Got my Sub-3 Club Tee at the London Marathon Expo by meeting Ben and Sarah in person.
Great tee from great persons.
Thanks Ben & Sarah
I'm 58 and after last year's Canberra Half Marathon with a finishing time of 1.54 using another training plan, I wanted to do this year's race and see if I could get close to a 1.45 time so I downloaded BP's L3 Half Marathon plan and accompanying strength training guide. Having followed the plan religiously for the first 9 weeks, I then picked up a lower leg injury resulting in almost a week of training and fortunately was then able to get back into running and completed the race in 1.46, or what equated to 4.59/km pace. To be honest, at this point i was just hoping to either beat my previous year's time or get down to 1.50 so my final finishing time really is testiment to a plan that pushes your running the right way without breaking you. Highly recommended and thank you Ben.
Goal was for at least sub 40. Was a bit doubtful at the start as I was on the higher end of the pacing chart for 40mins. I started to achieve better targets as the plan went on as I knew if I could run the paces come the end of the plan I had a good chance. A few missed sessions due to some family illnesses in week 5, a week missed between week 8 and 9 due to a tooth extraction, so was not the smoothest training block. Come race day and every came together! Clocked 39:17 for the 10k and was delighted!!
I absolutely loved the double speed work sessions and feel like they contributed massively to my success. The progression runs also were magic! Although I do tend to love that type of workout.
Have already bought the half marathon program with the goal for September.
2019, the year I fell out of love with running! Fast forward to 2025 and my love for running is BACK! And it's back due to the training plans of Parkes Running, plain and simple... the plans are perfectly structured for you to achieve your goal! I started with the 10k one and this year have just completed my first half marathon using Ben's plan! Now onto the In-Between Races Plan L2 and loving it! All the plans are well put together, easy to follow and THEY WORK! Plain and simple... Give them a try, highly recommended!
Very well packaged and delivery was fast. More than happy with the fit and feel of this singlet. Extremely comfy to wear and let's not forget the eye catching colours.
Confession: I bought this as a last minute vest for The Newport Marathon and never tested it before the race. I know you shouldn't do stuff like that but I had 100% faith in the Soar brand because they're held in such high regard. You don't even realise you're wearing it, and that is most helpful in a marathon when you want to keep the discomfort to a minimum. It looks great too. I followed Ben's Level 4 Marathon training plan and wanted to represent the brand and feel good on the start line. The vest definitely helped with that. I'm 5ft 9" with a 36" chest and the SMALL fitted perfectly.
Great fit, super comfortable. Fits true to size. Another great product from Ben! 10/10 would recommend.
Bought this running t-shirt for a 100 miler I had coming up, fitted perfectly and passed a few training runs.
So wore it on the 100 miler and it performed amazingly, so happy with it.
I'm on to my third training plan from Ben now, great set up and easy to follow. Paired with the YouTube channel for further motivation!
I’ve just used the red elite cap at Brighton Marathon and it’s very lightweight, breathable and durable.
