I used Ben’s advanced marathon plan - was aiming for sub 3 for my first proper marathon and got a 2:52 at Abingdon, which I was overjoyed with.
I have since bought a half plan - hoping to go sub 1:20 in spring and a more advanced marathon plan - hoping sub 2:45 at Berlin ‘27. We shall see at 47yrs old!
Loved the plan. Never done proper structured training before - just a keen cyclist the last 8 years or so!

Amazing! Got the the 2in1 Shorts (long lenght) last winter and they have been my fav shorts ever since. Now went for the half tights in the same size and they did not disappoint! Soft fabric delivering a skin like feeling while keeping phone or gels secure in the pockets

Love the tips and words of encouragement. The plan looks tough but so well structured I don’t think for one sec that I will be bored when executing this plan. Thank you Ben Parkes Running. I just hope I complete the training as I believe it will get me through my 1st ever marathon. 💪

Race tights fit well, great pockets, excellent quality, prefect tights for running on long runs.

Thigh length shorts for summer (Ben now ticks that box as well), Thin long ones for autumn and spring, and now these slights heavier weight, but not too heavy, are perfect for the cold mornings that seem to have arrived at last. Plenty of support where you need it and thick enough that you don't look/feel like Rudolph Nureyev. The added, unadvertised benefit is great compression, really noticeable without being spring loaded - I will be getting more!

First time worn, got a PB at Parkrun🤩
Light and have all the pockets required.

My first wrap, and not my last. Made to last, with great flexibility.

I wore the new T-shirt for first time in last Saturdays group long run. 11 miles and zero issues. The fit was perfect & I got quite a few compliments on the look of it which is always welcome.(you can nearly make me out in the middle of the photo 😆🤣)

Looks fab, perfect for a gift for a running mad son!

I really love this beanie hat. It’s super soft, incredibly comfortable, and keeps you wonderfully warm on cold runs. You can really tell it's made from top-tier technical yarns, and the reflective band is a great touch for visibility. I think I may have to buy the red colourway too so I have an alternative! Nice product, Ben!

Nice fit. Great top to change into after a decent run. Like the print font - true to size

my 2nd long sleeve bought from Ben.
the usual all round comfy feet -great fresh colours as well

1st time wearing the green socks for a 10mile Stebbing Race - loved them. no blisters, no slipping or sweaty feet, didnt really notice I had them on they were that comfortable - pairs the green socks with the green top recently bought from Ben. along with the 2-1 shorts!

Only got this last week, with the additional strength workout too -taking advantage of the spooky 12% off - thank you Ben! not actually started the running plan yet - but it does look interesting with a varied amount of different runs and distances etc - just little things like this can keep you more interested etc... I have started the strength work and very impressed with that. Both plans are well written and easy to follow. Impressed and pleased I bought it.

Best running socks I have ever purchased blown away with the quality, perfect fit, unique design and extremely comfortable.
