Filming and talking whilst climbing the monster hill. Wow. Well done mate. I ran 3:27 and whilst it wasn't a PB, it was a character builder to not have walked those hills in the second half.

Haha thanks man! It was a hard multi task, slowed my pace down for that. 3:27 is still an an awesome time dude, you crushed it & you’re right, the hills were a test, I found slowing down on declines harder than some inclines to not blow the quads out too soon.

Well done on your PB. Thats a great time. I’ve entered for 2025 and I’d be well chuffed with that. Just one thing, by what metric do you work out that it’s the hardest marathon in the UK?
@reece.hopkins3 ай бұрын
@@davidhodgson3901 thanks mate! Glad you’ve got it entered, train hard and work hills in to your training. Wasnt stating facts with the thumbnail, more my perspective but I bet it’s probably one of the hardest with the sheer number of hills and elevation
