The experience will be useful and I suspect will give you hunger for more. You may well pb three or four times on the trot now.

Well done allmatthew on grinding out a result, sounds like an ordeal that most of us in here have experienced ourselves. I've also got an entry in for Mancs 23, so something to train for over the winter ( apart from the ultra 5 weeks before  )

Thanks all, for your kind words. Just to make my tilt at Manchester 2023 all the easier, I signed up for the Hebden 22 at the end of January. At least I'll get good at hills!

Congrats on sub 3:15 all Matthew and a big chunk! A tough last 8 miles is an absolute rite of passage. If you haven't had one or two of those then you haven't had the true marathon experience. My marathons 2 and 3 were exactly that. Still got sun 3.15 and PBs, just rather the hard way. Whereas 4 and 5 were somewhat better experiences! But they are meant to be hard! If they were easy everyone could do them. And absolutely not everyone can! Rest up and bask in glory! G

I clearly doled out decent genes... 1:26/1:22 split for an untrained injured youngster. I was nearly as emotional at the end of that as I was at the end of my first mara. fetcheveryone.com/t-21092028 |

Not too shabby Larkim. You’ll need to move up to Ultras if you want keep the young upstart in his place

Yep, debut in a race. He's the reason I run, just delighted he finally got to toe the line after the last couple of years. If he can clear up a hamstring injury that he's had for the last two years he might be able to run fast sometime 😂
