Manchester Marathon - got round! No records broken, and to be honest, it was pretty brutal out there with the heat. Strong first 15K, but the sun definitely got the better of me. That said, proud to have stuck it out and crossed that finish line.
Lessons learned:
• Practice running with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses.
• And for the love of all things good — don’t wear black in the heat!
Huge thank you to all the amazing support from friends, family, and the fantastic folks of Manchester!
Massive shoutout to my great mate Barnes, fellow osteopath and running partner for talking me into signing up (I’ll have you for that later), and to our fabulous friends Max, Matty, Evi, and Jackie for being the best pit crew anyone could ask for. Marathon
