Customer Reviews
I ran my first 5K race in about three years earlier this month. With about 2 months of training on my own, I ran a 28:10 which is 8 seconds off of my PR. I had already decided to purchase the 10 week Parkes plan in order to try and get under 25 minutes for a 5K. So I purchase this in between plan to bridge the gap between now and then. A very interesting and challenging package. I am enjoying it tremendously so far.
Fantastic.
I am new to running. I am 48 years old and I've been running for 2 years. I have only ever used plans from Ben Parkes and I have consistently improved in my running which makes me constantly want to keep at it. I can't say enough about this plan it's exactly how much I want to train when I'm not training for a specific race
I am very happy with the in between races plan (level 1) that I ordered. It is easy to follow and just what I needed to keep me motivated. I am really happy I added the strength option as I often skip strength. As a 67 year old female runner I know the strength is so important and having it in the plan is a great way to hold myself accountable.
Thanks Ben.
