        @den1mhead Nice work!  That's a pretty solid pace over that distance.  Do you have a usual running route?

          Cheers @Engineer. Where I live is very hilly so I try to mix up the route.
          I have added today's route to my post FYI.

                        @Brock you had some great weather on Sunday for the race.  I was out on the course cheering for an old teammate of mine.  Definitely wished I could have raced but my achilles bogged me down.

                          Today's training was about increasing Jules' strength and endurance and we both completed 10 miles which was a great result and the longest distance she has run to date 🙂

                            Absolutely, it was perfect weather! Even better than last year. That's cool you were there, and sorry to hear about your injury! I'll see you there next year then [emoji6]

                              Planning on it.  I did the marathon in 2012/2013 so I'm due to take another swing at it.  Nice course, but very unforgiving.

                                        I ran alongside Jules all the way as it was her first half marathon and she found it tough but completed it without breaking her stride. Here are a few pictures;

                                          Ok so I've just put my name down for my first full marathon in York on Sunday 8th October 2017 and was wondering if anyone with experience of running full marathons has any useful tips ? @BloodnThunder, @Chris, @llvlaglne, @summ3rhays, anyone else?

                                            No full marathon experience here, I run 5 km every year once in a corporate run, for which I just at present keep procrastinating the commencement of training. Thus sorry I have no hints, but a big thumbs up for your stamina and readiness to do this. Plus the personalised shirt looks, well, like you're a big name and real star at this sort of thing. Which you'll likely become soon…. 😃

                                            Best of luck, and do keep us posted!

                                            Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !
