This week on The Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Ben Felton, the chef-turned-runner who’s bridging the gap between elite athlete and content creator. With a 66-minute half marathon PB and a 2:24 marathon, Ben doesn’t just run fast—he captures it all on film, offering rare first-person insights into the world of high-performance racing.


🔥 A behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to train and race like an elite athlete—while filming every step of the way (running 3:08/km splits)

👟 Unfiltered, honest gear reviews from someone who’s tested nearly every carbon-plated shoe out there

🎥 A rare first-person view of elite races, showing the mental and physical effort in real time

🍳 From Chef to Sub-2:25 – how he traded life in the kitchen for life on the road

 🇰🇪 Training in Kenya – what it’s like to run with the world’s best (including someone who ran a 2:18 marathon in flip-flops).

🎯 London Marathon Goals – how he’s preparing to break his 2:24 PB and what it takes to keep levelling up.


Tune in to get the inside scoop on what it’s really like to train as an elite athlete while filming every step.
