Cheers Gaz. Its not me who’s done the Oundle run.
I’ve struggled with injuries since doing the last Manchester Marathon. I’ve not done any races since. It’s not been ideal prep for the Manc marathon but I’d be elated to get within 4 hours 15.
Congrats on your runs by the way, some amazing times.

You have a 20 miler in the bag now mate so well on your way, Ive not done that many races since the last one either, sometimes it being your first race for a while can work in your favour as they do give you an extra push, although I spend most of my races trying to get away from people, the first four miles was a Scottish bloke doing my head in with his monotone accent jibbering away to his mate, then around mile 15 had a scouser who sounding like he was going to have a heart attack on my shoulder for about 2 miles before i shook him off, running at 4.30am has none of these problems!!

Great job mate, is that you that did the oundle 20? Looks like you paced it well.
Agree on the tweaks, theres lots of things that have to go well, rather than just one foot in front of the other

That was me, and thanks! Was nice running a random spot, didn't expect the scenery to be as nice either. Took it out very slow just to get a bit of aerobic training in. Have purposely pushed the pace this week so today was from a slightly fatigued state. But felt good. Alternated between 1m slow and 2m at MP on the final 10m and found the slower pace harder!

Huge confidence booster that. Sub 4hrs is on the cards.

Congrats on your run, amazing stuff. Sub 3hrs is on!

I'm still waiting for my rejection email! A colleague has had his.

Now I've been rejected. Thought the extra wait might be a good sign. It wasn't.
