Sorry I was frequently present over the past decade (6 times since 2016) but having a bit of a break from marathoning for now. Hope training went well and tapers underway……

Looking forward to tracking the Manchester runners this Sunday. Hope you're all enjoying taper and good luck making it to the start line without any new issues!!

I'm hoping so too! I went out for a little 2.5 mile shakeout earlier, which felt far tougher than it should have done. Hopefully it's just taper nerves. Ready to just get this one done now |

Weather forecast has improved very slightly, now showing only 19 degrees instead of 20. Just hoping a bit more cloud gets blown over! |

This late April date has the potential to make the conditions a bit more of a lottery. Most of mine were the first Sunday in the month and they were all comfortably cool.

I'm red start, which is 9'10, I don't run so well in hot weather so fingers crossed 🤞. Best of legs to all runners |

It's just my luck really - Manchester Marathon 2012 was freezing and raining all day, so I wanted no rain for this one. It's now going to be scorching instead 🥵 Oh and I think I'm getting a cold! Going to reframe my goals to just getting round now, which is a bit of a shame after all the training |

Also thinking of breaking one of the cardinal rules... Nothing new on race day. With the heat, tempted to ditch a t-shirt and go for a vest instead. Been a while since I've run in a vest though and also not sure how it will interact with my running pack 🤔 |

There’s water stations, ditch the back pack and wear a vest. |
