I had a lower back / hip flexor / all the way down to the knee spasm after my last marathon that was NOT fun.

My target race is the Manchester Marathon – third mara in and I’m finding it easier to adapt back to long runs, not feeling so hungry or tired after – interesting to watch my faster friend find the longer distances hard as she’s doing them for the first time (but she’s doing really well).

Then I have the Great Birmingham 10k, which I’m doing with a friend who’s just started running. I need to find a way to help her motivate herself in her training.

THEN I have the Great Sutton Fun Run, a race I say I don’t like, but have done about 6 times. Last time, 2016, brother-in-law beat me by 14 seconds. I’m hoping my hill and endurance training for the marathon will sustain me through trying to get some speed in for the end of May for this 8.5 miler.

Go well!
