Unfortunately even in my very advanced years I haven't worked out to take it easy - guess it's a relative term as anybody watching me at my pace would think I was taking it easy.Just take it easy, I never race it, I'm always too knackered from the start

I'm in the Green Zone. I'm not worried to much about the run, I've done the training so cannot do any more, its the logistics of getting in and out of Manchester that worries me more as I've never done it before.

Im parking at old trafford. Never done it either. Assume/hoping itll be made quite obvious with signs and staff etc from there.
I need to find where they start first I know there are loads of tracks behind Penshaw BUT I have absolutely no sense of direction as I'm crap at this stuff...will do some google
There's a canny site called plote a route that's mostly accurate.
Loads of good routes around the riverside and that

Not even close. Of my 16 week marathon training block I've only managed 4 full weeks & none of them consecutive. If it wasn't niggly injuries it was illness. No chance I'll be running the whole distance so I'll have to Jeff it.

Ideal conditions this morning for Pier to Pier. Well organised as usual. Great event.

Well done, welcome to the club! I thought the same after my first marathon but then booked up for Cologne about 3 days later, the bug will kick in

Well done mate. I bet your scrolling for your next one within a fortnight

I got to half way and was about a minute behind my goal time but still felt great, put the foot down and by 20 mile had it in the bag. 26 miles - I'm 6 mins off. The marathon is brutal. Well done for getting round, it's something anyone who does a marathon should be very proud of regardless of time.
