from 4586 reviewsReally good quality running cap really comfortable and breathable, great bit of kit!

Purchased two of these for my marathon training and they're excellent. Fit perfectly, hardly notice you're wearing it, keeps the head cool and they look great! 5*

Great looking gear, quick despatch and delivery . Will order more

I trained for a marathon last year and really struggled with the training and, ultimatley, with the marathon. The training plan I was using was really vague “do strength training” “run x number of miles”
The training plan from Ben has been totally game changing for me, so detailed for pacing, strength training and different types of runs. I’m already seeing a difference in myself and I cannot wait to get to the ultra marathon and get it done!
Thank you so so much, this training plan has honestly made me love running again!

Great fit and style, you can tell it's high quality. Arrived quickly too.

I wanted a new hat that was light, airy and made me run stronger and faster. Well it did the first two and that's a start! This will be in my bag for Boston and will probably be my first of many purchases from Ben Parked Running.

Have previously used Bens Beginner Half Marathon Plan for two races last year, and am currently following it for a third time for a spring half this year.
Bought the 5km Improver Plan (first paid plan I've ever bought) and after a quick review it looks to be just what I was after. Structured like the previous plans but with different run types and pace goals etc... that look to be bang on the money.
Will know for sure once I finish my half training but the 5km plan look to be spot on - a manageable stretch! Confident it'll take me where I want to go!

After successfully using Ben's plans to run two sub-2:45 marathons and a sub-35 10K, I turned to his new plan to target my half marathon PB. It did not disappoint! Despite a challenging course, I managed to clock 1:16:18, a result I’m thrilled with. The structured training and clear guidance made all the difference. I've now ordered the 5K plan and can't wait to see what it helps me achieve next!

I will be running BMW Oslo Marathon September 20. this year.
So will start up the marathonblock june 9.
I look forward to start the program. It looks very nice and easy to follow.
This will be my first marathon and my goal is sub 3.20

Love this shirt! Super comfy, fits like a dream, and the style is on point — makes me feel faster just putting it on!

Fast delivery, arrived beautifully wrapped and the material is high quality. Thinking of buying the green one too!

Much better quality than expected, the t shirt has that thick comfortable type of feeling which is hard to explain without trying it on. My new casual wear favourite.

I own way to many of Ben's caps which are the best around, this one happens to be my new favourite colour way. Couldn't be happier.
