Well done, James - great video, love some the camera-work! Dont sweat the result - theres always another chance. I have tanked on both my last two, for me because I forgot to eat enough... Butt I hopefully now have more self-control to remember to eat every 30 mins! Doing my first trail marathon (1,100m of climb) in 10 days! Eek!
Thank you Julian, I think you’re right, when I traveled out there on Friday, I didn’t eat much at all, and supposedly that’s the most important time to fuel (2 days prior). However there’s a lot of things that caused me to hit the wall, so can’t blame it all on that, but like you said, just gives me a good excuse to smash it next time!! Good luck in your trail marathon, I saw your last video, and you were so calm when you’re watch died, I would have been livid 😂
Thanks Paul, it was tough out there, and even though not the time I expected, felt like more of an achievement than when I got my pb at goodwood in april. Thanks for watching.
i wouldn't be to upset with yourself mate. it looked like a very hot day out there. i once did a nighttime race in Bilbao and it was a two-lap course. i decided to stop the race halfway as it wasn't for me. keep pushing buddy
Cheers Bradley, makes me feel better to know that others also can hit the wall so early on too. Must have something to do with the two laps (psychologically). You need the bad races, to appreciate the good ones I suppose.
Well done James, looked like tricky conditions so congrats for battling through and getting it done. Perfect way to end with a beer just the other end of the line too!
Good luck in Majorca Charlie, there are a few hills when you enter the old town, so probably about 10k in. Hope it all goes well and it’s not too hot 🥵
Looked like a nice marathon to run. Well done on finishing. Next time you will be sure to get more training done hopefully. Where did you run your marathon Pb?
It was a lovely location and did enjoy it (retrospectively). Looking forward to redeeming myself with a proper trading plan next time. I got my PB at goodwood race circuit about 7months ago (11 laps).

Best wishes to you and your channel.
Thank you, and to you too. 👍
Great run James! It looked tough out there. It also looked pretty warm mate. Huge kudos for pushing through and getting it done! 😎🤘
Cheers Ben, it was tough, but I probably made it that way by not putting enough training in.
You live and learn. 😅
Pushing through the heat is always a win James! Well done to stay strong and reach that finish line!

@@Ijustkeptrunning totally agree. Sometimes having bad races helps in the long run. I hope your legs are feeling ok now and you enjoyed the sun.

Cheers Ben, yes that beer was very welcomed and didn’t last long 😂.
Running this in a few weeks, how would you judge the elevation?

Sorry to hear that it wasn't your day, but congrats on pushing through when you could have thrown in the towel at 30km!
Thank you Chloe, It was definitely a mental battle out there !! 😅
