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.

Ran my first Marathon of the North, my 5th marathon to date. Delighted to have ran 3 hours 3 minutes and 26 seconds gaining me a new marathon pb and a good for age time for next years London Marathon. 25th finisher out of around 700+ runners. Onto race, very tough one. For starters the wind was very gusty from the word go but didn't really affect me until mile 17/18 onwards. Course was up and down all the way through with the exception of city centre. Apparently a tougher course than last year with a cheeky long hill added at mile 18-19 which was an absolute killer. Loved first half of race, plenty going on, second half of race was awful. Hillier and just grim. Ran really comfortable but soon as I turned at mile 18 against a strong gusty wind that was it. Was just a case of digging in and sticking with it. Wind heakding back to stadium was unreal. Hope I never have to race in conditions like that ever again. Overall very happy though, given what I had stacked against me very pleased with time. Marathon was good, not one I would do again though, second half is just too grim, no support, hardly any marshals, more hills and just feel like its going on forever. Too many twists and turns! Bring on London next year!!
