White Peak Marathon 21/05/11 Race Report

Really enjoyed it! My second marathon and it was pretty good the first 22 miles are a steady uphill with three quite severe downhills in the last 4 miles. The downhills really hurt!

Felt really good and was very pleased with my time though I have now got to do another one to get under four hours.

So I might do Nottingham.

Next race is Sunday the 5th of June the Woodhall Spa 10k which is flat and chip timed which is good as it was quite cheap.

So a new Marathon personal best of 4:01.43 well chuffed.

NEW PB!!!!!

4.01:43 knackered I never thought running downhill could be so painful, full report soon.

cheers
