    Process

    As a fell runner, Wilmslow was the first road race I had ever entered. Aiming for sub 1:30 I would have been happy. Toward the end of the tapering block my legs were sizzling with energy ready to race and ended up with a 1:22. Ben's plan was fantastic, correctly with a big emphasis on easy and steady volume. It was low stress on the body and I could swap some sessions around. It was the first time following a plan and it was actually really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and now looking forward to using the Ultra plan later in the year. Thanks Ben! Legend!

    9 minutes off my PB! Awesome programme

    It's a great programme, clear and progresses nicely. a variety of runs which is a bonus and keeps it interesting. I didn't manage to do all the runs each week but I still improved massively. I also didn't really feel at risk of overtraining as it builds up well. Was delighted to not just break the 90 minute barrier for the first time, but smash it. Would definitely recommend!

    1:26:48 PB thank you!

    Another great and varied programme that has helped me break another PB. I'm also using this plan to continue training for the Great South Run although it's a shorter distance. Really helps to have structure in my training. Putting the work in especially on the interval days has really paid off.

    Fantastic!

    Followed this plan religiously.. helped me get from 1:40 to a 1:26 half marathon!!

    The plan has a great mix of easy, speed work and long runs. The goal pace sections really help break up them long runs and were so crucial to help me break my 1:30 goal!

    On to the next..

    Simplyhealth Great North Run 2019 (01:33:57)

    On Sunday 8th September 2019, I ran the Simplyhealth Great North Run 2019 in 01:33:57.

    It was a negative splits race and an 8 minute PB. I ran the course 25 minutes faster than my time from GNR 2018 and 1 hour 19 minutes faster than my GNR 2017 time.

    Following the successful progress made in training for Manchester Marathon, it made perfect sense to continue using a Ben Parkes Training Plan and build on the momentum.

    My marathon training plan was a Level 2 Improver Plan.

    In the lead up to Great North Run training, I spent a month considering which training plan level to choose. I knew I could step up from Level 2, but how far?

    I purchased both of the following plans so I could review them closer and see which would be most suitable:

    Level 3 Intermediate (Target Finish Time 1:35 – 1:45)
    Level 4 Advanced (Target Finish Time 1:25 – 1:35)

    I learnt from this experience to believe in myself more. Often self-doubt can play a part. So it’s important to back yourself, believe in your greatness in order to push beyond the comfort zone and see what happens. I’m glad that I eventually chose Level 4.

    My main concern was that the Level 4 plan had a few of the mid-week sessions that went up to 13K and a 10 mile long run. These distances would not be possible to achieve within my available lunch break.

    On these sessions, I ended up splitting the distance in half and making up the total by a double run day commute to and from work.

    In the end, achieving 1:33 meant I surpassed my Dad’s Great North Run best of 1:35. This took on greater meaning and significance, as I hope to inspire my daughter in the same way as my Dad inspired me to start running.

    Thank you Ben for helping me to achieve something I never considered possible before.

    Life changing!

    From casually watching the YT channel, to now having followed the 10K and 21K plans, I have shaved minutes off my 5K, 10K and 21K PBs.

    The plans have completely changed my attitude toward running (and life) over the past 9 months. I feel strong and confident - nothing feels impossible anymore!

    Currently training for my first marathon (next month) with the L4 Marathon Plan and already planning races for the next 12 months.

    Thanks Ben and Sarah!

    Let's goooooo!

    Awesome plan

    I have been trying to run under 1:30 for years. With the help of this plan I finally did it. Getting home in 1:28.05.

    Would 100% recommend Ben's plans to anyone who is trying to set a new pb.

    Thanks Ben!

    Another great running plan from Ben. Target time was 1:35, ended up with 1:40 due to the humidity and hills!

    Great Plan

    I was very happy with this plan. Very easy to follow, both the pace charts and the weekly notes helped a lot. My fitness improved more than I expected. I'm planning on doing a marathon training plan next.
