Yorkshire Marathon 2017

As post title suggests I have run my Y the Yorkshire Marathon in York on 8th October 2017. It is a fantastic marathon.
I found it very hard. I went with the 3:30 pacer who was actually running 3:24 pace so I did a 1:42 half which I would have been pleased with on its own but I had to run another half, I stuck with pacer till 15 miles but then fell away I had 10 miles to go and I was in all sorts of pain I told myself I can run 1 mile so I did then I did the same again 10 times at the finish i thought I had finished at 26 miles but I had 0.2 miles to go. I was very pleased with my finish time of 3:38

I really enjoyed the event and York is a great place to visit

Below is a video of me finishing I took the phone out as I thought I was finishing but I was actually at 26 miles so the video is longer than I first intended
