Great quality, just tested it on my first run and really impressed
Hi Ben & Sarah, I bought the ladies t-shirt for my wife from your stand at the LM expo. She is very happy with it saying it fits to size (small) and is soft and comfortable!
Here I am wearing my new Black Ben Parkes Hat. Looks cool and fits well. Worn it for a 10K Run and it’s great . Highly recommend.
Super light and breathable. Great for keeping sun, rain and sweat out of the eyes. The design is fantastic and I love all the little details. The bright and vibrant colour helps supporters find me during race. Another top quality product from benparkes.com👍
My daughter absolutely loves this sweatshirt. She has worn it non stop. So not just on rest days! Fits lovely and so comfy. I chose it for her after seeing Sarah wearing it at the London marathon expo (my husband ran London). Really good quality. Very happy with it. Thank you
Ordered the XS
To put it into conext, I'm approximately 170cm (5ft 6) tall and about 10st
It was comfortable and not too tight around the chest or waist, think the small would have been too big.
I used it for my first marathon with no issues of chafing. It was only 10deg with sunny spells (Welsh weather!) but didn't overheat
Got a hat and singlet now, both good quality so would definitely recommend the running gear from Ben!
3:13:02 with 1,800 ft (550m) elevation gain!!! This was my third ever marathon, after completing my first two several years ago with no training plans at all. I also trained for two other marathons in the past but injured myself in the weeks leading up to the race due to poor pacing in workouts. Using the intermediate training plan and the strength and conditioning throughout for this build made it engaging and kept me focused. I only missed one workout due to sickness and was never feeling even close to any injury or over fatigued even during the peak weeks. The training plan format was ideal for me including the speed workouts and the recovery weeks. I'm planning on using the in-between races plan and then the level 4 advanced plan to hit my BQ in California at CIM. Thank you for everything Ben and Sarah.
I decided to used this plan for my first marathon because it matched my schedules and times. I was aiming for a 5.30 marathon but I finished in 4.45. I couldn't believe it! This is the perfect plan for someone who's a first marathoner like me. Thank you Ben!
The plan was really easy to follow and very informative. I really enjoyed the sessions and the S&C workouts. I hit my goal and went from a 3:59 to a 3:27 at Newport Marathon. I'd happily recommend these plans to anyone and will be trying the in-between plans once recovered. A huge thank you Ben and the team at benparkes.com, I couldn't have got that PB without you😊
Love the layout of this plan. Really easy to follow and lots of variety. Not as high mileage as some of the other sub 3 hour plans out there but perfect for those with busy work and family commitments and it produces results. Got me from 3:17 to 3:00 in Chicago last year. Now it has got me a 2:59. Very happy! Love the magic vest too.
