out my running form, training, etc so thanks!
I have been doing adventure races, half marathons and did the Brighton marathon last year with 5 weeks of training stupidly lol but now trying to put some effort in on how to actually run and build that skill set! So cheers for all your content your putting out there!
Best
Jamie
Awesome Jamie, that's great to hear the channel has been helping you! It's certainly how I started my running journey, scouring youtube looking for tips. All the best for your next race!
Random fact, Ernie Wise's big house is just over the back of that lake.
Ben is responsible for my new shopping list. Though I'm not a vegan in any shape or form, never had so many vegetables and fruits in my fridge and cupboards! Enjoy both the running and food vids! Channel will quickly grow and rightly so.
Thank you for your kind words! I always say that everyone could do with some more fruit and veg in their diet, meat eaters or not. Some vegans I know are pretty unhealthy most of the time. You can be healthy and unhealthy with any diet really. Hopefully you see some improvements in your running as well, thanks for the support!
Well done Ben, that's amazing
Great video as always and well done on the win Ben🏅👍
Wow brilliant Ben an incredible result! What a way to celebrate your subscriber milestone!
Thanks for another awesome video, I'm from Hawaii and to me running in our hot / humid weather is probably the worst it could be !
Congrats! Great seeing your videos, just got sidelined from any activity after some unexpected surgeries so watching this video has been great! Makes me anxious to get back to it!
All the best for your return to running!
Congrats Ben! Onto the next 21.1k subs 👏🏃♂️
He would have to run the whole marathon then
Love your videos Ben. Congrats!
Well done Ben. Hope to see you both in Cham. We will be making our way around the 23k ( slowly. Our target to beat the cut offs ) but... Doing It! 👍 should be somewhere on Marathon route shouting out for you 👏
What are the odds that I just saw this comment on that video and then my recommended sent me here to see your comment
You're the kind of content creator i've been waiting for on CZcams for years! The kind of weather conditions I hate are when there's very little oxigen in the air and the humidity hits you in the face the minute you start running! Congrats on your win btw!
Thank you. Great that you're following along. All the best for your running!
Congrats on the subs Ben.
I'm enjoying your videos. I'm seeing comparisons with the changes I've made. Only been seriously running this year and aiming for my first marathon later in the year. Definitely not 2.20.
Just went under 19 mins for a 5k as my latest PB.
Keep up the good work.
And I hate wind the most as well.
Well done Ben😊 this UK summer Pants so far 😂 hopefully it will improve😭
Congrats Ben both winning and subs 👍👍
Always enjoy catching your training and racing videos on CZcams, the idea to race a sub 3 hour marathon while live streaming is awesome!, last weekend I might have experienced the worst weather for a half marathon in Christchurch NZ, it was freezing cold & raining hard causing some flooding on the course but still great fun.
Ben. Love your positive videos and your support for the other runners. I am doing Dorsey lake marathon next week so this helps
Congratulations Ben. Incredible. Great to see you improving
Thank you Amit! How is your running going at the moment?
@@BenParkesdoing quite good at the moment Ben. Track season is in full flow. Currently training for 400, 800 and 1500 races. Got my Parkrun time down to 17.30 so that's always good
Amazing run, Ben! Your channel is absolutely brilliant, amazing content always. A live stream 26.2 would be great!! Touch wood, I've always had great weather on my races! Windy runs are terrible but you won! Congratulations! Your 2:20 target marathon is going to be insane if you can do that!! All the best in training!
great video mate = love it, love it, love it !
Wow..thats a great time @1.13. Congrat Ben!
In before this guy blows up! Looks like a great vlogger, really honest, likeable and good at what he does. Gotta say though I'm feeling inspired to run and will 100% avoid any events you attend for the pure joke of you blowing past me vlogging whilst I'm almost dying. :D keep up the good work!
Cheers Robb! All the best for your running and thank you for the kind words!
YES!!!!!!! This video is amazing!!! Bring on 42.195k subs!!!
Way to go Ben! You're an inspiration to aspiring runners like me
Aw, thank you Cottar!
Congratulations
Great job
All your hard work paid off. 👍
Good job Ben!!! Congrats!!!
For me is also the wind. I did run this year half marathon of Paris and it was very windy. Man, i see you run and even at that incredible pace (for me) you look like you doing a walk in the park. Good job and congratulations for the awsome youtube chanel. (Sorry for the bad english).
welldone that’s amazing🎉🎉
Hi Ben I’m your new subscriber from Miami ..just love watching all your videos,you’re so much fun and a very positive guy.I just started my training for Miami Full this coming February.I’m learning a lot of things from you.I love your hat,I’m gonna get one for sure.Just keep what your doing..your changing lives👍
Congratulations 👏 👏 👏
Congratulations man
Awesome, well done, see you at Berlin 👍
Awesome run, Ben. I love how you casually run along filming in your pink gloves 💕😝
Be really interested to see just how different the vo2 Max is to the Garmin. I never pay much attention to it, as I’m guessing the Fenix is way out.. so looking forward to that report. (..and if it’s not that far out I’m going to put the Pringles down! Lol)
Well done Ben. I enjoy your videos. My son has run there. about the same time you did. His day was sunny and warm!
