Did Stretford Parkrun yesterday morning as did 708 other participants. As you can imagine, the start was very congested, and there was actually a longish queue in the finish funnel.
As a result, only managed 31:48, but did my best under the circumstances!

Hi All
Did Manchester marathon yesterday in 4.15, Bit fucked off and annoyed with myself to be honest.
Was blasting it and got to 15 miles in around 2.15 but copped for an injury to my right quad at mile 21.
Last 5 miles were torture, could barely move
Raised around £800 for Cancer Research, hoping to get that up to £1,000
But gutted as I had 3.45 in mind but things can change quickly when your doing a marathon.

Amazing effort mate, understand the upset but wouldn't dwell on it. You've ran a marathon and raised so much money for charity

Fantastic that and to run 5 miles through the pain barrier takes some doing. Funnily enough, someone at work said his sister did the Manchester Marathon yesterday. She completed it in 4.26 and managed the whole course with a fractured ankle!

Well done running through the pain barrier. You shouldn't be so tough on yourself as only a slight drop in pace due to an injury adds up quickly over that distance.

My official finish time was 3:57:49 beating my target of under 4 hours, I'm especially pleased as my Garmin measured the course to be about 600m over. That final 5 miles was tough, even without being injured.

Completed Isabel Trail Parkrun this morning in 31:20 despite an afternoon of Indian Street food and Northern Monk beers with @BoundedCascade in Manchester yesterday.

Did a taper run, for the Leeds Marathon next month and ended up getting a half marathon PB. Over the moon with that one
