Congratulations to Charlie on completing the Windermere Marathon on Sunday! 🏃‍♂️👏

Not only did Charlie complete his 7th marathon, but he also had the honour of accompanying James on his 100th marathon, a pretty special day all round.

James was officially pacing 4:30 and crossed the line in 4:29:12, so the pacing job was spot on. 🎯

An extra milestone for Charlie too: this was the first marathon he’s actually entered while sober. Usually, a few drinks, a ballot entry, and some questionable decision making are involved before a marathon place on the other side of the world magically appears! 😂

A brilliant day out on a fantastic course, and a great way to be part of James’ 100th marathon celebrations.

Well done, Charlie! 👏🏅
