You have so many good people around you. Beyond the running and being inspired by that, it's all the people around you that I admire.

[ScottColler]

That's a great attitude to have mate, I've had more races take a diversion than go to plan, it hasn't always been easy going forward but it's good to see your way through that. Sub 15 will be yours soon without a doubt.

[collystudio]

Ben, you're a class act! that's incredible running, great progress made in the past year. keep it up, you're an inspiration!

[GymKing]

I just wanna thank you I recently found you're videos and it's made me get back out running again after gaining weight you have inspired me too be great again thanks you.

[Retro_Rich]

Nil desperandum Ben ! You’ve knocked a big chunk off your previous time. If you improve half of that again you are there. Chin up. Keep up the good work. B R A V O !!!!

[barerunners]

Phenomenal work. Your improvements are so inspiring. As a lazy runner, I can see effort put in translates into results. Keep up the great work and your running journey. We are all runners just on different stages of our journey ❤️🏃‍♂️

[fabsterun]

Stomach was turning watching the pre-race: that's how you know it's good. Well done, and looking forward to sub-15 somewhere down the line. Great stuff as usual.

[Merritt]

One day mate you will be on that podium in 1st place that I have no doubt, some bloody fast runners there thats for sure.
Keep up the good work Ben.

Cracking effort after the Marathon and Half in your legs (even if feel recovered....there'll still be residual effort in Sub 15 is a gimmee with fresher legs and a specific block....can't wait champ...BOOM!

[kevinchesham]

Championship races do not always allow time trial type runs. Times take a bit of a back seat sometimes what never changes Ben is going out and doing you best whatever the race tactics
Another on-the-line- effort good to watch your vids Ben-well done-greetings from Dubai

[wanokmorrisson]

Great work ben.15:13 is still a very good time .My PB is still 15:55 which I made last year on a dirt track.
Am looking forward to lowering in the our National championship in 2 week

[robertorton]

Such a great vid mate and a quality race. Surges in a 5k to break up a tempo especially on a track are so tough. You could see from the video the gaps increase and decrease. Loving your content. Keep it going.

[jameswilson]

Ben, you need to use the dragonfly’s. And take the race out yourself to eliminate the surges. Or train with surges in your routine. I train and surge on the straights and sit back in on the bends. This also depend on how big your training group is. James

[DanRuns]

Really love your running form. It makes me look like an OAP crossing the road

[tommylawlor]

Well run Ben under 15 is coming you've got a great attitude

[joachimalexandertyssy]
