Go long & go slow, say's this week's subject of AI (Athlete Intelligence), ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น. Ben's an experienced runner in several ways - he's been at it a while AND has run around the world, so he's a welcome addition to the LPR roll call AND proves that the timed format suits all levels through the range of distances on offer. Remember, whether your running a 5K or ultra, it's the same event, the same achievement & the same reward.
Ben's joining us @ Wight Lines in October, where he's aiming for a marathon on the day as he closes in on 10 marathons & a 100KM challenge in 2027. If you'd like to hip n hop along the prom with Ben & claim the sizeable Wu Tang/Hip Hop-themed medal then you can sign up here: https://www.longplayerrunning.co.uk/e/wight-lines-13307
See you on the trails!
