  • I've mastered the technique of running very slowly at an alarmingly high HR; lets see you tackle that!
  • I think I speak for everyone when I say we miss the "Hello everybody, welcome back to the channel!!" intro šŸ˜†
  • I have a cardiac pacemaker and had two heart attacks in 2023. I managed a 3:56 London Marathon run purely on heart rate not going over 130. It wasnā€™t easy, but it kept my chest discomfort at bay ! ā¤ā¤
  • @rubarb1275
    Running in zone 2 and seeing improvements can take much longer than a few weeks. It does work, but be patient with it.
  • @m0e566
    back in the day I was so focused on zones and shit but i took the fun out of it for me, so i just started run how i wanted and started to enjoy my Easy and normal runs again. I improfed my HM PB by 5min and my 5k by 30s
  • Excellent video Ben! Truly brilliantly executed, the montage and editing is just great. You always had great content, but it is just so good to see your improvements in delivery over time, such an important part for competing on Youtube! And kudos to Sarah as well who is largely responsible for taking care of this side of the channel!! Again: BRILLIANT!
  • I love your videos, your sparkling energy as well as your expertise. Always a joy to watch!šŸ˜Š
  • @NicolasWollesen
    Fantastic to see this type of content again! Donā€™t get me wrong Ben, Iā€™m a big fan of your reviews and often rely on them. But Iā€™m an even greater fan of your vlog type videos (tips and tricks, race videos and your training updates) so hereā€™s me hoping for more of that šŸ™šŸ™Œ
  • @bradmyers5998
    Thanks Ben that clears up questions about what my zone 2 should be, which Iā€™ve been wondering about forever.. also got the 3 running hats I ordered and they are all wonderful, your gear really is top notch!
  • @globalcityit
    I've struggled with this so much. The ego is dreadful! Thanks for this Ben...super, super helpful šŸ‘Š
  • @chakalaka3960
    I used to battle with mine in the 180s all the time until I started doing strength stuff for running and fixed up my diet. Processed, inflammatory foods wreak havoc. I now hardly ever exceed 170bpm
  • @EthanRuns
    Love the advice! Thanks so much for sharing!
  • @LongoJL
    Thanks for the video!!šŸ™šŸ»it helps me a lot!!
  • @jason.rams4
    I used your Half Marathon beginner plan for my first Half Marathon and did great! So for that, thank you! So today, I just purchased your level 2 improver plan for my second Half Marathon in October. Let's hope I "improve" lol šŸ‘šŸ½
  • @Magda-rz4wk
    At last someone has explained this in a clear way! Thank you! I agree 100% that the ego must be left behind.
