Even if you took it easier than last time. Legs still took a heavy pounding so well done James!

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Jasper! Yeah, definitely a lot of impact running a road marathon.

Fabulous running James and every marathoners dream - a negative split !! 🎉🏃🏻‍♂️🏁

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Michael! Yeah it was a great day.

Well done James. I did Southampton marathon last year and the hills and the Itchen Bridge absolutely killed me off! Hardest marathon I’ve done. Really well done.

[@pasqualeruzza2674]

I did the 10km there because they advertised it as flat and fast.. Itchin bridge! lying b@st@rds! 😂

[@jamesday1]

Thanks! Yeah the route is brutal. I'm not sure I'd enjoy racing the route but it was great for a long training run!

[@heretohealth]

Nice work Bud! Great to see the course again, bringing back memories.

[@jamesday1]

Thanks mate, definitely a challenging marathon route!

[@paulvymeris425]

Great vid James (and great running). "39k in, really enjoyed this" - probably not something people often think during a marathon! Looks like a fun training run for the 100 miler 👍

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Paul! Yeah, was a totally different experience to racing a marathon. Not long until the 100 now but looking forward to it!

[@Ultrarunningamber]

What a great day for you! Congrats on the finish. Keep training hard and smart for your 100 coming up.

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Amber! Not long until the 100 now 😬

🎊BRAVO James!!!🎉👏🏻👏🏻 Running a marathon just for fun, just for training!! Ohhhhh I am looking forward to getting to that level myself!!!!! One day, one day!!!! Was your heart pounding a little nevertheless?? Your easy pace is way faster than my flat-out-giving-it-my-all pace 😂😂 But that's only inspiration, as fortunately I'm not stupid enough to compare myself with others, only with my own steady progress!!!! I laughed at you wanting to stop at BurgerKing, for me it was for a giant cappuccino or venti latte!!! 😂

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Bev! Yeah I was a great day. Always a bit of pre-race nerves and it was super busy at the start trying to get ready. Pace is all relative 🙂 I train with people at the club who run marathons at a pace I can barely sustain for 400 metres 😅 Definitely hard to avoid comparisons though! Haha definitely tempting having a burger king on the biggest/longest hill of the course! Not sure I could handle a coffee mid run 😂

[@isaacpodesta792]

Nice work! I came in a similar time to you, think I might have seen you on the way 👏

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Isaac! It was a great marathon - definitely not the easiest. Hopefully you enjoyed the event!

[@ChloeHamard]

Congrats! Even if you took the race "easy" it's always rewarding to get a medal at the end of a long run! Best of luck for the rest of your ultra training

[@jamesday1]

Thanks Chloe! Yeah, it was great to have the company and crouds for the long run. Not long until the 100 miler now 😬
