There’s lots of ways to predict your marathon time. Here’s how I do it based on a mix of experience as an athlete & coach, knowledge of training principles, practical insight into how training translates into races & a little bit of gut feeling! runningjo.co.uk/how-to-predict…

Goodwood 20 mile race, run as training run. 5 miles easy, 10 miles GMP, 5 miles easy. Hit my target pace, but can I manage it for 26 miles? We’ll see! Now for the taper #marathontraining

When a surprise card drops through your letterbox! Praise indeed from my coach ☺️ thanks Jo Wilkinson for helping me achieve my goals!
