Chester Marathon 2024 - My LastOne!

[@williamjamesdeering-webb1656]

Well done Kevin, that was a great run considering you felt unwell at halfway. As a runner in the same age group it’s nice to come across a video like this. My maximum race distance these days is 10 miles & that works for me very well. I live in North Wales & there are plenty of events to keep me busy. Best wishes for the future & keep it going!

Thank you so much for watching the video William, Chester was a really tough marathon! I'm glad I've inspired a fellow golden oldie. Good luck with your training 👍

Well done Kev 🎉 This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and was great to watch… now on to your Humber Bridge parkrun video 😁

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks so much for watching Rachel! Keep up the fantastic work on your channel which I love to watch. Chester is a certainly a testing Marathon Course 👍

Well done, I did the metric that day. Those hills at the end were really tough but the crowd great

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks so much for watching the video, well done to you too for finishing the metric! Yes it was a tough last 10K especially the last hill! Crowds were brilliant weren't they

[@DannyBolton23]

Awesome work mate it was my first marathon, the crowd as you entered wrexham and then that final push to the finish line were absolutely amazing

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks Danny, really appreciated! You picked a tough course for your first marathon.! Yes that half mile to the finish was brilliant, the support was awesome 👍

[@tworunningbrooms]

Well done there sir. Although a slight positive split on that course it works out pretty even. I'm sure you'll do another one.

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks Guys very much appreciated 👍 Really sorry Dawn that your run was ended with sciatica. I'm sure you will keep on keeping on! No way will I do another!!👍

What a fantastic video and well done for an awesome performance.

Thanks so much Paul, I really appreciate your very kind words! I am really pleased you enjoyed the video 👍

[@Paulrunsdaily]

@@samsonslaphead1 no probs, I had a torrid time at Chester last year but will be back one day.

[@fiddler8595]

Congratulations! I hope you would still do the world marathon.

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks, maybe the World's are certainly tempting. I have already done London & Boston. If Berlin or New York came as an opportunity I may consider them but doubtful at this stage

[@markedmondson5364]

[@TheRunningWhale]

Congratulations pal, excellent effort 👌 How many times is it you've said no more marathons after this? Hehe

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks so much for your kind words, no more marathons, I really mean it 😉 Just HM & 10K's for me

[@markg99]

Great performance. Will you miss this distance if you don't do it again?

[@samsonslaphead1]

Thanks Mark, there's no doubt I will miss it but not the training for it👍
