So last week I signed up for the then 2 hours later I broke a rib. I really didn't think I would make the start line, so I'm overly happy to finish 129th with a time of 50:24. Some way off a pb but happy I finished unbroken.

Not gonna lie, that was horrific. I don't like running on roads I'm more of a trail runner, but decided to give my local marathon a go the and tbh I hated almost every minute of it.

Only 2 weeks after doing the Lochaber 80, which I loved, I'm still not fully recovered so I found the constant 50k steps on tarmac a real struggle.

I was running it with and the plan was to get under 5 hours. We clocked in at a time of 4hr 57min 56sec, so hitting our target time perfectly.

Will I do it again..? No
Will I do another road race..? No
Will I take a break from running now for a while..? Probably

I need to get this niggling leg problem sorted so I can train better and come back stronger in 2024
