So after 8 months of training I have finally completed my maiden marathon - the Rob Burrow in Leeds. My aim was to finish in less than 5 hours. Thanks to some brilliant advice from lots of people and some superb support for friends and family especially Cass Luty and Julie Parker Hayes managed to finish in 4 hours 22 minutes and also post a personal best for both 10k and even shave off over 10 minutes from my half marathon PB. Really proud of myself and definitely looking forward to not going running tomorrow š¤£- everything hurts right now.
Please if you can donate to caring for life on the attached link it would mean a lot to me xx
