Végigcsináltam a tervet, pontosan, betartva mindent. Hétről hétre éreztem hogy erősebb vagyok, és minden mutatóm javult. Tegnap megcsináltam a tervezett 85km-t. Nagyon örülök, nagyon büszke vagyok! Köszönöm Ben!
Did 7 week's 10k beginner plan and felt I had more to give, so bought the Level 2 10k plan, which got me through my first 10k race which I was thrilled with. Have now moved straight into the Level 2 Half Marathon plan. So easy to follow, takes the guess work out of running training. Adaptable to different target finish times and abilities. Encouraging progress and great end results. Would recommend.
This is the first training plan that I've used for a Half Marathon as I know I'm comfortable running the distance and I've never really tried to achieve a specific time before.
I completed my last Half Marathon prior to this in 1:32:01, so I wanted to aim for 1:30:00 in this year's Big Half.
I found the plan and the strength and conditioning exercises really well structured and easy to follow.
It was a bit warmer than I was expecting (and would have liked) on race day. Even a few miles in I was having doubts as I didn't think I'd be able to maintain my target pace. As it was, the training meant that I was able to pretty much run every mile at or below my target pace.
I couldn't believe that I managed to finish the race in 1:29:38 and I couldn't be happier that I did!
Thanks for creating such an effective plan!
After last year's GNR in 2:12 using the beginner plan I bought the improver plan.
Again it was a great training aid helped with structure and motivation when needed. Great mix of sessions.
I ran the GNR again this year with 20 minute improvement on last year's time. Thanks for the plan and I will be back in the future.
Heeeeeeelllllloooooooooo everybody,I bought the plan to sharpen my running skills for my upcoming Marbella half Ironman. It is challenging enough to keep my body shifting in the right direction and formulated in an easy to read way that does exactly what it says on the tin. Ben has created a great plan with lots of variety that literally ‘keeps you on your toes’. He does this with tempo runs, easy runs, speed sessions and progressive runs. I’m aiming for a sub 2 hour half marathon (legs will be tired after 56 mile bike)….. so far, so good. Happy running 🏃♂️🏃🏃♀️
Due to an injury I started running this year. I manages to knock down a few personal goals using the free running schedules that were offered through my Strava subscription. I truly regret not buying a running schedule from Ben Parkes before. The schedule barely costs anything and you get a very good explanation regarding each run. I love the pace chart that helps me to actually estimate the paces I I should run at instead of guessing.
Knocking down a few longer distances before buying the plan was not a bad thing either though 🙂 I can’t wait to see the result once the plan is finished! 😄
I only picked up running at the ripe old age of 50. Since I have never been a runner I knew I would need help. Luckily I saw Ben’s YouTube videos and decided to check these training plans. I absolutely love the structure and thought some workouts look daunting, stuck with it and had great results! I started with the Marathon Improver Plan and ran London 2024 in under 4 hours. Used the same plan to run another marathon within 3 months and improved my time by 8 minutes. So now, I’ve bought a Half-Marathon and 10K improver plans. So really happy with these plans. Would love if these came with a race day pacing strategy but perhaps that would be too individualised for such plans. But otherwise, I’m loving these plans.

Here I am Completing a recent 5K in my Ben Parkes Light Blue Getting it Done T- Shirt along with my Ben Parkes Black Running Cap. Both look cool and are good quality. Would definitely recommend.
This is what Im looking for one size fit all, im normally size large to xl head circumference , but the fabric was stretchable.. I was breathable.
Excited to go out with this new gear! Thanks Ben, Sarah and Sheri for the ultra fast service 👍
