from 4536 reviewsJust ran my 1st 1/2 marathon today! Wasn’t sure where to start with training but knew I loved Ben’s YouTube channel! Bought the plan and it worked so well! Ran a 1:18 half and I give so much credit to Ben’s training plan! Would recommend to anyone serious about hitting a goal!

Got a shirt I had been eying up for a while anyway. The fit and quality of any Ben Parkes produce are always top drawer and I continue to recommend them to others

For my first HM I had used a local coach and finished just under 2 hours. It was a great experience but too expensive for me to use for every time.
The Ben Parkes plan was really easy to follow and it was easy to taylor to my goal pace. This helped me fit 95% of the runs in around work, family etc.
End result was a 1:51:14, which was a PB of over 8 minutes! Pretty epic considering I did absolutely no strength or conditioning at all 😂.
If you stick to the plans you will make definitely make progress! Thanks Ben and Sarah 🤩

Tried to go sub4 for years, but never really got there. After having used Bens inbetween plan I gave Bens Marathon plan a try and what can I say. Volume and variabilty plus the added strength training really worked for me rersulting in a 3:57 @ Bienwaldmarathon near Karlsruhe/Germany. Needless to say wearing my Gettingitdone singlet and cap :-)

Followed 85/90% of this plan (because of work commitments) making sure to hit all the MP, Interval and tempo sessions, and got a sub 3 hour result in Rome, Italy! Thanks Ben, thanks Sarah!!

Excited for my race tomorrow - love the colour and style of these wraps. Make great sweat bands

I recently followed the Advanced + HM plan, more or less to the letter. The dream was a sub 1.25 after already achieving a 1.28 the year previous. Even the thought of running at the pace required was a scary prospect! I turned up to the North Lincs HM and managed 1.22! I’ve recently purchased the Advanced 10k plan aiming to achieve a sub 37 in June.
Many thanks Ben, exception plans 👏

Long sleeve has a cool design and is made of a lightweight fabric. Looks great. Thank you very much.

Came super quick and after adjusting the back fits perfectly. I have a large head and struggle to find hats that fit and aren’t too tight but the adjustment clasp on this allows plenty room to adjust and tidies away nearly. Great product, very pleased with it. Oh and it looks good too!

The full marathon plan is proving to be a game-changer, making me stronger and faster than ever. My first marathon was off the back of a half-marathon plan from Ben, but now, with a dedicated full plan, I'm aiming to break 3:30 in my third marathon!" 🚀🏃♂️

Very good quality singlet, which you can expect at this price point. Dispatched fast, with prompt communication. Thank you!

Love the bright red colour, the light weight and snug fitting.
Wore this cap when I ran my first sub 5 hrs in Kyoto Marathon and achieved PB again in Tokyo Marathon 2 weeks later! Yeah, this is now my lucky cap!

Such a great plan if you’ve never ran a half marathon!! This was perfect for helping me with learning how to structure my workouts through each week and what the workouts should look like. And for only $11?! You can’t beat it

Ben's plans are just a perfect fit for me. I purchased four others before and now added the 50k and 50m plans. They are easy to follow, well thought out and have all the information (and not too much fluff!) to help you progress well and stay motivated by seeing that steady improvement (as well as by following Ben and Sarah on Strava). I like the simple, solid build-up in clear phases of several weeks where each recovery week is like a little milestone. Thanks, Ben and Sarah!
