Hey Ben,
I’ve been a recreational runner for over 10 years, but the marathon distance always felt intimidating.. something I admired from afar. I’ve been watching your YouTube videos and really appreciate how genuine and down-to-earth you are. Your guidance has been a huge help.
In March, I bought your Level 3 plan with the goal of running a sub-3:45 marathon. But as the training block progressed, I felt stronger and more confident, so I readjusted my goal to sub-3:15. I followed every session religiously, and I’m elated to share that I just finished my first marathon in 3:14:37!
This PR is for you, Ben. Your plan has not only improved my running physically, but it’s also had a profound impact on my mental toughness. I’ve grown so much through this process.. my eyes welled up crossing that finish line.
And guess what? I’m about to click “Download” on the Sub-3 plan now. You’ve truly inspired me. You should be proud, Ben.. thank you!
