from 4038 reviewsAs always, arrived in a timely fashion with the lovely personalised postcard. Product is great - soft, warm, versatile. As always - super all round service. Well done.
Coming off 2024 London Marathon (4:11) , I used Ben’s maintenance plan to take me through the cricket season and now with 2 half marathons booked for March look forward to using HM level 2 improver with a target time of 1:50 . I am 60 years old and London was my first marathon for 40 years.
Great beanie and blue is my colour! Using it on the daily commute to work and dog walks, though might wear it for a run if we get a cold winter!
Great quality and very warm, thought I had ordered this for myself but, my wife has laid claim to it and loves it, especially the colour!
Ideal for long or short runs on cold days. Comfortable and quick-drying. Well-ventillated tee. Huge advantage made from fully recycled materials. True size. Just what i wanted!
I just received my Long Sleeve Running Tee. It looks great! Even better than in the pics. Excellent fabric and good price. I’m gonna have fun with it! Highly recommended.
This Advanced Plus Half Marathon Plan sounds well-structured and supportive for anyone aiming to achieve an impressive finish time of 1:18-1:25.
Purchasing my hat was a great experience. From the shop to receiving my cap with a personalized thank you card it feels like Ben truly cares about his customers.
The hat itself is great. Does a great job absorbing and wicking away sweat when I went out for my run. Additionally, it is comfortable and easily adjustable.
Very happy with my purchase especially with the current discounted price.
Excellent quality! Price does not reflect how good this long sleave top is - and even better when you remember to use the YOUTUBE10 discount code. Will be buying more. Looks great with my bright yellow (not pink😎) gloves.
Quality as always from Ben, love the content from running to the openness and journey you go on as a couple. Keep it going.
I have been following Ben for a while on YouTube but just recently purchased a training plan. I used the Intermediate L3 to hit a new PR in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. My success in the race was a direct result of the training plan. I've now purchased another plan to get that time down even further. Thanks, Ben!
Great looking top and the quality is really good. Got a weight to it that will be perfect for these chillier days as we head into winter.
But… the best thing for me is that it fits great. Im 5’10 and have found myself in that limbo pace between M and L. For me the fit is ideal. Long enough not to ride up, and wide enough on the chest so I a move and breathe.
All in all a tip top product.
Very pleased with this running cap, Kept the sweat out of my eyes, protected my face from the light drizzle and thanks to the mesh I didn't get hot. I just ran my first ever half marathon with it yesterday and it was fantastic!
My daily mantra is "Today is a good day to get things done" and I really did manage to get it done!
I recently ordered a long-sleeve running tee and enjoyed my first run in it over the past weekend! I'm really impressed by the quality of the garment and also how quickly it was delivered. Thanks Ben and Sarah.
