Chester Marathon 2023 Vlog (Almost a DNF)

[@WinningInters]

So glad this video came out. I saw you at the first out and back part. Glad you got it done, also seen you at Robin Hood before the event started. I was wearing the redhill Road runners top. Chester was my first marathon after trying for a long time but never made the start line due to injury. My plan on this one went really bad but somehow got there and got it done also Well done, hope to see a Robin Hood video soon?

Well done on getting it done, it was a very tough day with that unexpected heat. I didn't record RH as I have vlogged that three times. I am a bit more selective of what I put out now. Saying that, I am currently editing a good one, which I hope to get uploaded some time next week. Cheers!

You didn't let that naggy head voice win, James! Super resilient of you. Like someone else said, we all have those days, but you didn't quit. Well done mate ❤️

[@jamescruze08]

Thanks mate! hope your good.

Excellent vlog James. It was very warm. Was not expecting that heat, I didn't train for that warmth. Had to do a little bit of walking myself towards the end. Well done for pushing on and finishing 💪

Well done James. It's always such a huge achievement to get to the start line let alone finish another Marathon. Always love your vlogs mate.
