Ran the Blackpool half marathon today.
Horrific conditions but did it in under 2 hours.
well played son. Especially in that weather.

Thanks it was ok when the wind was behind but the othe way was hell!
But I'm raising money for Children's air ambulance so I had to get it done for them.
Anyone got any Strava routes starting near footy museum to go down the Irwell then back along the canals to make a 5-6 mile loop? It looks possible but I don't know if there's always a tow path/riverside path etc. Any tips/city centre routes of interest would be gratefully received.
Knee been bad, think it's my IT band, pain starts in the Glutes, works into the Hamstring then the knee starts all usually after 8 miles or so, meaning my training has been stopping at 13 miles for the last 3 weeks!! Running the Cyprus marathon in just over 3 weeks so hopefully the physio sessions i've got booked in between now and then help otherwise it'll be a painful second half!!
Ouch.
take it easy for next couple weeks, maybe do light jogs and swim instead.
I reckon you’d still smash a half marathon without adequate training
Half isn't a problem Mark, it's the full one followed by Manchester 3 weeks after that..........
