I don't wear hats or caps at all, but as I need one for a fell race I've entered, I thought I'd give this one a try. I'm pleased to say that its great, I really like it. I've used it in the heatwave we've been having in the UK, and it has kept me protected from the scorching sun. The vented sides are a welcome and you can feel the breeze through it. Overall I'm very happy with it.

Ordered this running shirt and as I hate buying online, I was skeptical as always!
Shirt came to Australia so fast, packaging was great but the best things is the shirt quality, fit and design - my favourite running top for sure -Thx Ben!

Bought 2 more shirts after falling in love with the first one! So comfortable!

I purchased the L2 half marathon plan some months back in preparation for my first half with my goal being to run sub 2hrs.

Before starting the plan I was probably on track to do the half in 2hrs 5min and the most I had run was 16km.

After completing the plan I wanted to share my thoughts. Firstly I thought the presentation/layout is fantastic and easy to follow, I also thought the structure of each workout/run and the progression of the weekly load was really good.

One draw back was that I felt the rough pace guide (which is just that, rough) didn't really suit me and I was left unsure on how to decide what my interval paces should be and what my easy pace was. Some guidance on how customers can work out those paces on their own would be great, if I had followed the rough guide then I don't think I would have progressed as quick as I did.

Another draw back was that the first few weeks are probably already less than many customers are doing and it could be a slight step back.

All in all I thought it was a great plan and I wouldn't hesitate to buy other plans for future goals, it was great value for money and supports someone who inspires us all with tonnes of free content on YouTube. Best of all it takes care of all the planning for you, no need to think what your next run is, just follow the plan and adjust as required.

The result? I had to keep adjusting my goal and at 40 and only been running for about 9 months, I completed my first half marathon in 1hr 52.

During this time I also shaved off another minute off my 5k and around 5 minutes off my 10k.

These are my second pair of 2 in 1 Ben Parkes shorts, the first pair were the shorter version which have already seen me through an Ultra Marathon.
These are the longer version, but equally as comfortable and just excellent all round quality. So many pockets to choose.
Pay more and get more, I’ll almost certainly get a 3rd pair of these next month, but in blue ready for winter training.
You won’t get better than these, amazing and excellent!!

Only 1 WK in at time of writing, but the plan is very simple and and therefore easy to juggle around life as required. I think it's just about fairly priced at £8. It's nice to go into my first block without having to click multiple boxes on spreadsheets.

What a fantastic pair of shorts, fit is exceptional and they are so comfortable. Phone pockets great and love the key pocket! Will be buying more of these, they are becoming my go to for every run!

Bought this long sleeve tshirt. It is light weight, wicks the sweat away really well and feels super comfortable. Kids loved it so much I have just ordered each of them this pattern in the kids shirts. Love the kit and the channel. Thanks Ben (and Sarah)!

Ben manages to find plans to suit every need. I particularly like that he has taken into account that everyone has busy lives and includes 3x runs a week. Carefully thought out and great plan to maximise efficiency.

Excellent hat - light weight, comfortable, great protection, perfect for running hard, hot, sweaty sessions.

Picked this SS running tee up in the sale and found it to be excellent as usual. The fit is great, it's lightweight and breathable - what's not to love?! I don't think this will be my last Ben Parkes tee 👍

Great running top as usual

Great shirt, love the design that makes me feel cinfident. Perfect and comfortable fit.

Really pleased with these socks, smashed out a couple of runs already, longest 7 miles in 27° heat, they performed really well. Comfortable, supportive and not thick and sweaty, bonus is they look the dog's danglies as well in the bright colourway.
