Very good quality, socks feels supportive and comfortable at the same time. Highly recommend it.
Just wore my new t-shirt for my Sunday long run and I love it 👍

My first time purchasing an actual hat for running. I am very impressed. My head was cool the whole run, no more sweaty baseball caps, thanks to coming across Ben's gear. It's light weight, looks good and it's very comfortable.
Thank you very much for your review!! Great to hear how much you're enjoying the new hat!
After losing 40kgs, with a haphazard methodology. I decided on a challenge the Taunton 1/2 marathon looks flat so that’s the one! For a change I took advice and a training plan was needed. Bens plan is clear and simple to follow. The gradual increases in volume and the reasons why are explained. Two weeks in and I’m still going for it . Cheers Ben.
Thank you for your review Nigel! Congratulations on all you've achieved and best of luck at Taunton 1/2. Let us know how you get on!
Followed the advanced marathon plan for my Chicago block and managed to lower my PB from 3h29 to 3h13 ! I felt really good for almost the entire race and negative split as well ! This is the second plan I use after the half marathon one and I would highly recommend Ben's plans for any race preparation!
Thank you for your review Marcelin! Congratulations on your huge PB in Chicago. That's fantastic!! HUGE well done from me!!
Ran my first marathon in Munich in this shirt. Having a nicely visible shirt was actually really helpful for my family since they were able to spot me easily from the side
Great photo Stephan!! Thank you very much for your review and great to hear you used it in your marathon. Congratulations on your amazing run!!
I got this plan as a ‘base template’ for my 12-week training block towards my SUB90 attempt for the 2025 Nike Melbourne Half Marathon. I’m happy to report that I smashed my target on this race - by a good margin that exceeded my initial estimates. Was able to sustain a negative split throughout. 1:26:06 Strava finish time / 1:27:52 chip finish time. Absolutely buzzing! The plan has got the right staged volume ramp-up to reduce the risk of pre-race injuries as well as a good balance of speed & easy base runs. Thanks Ben Parkes! You’re a LEGEND!
Thank you very much for your review Ivan! It's great to hear how well the plan worked for you at Melbourne for you. Congratulations on all you've achieved to run this brilliant time. Well done!! 🙌
It works! Happy to report that I smashed my 90min goal for Oxford Half. Even with having to take a pause of a week due to getting ill, I felt the absolute best prepared I ever have for a race. Still buzzing! Thanks Ben Parkes!
Thank you for the review Phil. It's great to hear how well the plan worked at Oxford for you! Many congratulations on your superb time. Well done!!
Ordered 3 shirts and 3 pairs of socks. Shipped to Australia and arrived at my door within a week. Shirts are awesome! Light and breathable, perfect for our warmer climate. Socks are great too, absolutely stoked with the quality. Well done Ben and family, loving the clothes and really appreciate the videos!❤️
Thank you very much for the review Cheyne! Great to hear everything worked out so well with your order to Australia! Wishing you a lovely summer of running with your new shirts and socks!
