Sarah looked cold when you got back in the car!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Well done Ben, great running. Weather looked awful 🌪🌪🌪🌪

[kofuzi]

Looking good in those conditions! Great work!

[jamesadamson]

Keep getting it done Ben! You might not get the recognition but these vids get people off their backsides and lacing up week and week! #inspiration #changinglives #hi5

[DarrenSmithTrailRunning]

Great to see you having a laugh and bit of fun Ben...I struggle myself with confidence and performance anxiety and the whole 'just go have fun' attitude is one I struggle with despite performing my best with it

Great job #gettingitdone in those conditions Ben and Sarah! My most challenging weather conditions for a race were my first marathon in May 1995 in Ottawa, Canada, it was snowing, raining, windy with a wind chill of -8 C! It was tough, but made it all the more satisfying to finish/survive it all! Cheers, Scott

7:10 "What a fun run out there!"
pans to Sarah's misery face
:D

Great to have you back in good form Ben. That has got to be your funniest video you have made, I was laughing so much and the irony of the medal, was it called Chasing the sun??😂😂 I did the 10k at the Birmingham running festival the week before which was a Run through event. Great event, brilliantly organised and much better weather 🌞👌😂😂

[zirfah]

i cant even hold my camera straight if i were to run 10k at his pace. you are a legend.

[marktolland]

That's a summers day in Scotland 😂

[jimlaidlaw]

A quality run in those conditions Ben !! Sarah’s face back in the car is legendary 😂😂 decent looking curry too

[tonyfennell]

Great to see you smiling at a finishing line again.

[pippastaffer]

Never felt so wet through 😂 first race ever! Won’t be forgetting that day in a hurry. Was nice to see you there!

[davidmellor]

Great to see you back ben and looking as happy as ever at a race! Tough conditions out there but you got it done 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[oliverjewitt]

Nice one Ben, glad to see your back out on track 👍🏻

[iPerilous]

Great job getting it done in those conditions Ben. Glad to be back racing again!

[gary_runs]

Great video Ben, Unlike the conditions! Good to see you racing again! Look liked 'hat forward conditions' but with that wind you would probably have lost it!
Got it done! 🙌🏼

[owenmcgh]

I hope you shouted Sarah dinner after that! She's a legend for supporting you out in that weather!
That run was the epitome of getting it done.

Worst conditions I've run in? 1. The path I run regularly winds through a park floods in the rain. One run it was so flooded I couldn't see the path through the rain, some very soggy muddy feet after that one. 2. Had a staycation in the city, running around in the rain, slipped on a drain grate crossing a road, landed heavily on my knee, then my face. Emergency dentist visit the next day...

[dionblundell]

You rock! I've had to do a TT in similar conditions before a marathon. Not ideal, but getting it done...

[run_ck]

Well done Ben. Folkstone half marathon in 2019 was brutal, 50 mph headwind and rain first half followed by flooded coastal path second half. I ran the NDW50 on Saturday, I managed to see Sarah a few miles and people running in your hats which was inspiring, as I had wanted to do the race since watching your 100 mile video. Hopefully in a year or two the 100 will be on the cards for me.

That wind looked brutal and there was no hiding place from it either! Good to see you back out racing after Cheshire....well done on a great performance in awful conditions!!!