110 degree Fahrenheit Long Runs for sure (Arizona Weather)
love your awesome channel ben! So inspiring! Wish you all the best at the mozart 100 in my home country! Be prepared for 30 degrees, it will be fu**ing hot on saturday! but salzburg is worth the travel and sweat.
Greetings from austria
franz
Thank you Francis.. yes.. fully prepared for a hot one out there this weekend. It looks roasting! Can't wait to visit the beautiful city of Salzburg!
Congrats Ben 👍🏼
You seem like a great person and you are always smiling..... so i subscribed
Welcome to the channel Rowan!
well done ben ,,very inspirational ..we also ran the 5 and 10k at dorney on saturday .windy and sunny .but overall enjoyable 'good luck
Recently discovered your channel and am enjoying your videos 👍. Will look out for you at Mont Blanc Marathon (although you will be way ahead of me 🤣).
Amazing!!! Sarawak, Borneo
Great race. Ben, hate running into head winds too but London Marathon 2018 was sooooo hot!!
Nicely done! 👍
Nice one! Congrats on the win! :) Would have been fun to see more of the course and race from a runner's perspective. I run almost all my races with a GoPro-camera on for the whole race. It does take some extra effort though and isn't exactly ideal for a good time, but many appreciate seeing the course and following along. No where close to 21k (or 24k now) subscribers though :) So grats on that as well and keep up the good work!
Yeah.. that was the plan, but we had some issues with the camera and couldn't film as much of the race as we wanted to. Was meant to be like the London marathon video.. but oh well. Thats technology and it doesn't always go right. All the best!! :-)
Wow! Congratulations!
congrats mate!!
That is an amazing time considering the weather and vlogging!
Great video as per and well mate! 👏🏼
Cheers Darren!
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Great work!! From California
Congrats. So fast!
Nice, Best regards from Mexico
Well Done Ben - awesome as ever! Have you thought of the Hardmoors series - they're beautiful, hilly trail runs and are really good fun (slightly silly at times as their half is 17m) with a strong sense of community. There is a Hardmoors 30, 50, 110, 200 .... you could celebrate your increasing subscribers too!
Nice vlog! This popped up on my suggested videos. Did the 10k at Dorney, that was some wind! Also Dorney, somewhat surprisingly, is in Bucks.
Always wanting me to reach my goal thanks.
Well done ben great run 👍
man I got caught in a driving rain about 6 years ago in KCMO, it was the absolute worst. I have yet to run into anything that has hampered my performance more.
I have a 15K trail run in Frisco TX on the 15 of June.., I am really excited for it.. getting ready for an ultra
Congrats coach
Congrats Ben
Congrats!
now its 100k subscribers!
Hi Ben, great running. Congrats for your first place. I'm running Torbay half in a couple of weeks. Would be good to see you there.
Good luck Gabor. I'll be at my sisters wedding that weekend, but wishing you a great race!!
I'm doing this one in July! So good to see it being done on this channel xxx
Good luck in July Bhavini!! You'll be amazing!
I just finished my first ever 21k freedom run here in the philippines and you always give me an inspiration for running thank you so much
Well done Simon, that's awesome! I'm up to 18km but just on my own for fun. Running in groups petrifies me tbh.
@@ginag8723 thank you so much ma'am
There is a very simular lake at nottingham i've ran around a few times. Its always windy one side so i feel your pain. But like you say you gotta deal with it and you won! Excuses are for 2nd place
Just amazing!
Well done champ! Starting one of your training plans with the York Marathon as the A race, looking forward to it! #gettingitdone
Awesome Nathan!! Keep my updated with how your training goes.. wishing you all the best for that and of course the race!!
Cheers Ben!
I ran it in 2h37 Ben but I’m 15 so I think it’s a good time. never saw you there unfortunately!

Slackers! I finished 3 days before I started the race which was 23 years before I was born. Sadly I cant upload my time to Stava.

Crikey Dude datz propa quick mega kudos Ben 🤟🏼
Thank you!
What I like your video is, you always happy and smiling 😁😁😁😁😉👍
I can only dream of a) running that far and b) running that fast!!
Well done 👍
Well done Pal 2.20 is s big ask but if it all comes together on the day anything is possible
Love these race reports. Do more! This is why I subcribed
That's the plan!
Congrats Ben!
good work out there sir
Congrats ben on 22k and on winning a half marathon while vlogging :DDD
Absolutely fantastic , well done 🏃♂️💪
Grow up with the Smith Family and trained with Toby at Basingstoke. He was one of the best Juniors in the UK and 31 10k runner, so good to see them still running as most disappear from the sport. A few comments towards some of the runners behind Ben I don't think was needed. For example Toby is still young, so he might return to a high level and rival Ben one day ;) But Nice footage Ben and win :)
