Basically started suffering after mile 18. The course swings round into a headwind and my quads were starting to protest !! Hung on for dear life until the finish, it was quite hard.
Reckon the whole process of training and running the marathon will help the hill running and looking forward to getting back into the hills !!
Happy days. Feels like the closing of one chapter and the start of another.
