this is a great lightweight hat which i have been wearing all week for my daily run. i have a large head at 59 cm and often struggle to find hats that fit but this hat works for my head. the hat is very light and the airflow holes defo help keep you a bit cooler. the adjustable elastic toggle is really good and keep things secure when it's windy. i don't often write reviews but i'm super happy with my purchase and wanted to share that in case you are thinking of getting one of these but need a nudge, i totally recommend it. nice one!

Comfortable and cool! And slightly off beat colors from what I normally wear, which is a nice bonus. And I appreciated the thank you/encouragement card that came with it!

I bought the shirt as a birthday gift for my husband! He watches all of your videos (me too!) and he said that he would love to try your shirts and caps. I am sure he will appreciate the shirt!! I will try my best to keep it as a surprise until his birthday on May 23rd! My opinion on the shirt - very nice breathable fabric and great choice in colours!

I own over 20 running hats from all sorts of brands. I came across this one at the London Marathon expo while picking up my bib. It felt light and breathable, and it looked good when I tried it on so I bought it.

I tested it the next day on my final tapering run, then wore it on race day. It was a hot one, and I sweat more than the average person believe me. Usually, my running sunglasses fog up, but they didn’t with this hat. That’s what made me choose it over my previous favourite.

I can honestly say this hat kept my head cool, shaded my face from the sun, and stopped me from having to constantly take off my sunglasses to defog them.

The only improvement I’d suggest based on my experience with running hats is to make the bottom of the top pin plastic. From what I’ve seen, every hat I own (except one with a plastic pin) ends up rusting or corroding, which can cause skin irritation. I speak as a bald man if you’ve got hair, your experience might be different, but this has been mine.

Great hat. Bought one when I saw the forecast for the London Marathon and so glad I did. Perfect and fitted. (I have a small head😂)

Used this plan to train for the Enschede Marathon on April 25.

Great plan with lots of speed variations, and a logic build-up of the KMs. Trained using the 3:15 target time, ended up running a 3:13:54. Will definitely be getting the next level for my quest to break the 3 hour mark.

100% recommend!

Chose to train for Manchester Marathon using this plan targeting a 4:30 min/km pace. Missed 8km off one long run in the build phase and a MP pace section Out of a long run but still completed the marathon with an average pace of 4:26 min/km. The race was 20 DegC and I still held up thanks to this plan. I will be using it again to attempt sub 3. Thanks Ben, you’re a legend.

This beginners plan helped get me to the start (and end!) of my first marathon. Despite it being a lot hotter on the day than any of my training runs, I was chuffed to be able to run it all and finish in 4 hrs 17 mins. I came into the training block having a decent level of fitness and knowing what my 'easy' and 'interval' paces were, however the plan gives you estimated pace times based on the time you are aiming to finish. It was easy to follow and manageable as I wanted to run 3-4 times per week so I could fit in an extra strength session to keep the niggles at bay!

Following this plan helped me to getting a 25 minute marathon PB. The plan offers a great variety of runs week-to-week which keeps it interesting and motivating. Thank you Ben!

Really like the unique speed workouts each week. Means I dint get bored

Really comfortable and plenty of ventilation.

I’ve got numerous Ben Parkes caps which are all good but this one is my favourite so breathable and easy to tighten on my head.

Really great purchase; super looking hat in a lovely colour. Fast delivery as always and a great purchase. Thanks a lot!!

Just bought my 2nd Ben Parkes running cap. Really good lightweight design that washes well. And fun colours !
