Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Notes & Comments

Chester marathon race - Well what a race I was going well till the 15 mile mark then I got cramp in my Hamstring and had to lie on the floor for fully 5 mins till it eased off. That really was the race over from that point which I am gutted about. I got in with a small group of runners and felt comfortable with the pace they reckoned on a time if we kept it up of about 3:20 which I would have been more than happy with if I could have stayed with them - not saying I would of done.

From the 15 mile point it became a real hard slog the last 3 miles took me about 45 minutes but still happy to get under 4 hrs.

Certainly think if I had done the longer training runs that it may have reduced the chances of me getting Cramp but who know.

Anyway first marathon complete and my biggest monthly mileage to date. Think another marathon will be on the cards - legs are like led tonight.

Cheers
Dave
