I was 3.56 as well mate! Was hoping to be more around 3.45 but just wasn't feeling it at all. Abandoned that very early and just stuck to a steady sub-4 pace to bank a little bit of time. Managed to hold it until 5k out, gritting my teeth through Sale and up to Stretford!

Chuffed to bits though. Never felt such pain as when I stopped after the line though. Except for this morning when the Guinness and dehydration caught up with me.

The bit around alty and timperley, then brooklands road was brutal.
Once I was through that I was OK.
 
Not sure this Adidas take over fits in with my "anything to do with utd" ethos, but saying that I'm still rough as toast from the after party from Sunday so entering another mara is far from a priority at the minute!!
 
Week 6 day 2 of HM training plan steady/tempo 5 miles. Not my furthest not my fastest but amazing run. This day 5 years ago I collapsed just about to enter Stamford bridge for city game and was rushed into hospital with perforated bowel. Had emergency surgery, coming out of theatre into HDU took collapsed lung. Once that cleared up got MRSA and in insolation room of HDU for almost 2 weeks with no visitors. Then on normal ward for week before being sent home. Couldn't walk to end of my road for over week. Eventually making it to coffee shop and sit reading for hour to get strength back to walk the couple hundred metres home again. Almost 3 months off work. If someone told me then I'd enjoy running so so much I'd have thought that they were crazy.

Amazing stuff mate, keep it up. The human body is a pretty remarkable thing, but so much is in the mindset and if you keep telling yourself how far you've come there will be no stopping you!
