Right out of the box, this hat fits great and looks even better. Ran my first race with it yesterday and it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all and kept the sweat out of my face. After a quick rinse it drys clean with no sweat stains. Highly recommended!
Easy to follow, family-friendly, and keeps me motivated after the long training for my last Marathon. Thank you so much.
I purchased a marathon plan to prep for my October Marathon. I had time to use the plan’s last two weeks and tapered preparing for my spring half marathon. I achieved a PR and took exactly two minutes off of my previous record! This plan takes the guess work out and forces rest days, which I need! Well done, Ben!
I loved the plan! I’ve had two failed attempts at sub 3, blowing up at 18 both times. The plan just worked for me and I only needed to move a few of the days to fit around being a busy mum and working . I felt strong through out the 15 weeks and didn’t have my usual exhaustion/over training feeling. Unfortunately it was ridiculously hot on Marathon day and I didn’t hit my goal but I did get a PB taking over 4 minutes of my previous times coming in at 3.06 and I can’t be disappointed with that considering the heat. I felt good and unlike my previous marathons didn’t have to walk, a solid 26.2 miles achieved on the day and I know that if the weather had been on my side that I would have been so much closer to my goal. Going to use the plan for another marathon in October. Thanks guys!
Trained for 10k in 1h, ended doing them in 56:37 min.
HM plan already bought! Thanks Ben 💪
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
