Just perfect
Excellent fit, soft feeling, very comfortable run. A beautiful item. Already used it in demanding training. Eager to wear it on a race day.

I DID IT THANKS TO YOU
4 months ago I had never gone out for a run, not even 1km. I got inspired to run a marathon, but I thought it impossible. I started looking into it and I stumbled across Ben Parkes' youtube channel. I saw that there was a way to go from zero to running a marathon in just 4 months. It seemed crazy, but I wanted to give it a shot. I got the free beginner plan and followed it almost perfectly. 4 months later, I ran the Buenos Aires Marathon. I finished in just under 5 hours, which was around what I expected based on my training paces. It still amazes me that I actually did it, but I know it was possible because of the great training plan I followed. Thank you so much, Ben!
P.S. I'll keep running!

I made a personal best!!!!
“Today, I’m not only celebrating a personal best.
I’m celebrating everything I had to go through to get here.
The days when I had no energy.
The training sessions that felt so hard.
The moments when I doubted myself.
The exhaustion, the setbacks, the fear, and all those times when I simply had to keep going.
And in the end… it was all worth it.
Because today, the race went better than I could have imagined, and I achieved a new personal best. 🏃♀️✨
It’s not just a number on the clock.
It’s every hour of training, every sacrifice, and every bit of effort hidden behind it.
Every time I thought I couldn’t do it, a little voice inside me said, “Keep going.”
And today, that part of me was rewarded.

Always get positive comments - and I got a PB!!
Everywhere I run in a Ben Parkes top, I either get a “that looks great, where did you get it?” Or “it’s a Ben Parkes!” Like someone has seen a classic car. Ran the Windsor half yesterday, and still got comments, whilst I didn’t hit my goal, it was still a PB.
All of my Ben Parkes Tees are small, the singlets are medium for the same fit.

5* SPORTS TOPS for every occasion.
I’m a proud owner of several
funky BP’s tops. They never disappoint. Great colour ways, modern, great fit, true to size and I’ve worn mine in several disciplines, running, cycling, kayaking & teaching on poolside.
I’ve ran several sunrise beach runs on Anglesey, kayaked the Acheron River in Greece, cycled around the North West of England and taught swimming on poolside for my school.
I highly recommend Ben Parkes, quality, fabric, colour ways and patterns are incredibly on trend.
I’ve even bought as presents for the family!
Ben Parkes apparel are the best and quite simply, stand out from the rest.
