                           My Running Diary’s

I started Running in 1984. After my first fun run when I got my medal I got the bug

because I had never achieved anything before. I joined East Cheshire Harrier’s and started training for a good Marathon time, within 2yrs I had broke 3hrs for a Marathon.

            Highlight of my Running Year’s

1.      Breaking the 3hr barrier for the Marathon

2.      Marathon PB of 2hrs 53mins at London

                         3.    Doing a Relay with a group of Runners from Stalybridge England to Armentieres France in Four Day’s.

London Marathon PB.

                        London Marathon. PB.

                        Set off from hotel 07.30. Got to start area and in the “pen” for super vet’s which helps (Sub 3hrs for this) all our own amenities, and right on the start line. Ideal weather condition’s.  Ran 1st Mile 6mins.20secs. 5mls in 31mins.  Got a blister at 7mls.  10 mls in 1hr. 2mins.  Half-way in 1hr. 22mins. No problems so far at Sixteen Miles I was flying.  Got a stitch at 17mls so I stuggled for 3mls.  At 20mls time was 2hrs. 07mins. So time is OK, so I mentally dug in and kept stride going, crowds were brilliant, they really pull you through.  Got to the bottom of Mall in 2hrs.43mins, had to talk to myself to push on, kept saying it’s got to hurt, quads very sore.  What a time 2hrs. 52mins. 46secs. Not hurt tis much since my first Marathon.
