Left it all out there today! šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

So happy, but a bit annoyed I didnā€™t dip under 2:45! šŸ˜†

Thatā€™s a solid PB Lee. Iā€™d be calling that a 2:44:72.

Weā€™ll done guys a couple cracking times there. How was the Esther in Manchester? Itā€™s been a bit sunny here so I feared the worst for the marathoners

Assuming a typo for weather, it was cool and cloudy, even had a spot of drizzle at one point. Pretty much perfect for me, just a hint of a breeze but with such a big event plenty of people to hide behind and it was tailwind for the last third once we were spread out and desperate :-)

Good running as ever. Well done Lee super quick. Nice ones for JDA, Gus and Fergus too.

I finally conquered it and claimed a 2.57. Weather was perfect. I realised the Garmin was out by mile 4 or 5 and it steadily got worse. I had consistent pace and although felt quite sick from mile 23, managed to maintain without a deterioration.

I think i can probably go 2 minutes quicker in similar ideal conditions but for the moment Iā€™m enjoying the it starts with a 2 feeling!
