Any Runners On Here??

On reflection I went off too fast at Manchester Marathon and it caught up with me around 16 mile. Still finished just outside my PB. Lesson learned though for Yorkshire Marathon later this year.

Enthused by taking part in our inaugural local marathon, myself and two close friends and fellow club runners were a few miles in and making our way up a very long gradual hill when I pointed out that we might be being a tad ambitious as we could still see the leaders. We eased off to a more realistic pace and then a few miles further on the route entered a long descent towards the bottom of which was my house. I knew that the family and neighbours would be out to cheer me on and I mentioned this to the small group we were running with and bless them, they spontaneously eased off the pace so I could go through the area at the head of the pack 😀
