I’ve done the Mcr HM twice. It’s a pretty flat boring route but good if you’re chasing a PB as it’s fast. Pretty much the A56.

So not quite New York, Berlin or Prague then.

The deed is done. I've signed up. Just have to hope it's a dry day.

Yes mate, I am not an expert but it might be worth staying off the ale the morning of the Marathon.

Yes I got my PB there in 2013 and qualified for London good for age time as well. The course was actually a bit short (discovered a couple of years later), which was a bonus!

I know it's totally different, but I'm tempted to enter the Manchester Marathon. This weekend's BMVHM was my fifth, all done since first lockdown. At the end of it, I still had the legs to continue running (though probably not the same distance).

I trained for a marathon when in my twenties, but I never entered one. It's kind of a bucket list ambition of mine. I would probably be one of the six hour finishers. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Finishing one is a great sense of achievement.
as a guide double your 1/2 mara time and add 20 minutes.
This will be the first time ive trained through the summer for one be weird doing the training on light sunny mornings rather than cold and wet dark mornings.

Just build up gradually. Run at a really easy jog, just adding a bit each week on a longer effort, with shorter ones in the week. You'll amaze yourself in just a few weeks.
