I feel I am in between two training plans, which one should I go for?

Also consider the number of miles or km's for the first week and peak week and compare that figure to where you are currently.

The best success will come from following a plan that is achievable given your lifestyle and current fitness.

Superb!

Just started using The Plan this week and looks like a tough, fun 15week party! I really like to added notes to each week, sums up the key point and what to look forward to! I am more than sure that this will on my way to a PB and would highly recommend anyone to go and chase The Dream! 🖤

Great marathon plans!

Looks great, looking forward to trying it. I did 2:54 early last year using your advanced sub 3 marathon plan. Only thing I don’t like is the intervals are on time, ild prefer meters as I like to use the track. Prev plan I added some easy mileage, and might do the same with this one. But will see how we go. These are great balanced plans to work from, I highly recommend.

Half / Marathon plan

Hi Ben,
I brought this for my Boyfriend for Valentine's Day. He gets training plans, I get handbags.

However, I did try the strength circuit and I still can't walk after a week.

My partner is thoroughly enjoying his HM plan for Cambridge ahead of using his marathon plan for Amsterdam.

Amazing detail

Amazing detail for each run with added paces and strength training. Was feeling lost after crossing the 3h Marathon treshold but the plan helped me get back on track.

Marathon L6 Plan

Great plan, easy to follow and results have been proven. Going to be using this for next marathon season for sure!

Sub2h40

I haven't started the plan yet, however, since I've already completed a sub 3h plan, I believe it will be another success. It will be difficult but I believe it will be possible. good runs.

Quality Item

As always, great quality item, fast delivery and lovely personal note.

Long Sleeve Running Multi Tee

Purchased the item in large and it fits perfectly to size.. it’s lightweight, comfortable, breathable, and perfect for the cold morning runs, with it having the long sleeves. The design on the tee looks really good too. Absolutely love these tees.

A Huge Confidence Booster

I purchased this plan with the intent of dropping 10 minutes off my half marathon PB of 1:39. I felt like it was a little ambitious, but I wanted to push myself. Nevertheless, as things go, I got sick a couple weeks into training and ended up having to miss a few other runs here and there due to familial obligations. I still hit about 80% of training, but I was supremely anxious about the race. I knew I could take time off that older PB, but that 1:29 goal really loomed large come race day. On that morning, I missed my start corral due to traffic, and spent the first 5k weaving in and out of the crowd passing a couple thousand people. Eventually I caught some runners more at my pace, locked in and told myself, "just hold this for as long as you can" and managed to bring it home in 1:29:52.

With as many things that didn't go right in my race prep, the fact that I managed to still hit my time goal is a huge confidence boost for future races. I can't thank Ben enough for putting together this plan. It's concise, easy to follow, and forgiving enough if you have to miss some time here and there. It'll push you, but in the best way.

I'm going to lower that goal to 1:25 for my next half, and I don't think I'd have been able to do it without this plan. Buy it and support a guy giving so much to our lovely sport.

Great Running Cap

I've been wearing Ben's caps for running ever since the first cap he released!
I've worn other brands but nothing compares to the comfort and quality of Ben's caps!
I've lost count how many I own.
My first ever is still like new after many miles and showers after runs!

Helped me feel strong and confident for my first ever Marathon

For my first Marathon I decided to do this plan because I knew it was a tough course. Even when I had my hiccups during training, I came to race day feeling super prepared and strong. My aerobic base felt really good, and I’m so happy I went with a plan. Thank you for such a detailed and easy to understand structure! I finished in exactly 5 hours 55 seconds. For my first marathon in such a difficult and hilly course, I’m so proud of myself!

Great running top

I love the fit of these running shirts and a have a fair few Ben Parkes tops now. Lots of people commented on the nice colour of this one. Here is me wearing mine at recent 10mile event. Thanks

Perfect half marathon training plan

I ran a half marathon on Sunday after following the beginner plan. I loved the plan! The variety of paces and distances kept things interesting, and the variations in the long runs prevented them from seeming too overwhelming.
I felt well prepared on race day and despite some super windy weather I was very happy with my time of 2:08:42. My A goal was 2:10:00 so I felt amazing to beat this.
I've signed up for another half marathon in a few months time and hoping for an even better time!!!

Matching 👌

Bought this top for my wife as she loved the colour so much when she saw mine. Now were recognised at Parkrun for being the matching couple 😂

High quality and supper breathable - won’t be our last order

Great plan,

Thanks for a great plan...I Used the L2 plan to get me around Sydney marathon with a great result.......now onto London.
The sessions make the training journey interesting & inspiring, Thanks again

Awesome for XC Skiing

Wore this shirt in red for the first time. Went for a XC Ski in - 23C out here in Canada. No, I didn't just wear the shirt...
But as the base layer next to my skin it performed flawlessly. I even kept it on for the remainder of the day round home and shopping etc as it was super comfortable. The material feels thick and great quality, so I think this is going to be great come Spring and early Summer morning runs. Love the colour and the style of this shirt!!!
Pretty much exactly as BP market their gear.
Great quality - Feels like it'll last forever.
Great looking.
Great functionality - as a long sleeve on those crisp mornings. Gonna be bliss. Under a jacket XC skiing, felt really nice next to skin.
Also, side note. The crew at BP were really helpful in sorting out a mess left by our Canadian Postage strike. The company reflects the videos. Honest, earnest, good peoples.
Thanks!!! (:
