Well done James. I did Southampton marathon last year and the hills and the Itchen Bridge absolutely killed me off! Hardest marathon I’ve done. Really well done.
Great vid James (and great running). "39k in, really enjoyed this" - probably not something people often think during a marathon! Looks like a fun training run for the 100 miler 👍
🎊BRAVO James!!!🎉👏🏻👏🏻 Running a marathon just for fun, just for training!! Ohhhhh I am looking forward to getting to that level myself!!!!! One day, one day!!!! Was your heart pounding a little nevertheless?? Your easy pace is way faster than my flat-out-giving-it-my-all pace 😂😂 But that's only inspiration, as fortunately I'm not stupid enough to compare myself with others, only with my own steady progress!!!! I laughed at you wanting to stop at BurgerKing, for me it was for a giant cappuccino or venti latte!!! 😂
Thanks Bev! Yeah I was a great day. Always a bit of pre-race nerves and it was super busy at the start trying to get ready. Pace is all relative 🙂 I train with people at the club who run marathons at a pace I can barely sustain for 400 metres 😅 Definitely hard to avoid comparisons though! Haha definitely tempting having a burger king on the biggest/longest hill of the course! Not sure I could handle a coffee mid run 😂
Congrats! Even if you took the race "easy" it's always rewarding to get a medal at the end of a long run! Best of luck for the rest of your ultra training
Even if you took it easier than last time. Legs still took a heavy pounding so well done James!
Thanks Jasper! Yeah, definitely a lot of impact running a road marathon.
Fabulous running James and every marathoners dream - a negative split !! 🎉🏃🏻♂️🏁
Thanks Michael! Yeah it was a great day.

I did the 10km there because they advertised it as flat and fast.. Itchin bridge! lying b@st@rds! 😂
Thanks! Yeah the route is brutal. I'm not sure I'd enjoy racing the route but it was great for a long training run!
