Nice one Max! I've never managed more than 10K and i need some seriously pittoresque countryside for that to happen, like the Peak district. Got another one planned?
It took me a while to build up to marathon distance, and long runs were always made better by beautiful views. My first 10K was along a lake in Michigan!
Traveling so much this year has made proper training difficult, but once I settle back down in NYC sometime in 2025 I’ll want to do this race again. It really kicked my ass the first time, and I’d like to get a better time next time. The Paris marathon is also on my bucket list, but not sure when I’ll have time for that
Huge congrats! Been there with the thigh chaffing brother, vaseline does the job, definitely feels wrong when you're lubing the area up but can't argue with the results. Vaseline also does the job for any wetsuit chaffing too. Vaseline, sponsor me? I trying to remember when I last ran a marathon and I think it's now been over 4 years since I ran one (which seems like a crazy lull when I think about it) but I have in mind a little comeback race in June 2024 hopefully. Still loving these little posts of yours.
Been wanting to do this one for quite a while now but always had something going one at the same time, but this year its looking highly likely that I will be able to run it: https://www.trail-yeu.fr/

Thanks ❤️ Yeah vaseline is a must, but I recommend Body Glide too! What race are you looking at?

That looks lovely! I did some hill running in Reunion once, nothing serious though. - ever thought about those races? some real nutcases there!
Yipee
