I like your plan as it’s concise and easy to follow. If I get the runs in I’m sure I can run the Boston hills better. One day get into London.

Hey Ben,

I’m into week 2 of your advanced Marathon training plan and so far all is good. Really enjoying the speed work being mixed into between easy runs. Looking forward to gaining some good fitness over the 15 week block.

Thanks again!

Cheers from Yellowknife Canada

Very easy to buy and VERY cheap training plan, with added strengt work! Can't wait to go sub 1h18m in valencia in oktober :-D

I bought 3 shirts through the website a week or so ago. Delivery was extremely prompt and arrived a day or so after ordering.

I've worn all 3 and all 3 fit perfectly. I ordered small as I prefer a tighter fit. All 3 look and feel great. Very impressed with the quality and finish.

Will definitely be ordering more shortly and can't wait for the shorts etc to be released.

At last! I have been able to execute it completely. Smashed Garmin race predictor time by 3 min :)..
HM pace during training was not easy, but you should remember that you are fatigued and taper will make magic ;)

Amazing training plan! Bought it in october 2023, but last year had some injuries and decided to back off a little bit. Still managed to achieve sub 90 HM.
Definitely advise to buy it with strength training, cause this 30 min SnC are crucial in preparation.

Bought this for my hubby’s birthday… he loves it, the fit and feel is amazing! We love the colour and design… perfect for summer running 😎👍🏻

Beautiful design, fits perfectly and is great to wear during a longer workout. The best design om the marked? It seems to be of high quality and durablity over time:-)

I’ve had a few training plans from Ben and they’ve always delivered. Well structured and informative. Highly recommend.

What can I say… from the ordering and getting discount to the delivery. It was absolutely flawless. I really loved the fact that this is a small family business and it showed in the emails to advise of shipping and I loved the personal thank you card delivered with the vest.
On to the vest, fantastic quality, fits like it should and I was complimented by a few other runners on the design.
I will definitely order from Ben again.

Ran my first half marathon (Utrecht, the Netherlands) using this plan. Target time was a sub 1:45 and ran a 1:42:44 in the end!

Started the process with very little experience (couch to 5K, and then a 15k race at 6:00min/km), so I was a bit hesitant to commit fully to this target initially. After emailing about it I was offered the L2 program free of charge, in the end I decided to simply adjust the pace in the program and keep the volume the same. The result speaks for itself, achieved my target and then a little bit extra.

For me it worked better when I incorporated some extra strength training so I increased that to 2/3 times per week switching between weights and body weight core stability exercises! If i did not do this I very quickly developed some pains especially in the hip area.

Next up Amsterdam marathon, ofcourse using a Ben Parkes plan again!

Love it, love the bright colours,fantastic that its been made from recycled plastic ,felt cool whilst wearing ,usually get too warm. Good fit ,went for a medium .When I buy t-shirts I can be a small or a medium .

Love the light weight nature and fun design underneath. Also quality feels solid :)) very happy

A fantastic plan to get me past my goal marathon pace at London 2025. I loved the challenge of the different runs and the commitment the plan holds you to, allowing me to have a great day. Same plan to be used for a sub three at the next marathon, in the meantime I have my sights on a sub 40 10km. Thank you Ben for all your efforts with content, you are an inspiration I definitely could not have done this without your content and experience.

Hi I wear a cap running on most of my runs and this cap was perfect, it fitted well despite having a small head. So thumbs up for all the smaller runners out there

Just opened the box and 'lurv' the detailing. Not your average Joe cap...

Will it make me go faster is the burning question guys & gals ?

The 'Thank You' card is a really nice touch btw

This new cap just might help this 60 year crack on with his training block for Berlin Mara 2025
