Intro

This is a quick summary of Street Party Run and What’s Next? from the Time On Feet channel. It’s a fun watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the ideas right now. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

Recovery fun run: After completing his first 50‑mile ultra, Ben did a low‑key “street party” run in Brighton, following a bike‑mounted sound system that played drum‑and‑bass. The run was more about enjoyment and moving legs than speed work.
Mixing music & community: Using a moving playlist can turn an easy run into a social event, helping you stay relaxed and motivated during recovery weeks.
Future training focus: Ben plans to shift back to basics – targeting a 5K personal‑best under 19 minutes, adding more trail runs, and doing a charity ultra in July. He’s also pausing a 100K race to avoid jumping straight back into high‑volume weeks.
Practical tips:
1. Schedule a short, easy‑pace city run after a big race to keep the legs moving without stress.
2. Bring a portable speaker or playlist to make the run enjoyable.
3. Set a short‑distance time goal (e.g., sub‑19 min 5K) to re‑establish speed after ultra mileage.
4. Incorporate regular trail runs for variety and to build heat‑acclimation.

Workout Example

“Street Party Recovery Run” – 5–8 km (3–5 mi) easy pace, alternating jog/walk if needed, with music playing loudly (any genre you love). Aim for a conversational effort; the goal is movement and fun, not speed.

Closing Note

Give the street‑party run a try on your next easy day, and feel free to tweak the distance or music to match your own paces using the Pacing app. Have fun, stay consistent, and keep looking forward to those next‑level goals! 🚀
