An opportunity popped up.I said YES!I had an ultra itch too scratch.Didn't do the training for it. But hey, you live life once!Here's how it played it.Thank ...
The big man Nick Bester checks in after blowing up in the Wings for Life Munich event. He lets the viewer know that he is "built for ultras" but ultimately drops out at 50k because it was "getting physically dangerous" and he has to think about his wife and kids. OK chief whatever you say.
Seth Demoor still getting running gear for some reason despite doing no reviews and views dropping. Says the next vlog will be from beaches around the world... So whatever that means... I would venture to guess maybe Michigan or something.
Here is my lived experience of meeting a famous run-tuber at the Night of the 10k's on Saturday night.
It was ostensibly a beautiful, euphoric evening and we eventually found ourselves in the interlude between the elite men's and women's races; a veritable lull in the action. Seeing as I had been hydrating myself with Thatcher's cider all afternoon, I was therefore enjoying a much-needed wazoo in a hedgerow behind the track.
Perhaps midway through, I was perturbed when hurtling towards me out of the hazy London dusk came a familiar silhouette, all in black, but tastefully topped with a white baseball cap. Veritably, this was a distinctive pastiche of stylish, running-related gorpcore. In no uncertain terms, yours truly was considering an ensemble that was unmistakeably put together from the wardrobe of a run-tuber.
Once the specimen lumbered close enough to be rendered in full view, I was struck by the realisation that it was 'Ben Is Running'. Subsequently, I found myself as Captain Ahab in this encounter; taken aback by the magnitude and ferocity of the Great Whale I had been robbed of all caution. Frenzied and fanatical, the only words I could muster up in my drunken stupor were "You're Ben Is Running!". The Great Whale replied, "More like 'Ben is Pissing'.", as he joined me in relieving himself into the hedgerow.
We soon returned back to the track, paths diverging as we crossed the threshold and bustling fray engulfed us once more. Nevertheless, a renewed sense of comradeship filled the hazy north London dusk.
Lol. Ben's a nice guy. Good sense of humour, friendly and doesn't take himself too seriously. I don't agree with some of the advice he gives, or that he is qualified to give it, but I think he's an overall force for good amongst the dubious world of Shoetubers.

Bruce's euphoria knew no bounds as not only had he encountered the Great Whale, but yet another whale....a whale whose encounter was but chance and could only be seen whilst relieving oneself. It is here that the legend of Moby was borne. Moby both intrigued and plagued Bruce's dreams. Here too, was the inception of yet another shoe-tuber, Barefoot Bruce, the whale hunter.

Incredible. These are the quality posts that keep me coming back to letsrun dot com.

I can't say this was a great use of 15 minutes.
I hadn't thought it through but now realise that his very hefty fees are to provide support for his wife and kids. And that the generic template stuff he sends to his athletes is to free up more quality time to spend with his wife and kids.

He he still waiting for Nike to send him their latest super shoe?
This one is kind of a big deal. I announced on my Instagram a couple of months ago that I was no longer a New Balance Athlete, no longer part of the Pro team...
When did Ben ditch his GF? Or am I just jumping to conclusions? She hasn't been in a video for a while now. His little sis seems to be the sidekick now.

All of the ShoeTube crew will be in on this. You know Spencer "Local Legend" Brown will be throwing down in these to beat some 46 year old parkrun dads and documenting it for us.
