clare1976 9:39pm 9:39pm, 17 Oct 2019 4206 posts	clare1976 Baz / WW, you've both read my Abingdon blog. Yours will be very different. I was still a relative rookie back then, I made plenty of mistakes back then that I'd like to think I wouldn't make now. I corrected those wrong-doings several times over the the marathons I ran after that. And you've both got bags more experience than I have even now. Go out and enjoy the glory leg, trust the process and nail it 💪🤜🤛

"""Guys n Gals - I implore you to think about the effort, wear an HRM but learn about RPE and mostly put away ego and thoughts about natural pace.

Speed is earned through smart running"""
