This week's guest on Sheer Isolation is going old-school to help share community successes across the centre of Wiltshire. Ben Parkes is part of the team behind the newly launched Celebrate newspaper in Trowbridge. The idea of the paper is to promote local events, share good news stories and encourage more people to make their home town a more cheery and friendly place. We ask Ben why he's taken on this project, and what he sees are the advantages of promotion via a physical newspaper. On the music menu, we play a brand new tune from Chippenham/Bristol fuzzy rock outfit, The Erotic Secrets of Pompeii, and Ben picks a family favourite during lockdown... a single-take, quirky, sample and loop build-up from South African YouTube star, The Kiffness. In news, we get confused about next month's plans to introduce Covid passports for nightclubs and large venues in England, and we're not the only ones looking for clearer guidance. This episode was created by Kieran Moore in Chippenham and Jon Ponting in Cricklade.

Sheer Isolation 69 - Ben Parkes

Ben Parkes! February 28, 2021

This conversation is with athlete, coach and creator Ben Parkes.  We dive into how he started running marathons. Aged 18 he got a ballot place for the London marathon ballot, and caught the bug, finishing in 4:03.  He went on to run more marathons, concurrently working in the corporate world, he felt increasingly unfulfilled. And after 10 years he decided to hand in his notice and make his passion for running his business, with the aim to help others exceed their own ambitions.  Ben set out to learn everything on the subject, he become a running coach. He is also an accomplished runner, in 2018 he earned a marathon PR of 2:25 at the Valencia Marathon.  We discuss how he's coped with his recent injury. And look at how he aims to be his very best and add value to others running in his work. He achieves this through various methods such as his successful YouTube channel. Which has over 64k subscribers. You can follow Ben on Instagram @benparkes If you value the content I deliver, please consider becoming a supporter of my podcast by donating via my patreon page.
