High quality and personal

Second t-shirt I’ve bought from the Parkes Running shop.

The parcel arrived quickly despite Ben running the London Marathon that weekend. T-shirt is v high quality, exactly what I look for. Fit is great for me, true to size.
And I love the t-shirt motto - those who are runners can connect with it, helps me connect with other runners!
Thanks Ben and Sarah! Keep smashing it out of the park!

Taking the plunge into ultra trail running!

Have only been running for a couple of years but wanted to take on an ultra. Although this seemed very daunting (50k) I had a really good experience with previous training plans from Ben Parkes (This is my 3rd different plan) so no hesitation to purchase this plan. So really getting into it, learning a lot transitioning from road running to trail and hopeful my first ultra race goes well!

Marathon time achieved!

Thank you so much for a great marathon plan. This was my first marathon and trained for sub 4 - achieved 3hr 50mins at Manchester Marathon 2025. Totally chuffed with that so thank you so much. The strength workouts massively helped as well, they're a great add on to the plan.
Never thought I could run a marathon so thank you for helping me achieve this.

Perfect cap! Now I need more 😊

After receiving this cap sooner than expected. I was pleasantly surprised with how perfectly it fits. Super light and breathes wonderfully. I love the two tone on the bill of the cap as well. Can’t wait to place another order for some more colors. Thanks for everything Ben. You’re such an inspiration to me!

Getting It Done Running Singlet

Cool and Cooling (If that's what the kids say)

Got lots of Parkes T shirts which are amazing quality are comfortable and wash well.

The beautiful British weather has forced me to upgrade my Singlet collection. First outing in it today but really comfy, fits perfect and looks the part. Fast shipping and Delivery. Thanks Team Parkes for yet again more amazing merch and superstar service 11/10

Cool head on a hot day

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.

Marathon Plan Intermediate - L3

Pedro Cabrera (NL)

Great program with lots of variety!

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!

Marathon Plan Advanced - L4

Matt (GB)

Everything went to plan…

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.

Marathon Plan Beginner - L1

Sarah B (GB)

Great plan (and it's free!)

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!
