Well done to everyone at the weekend congrats to those who achieved the goals and commiserations to those whose races did not go to plan. Sorry to hear of your troubles Claire and agree with davie no point torturing yourself for another 90mins or so. Rest, recover and come back to the marathon when you're ready. Good to see you yesterday Jason, looked good after your 23m the day before. #78 yesterday in 3:05 for me, pleased with that after doing the SDW50 last Sat.

I'm definitely getting back on the marathon trail later this year, not quite decided which events to target. London is obviously tempting, but would be quite a trek (I'm north of manchester, so that's would be a more practical choice).

Roberto Apr 2014 12:43pm, 14 Apr 2014 374 posts	0 Roberto Thanks Vrap, Il have a look, was signed up last year but barely trained for it so didnt go. I have quite a lot of family down there, so its a big possibility.
