19 mins !
Did you win the race ?
Haha no 5th or 6th I think! 16-17 mins won it. There’s a GB triathlete who runs it and wins it most weeks in 17 mins. Lovely guy but I’d look to find one I could have a crack at first place. Either that or train harder for it
19 mins is incredibly quick. Fair play.
I'll be made up the day i get under 21 minutes never mind under 20!!

21 minutes? Is that on a bike?
25:03 my PB.
Hitting around 26/27 nowadays.
Might come and do Worsley woods once the weather warms up, too long that cross country section in this weather to get a good time. Ironically last time i ran WW i got 21.34 and that was after an 8 mile bike ride to it............... then home again.
21.04, so pissed off that day i hadn't pushed a little harder that day.
I know what you mean. All my week runs I keep at a gentle 'talking' pace...that's how you're supposed to do it (don't go all out basically) then push a threshold run once a week (a park run for instance). I was the same when I grabbed 20:49...it's literally taking off only 10 seconds per KM...but it does reach a point where you really have to run your heart out.
The Stretford one (Longford Park) is a good one for PB's - the start and finish are on a running track.
Doing my first marathon in April! Up to 16 mile runs at the moment wish this ice and snow would fuck off though!
Manchester?
Yeah mate-joined a running club now and it’s made me finally take the plunge and sign up for a marathon.
Which club you with? I just run with a group, not to serious but still do plenty of events.
2nd time running Manchester marathon, aiming for 3:45.
Atherton running club great bunch really helps my running even got me in to trail runs. You will smash it mate I just want to get round that’s my aim
Found it much better as part of a group than running alone, always someone a bit quicker which helps you improve.
Good luck with it mate, tough going between 16-19 miles as there’s fuck all out there in Carrington so messes with your head a bit.
I’m just glad it’s not after Derby day this year as after a skinfull of Guinness it was extremely tough.
Rough weekend all in all last year....
Was going to try Stratford at some point. Have ran Worsley, Sale, Bramhall and Chadderton but Heaton Park is my local one. Tough with a big hill in the middle.
East London? That's some distance for a Saturday 9am start....
Got my 10k PB of 46:24 last weekend at the X-Border race. Really chuffed with it as that's 3 minutes off my previous PB.Just done Mad Dog Southport 10k, 45:30. Happy with that.
Now on way back for a few beers and the match.
