Seriously, with all these KZreadrs running New York Marathon, Ben must by far be the best of them. 2:43 is by any standards a extremely good time. 227 place out of 50.000+. Mindblowing.

While filming and narrating. Close to zone 2 running since he is almost talking in full sentences.

Amazing achievement! The fact that you ran that course in 4h 11m when you were 15 years younger is a testament to your dedication to fulfilling your dreams through hard work and persistence. Kudos to you Ben, you are an inspiration!

Brilliant stuff! What I like about running is that even we're not in the same galaxy ability wise, I can still relate to everything you're going through. :)

No kidding! I ran a 28 minute 5k today and felt like a rockstar 😂. The worst thing we can do is compare ourselves to others, especially guys like Ben that are so fast.

it's all relative to his own potential. it's 20 mins of his pb so what do you expect? if you ran 20 mins slower than youre pace you'd be able to do the same. seems more worried about videos than reaching potential atm. lame.

Imagine being able to run a 38 min 10k whilst chatting in to a GoPro. Damn dude you can run!!

Ben is so entertaining that I sometimes forget he's fast as F. 2:45 training run.... Valencia is going to be a good one.

It is actually an old show-business quote, not a running quote about making it in New York.

Any runner who can run a marathon in under 3 hours has earned my respect!

Very true. Most sub 3 start with the same potential as those who scrape a sub 4; they just work smarter and harder. That's not knocking 4 hour runners, as that is where I'm at and I know what it takes to get to 4 hours.

Watched this when it dropped, but had to come back today after I got drawn to run this years NYC Marathon. It’ll be my first major. And I cannot wait!

Great job Ben! You're amazing! Yes I did do the NY marathon and I was looking for you... Disappointed I didn't see you but had a great time running the NY marathon. It was very difficult in my opinion but nevertheless it was a ton of fun and now very surreal. Thanks for sharing your journey 😊

Congrats!

freaking awesome, thanks for sharing!

Awesome 🙌🏻

Thanks Ben

Wow, great run. thanks for video

Another great video and even greater achievement. Well-done :)

amazing run and video, thank you

Great Achievement! Congrats 🙂

What an amazing race! You are correct, that was TOUGH, those bridges and the "climb" into Central Park were no joke! My first NYC and 18th overall and easily one of my favorites. Thanks for the great video, it was fun to watch and think back to that day. The death march to the exit was kinda cruel though, I have never had to walk so far to leave a race after finishing haha.

Awesome running Ben well done, love watching your videos xx

Congratulations Ben, inspiring video

Amazing, amazing time, congratulations 🎊!!

So inspiring and extremely proud of you Ben!

Amazing to be able to re-live the race through your video Ben. This was my first ever marathon and as a long time NYC resident it was an absolute dream come true. I was so unsure of how I would do with the course and started off super conservative for the first 6 miles. This led to a nice negative split however and a finish time of 3.19. Am absolutely thrilled with how it went and I owe a lot of it to people like you who put out excellent content on how to train properly as well as motivate people to run and shoot for their goals. I can't wait to get back to regular training and improve more over the coming year. Hope to do another marathon next year. Awesome result Ben and glad you really enjoyed yourself out there as always!

I always look out for the NY marathon. When I was about 15, my Dad did the NY, London and Paris Marathons in the same year and that inspired me to start running myself. I'd love to do the same one day.
