Race Report

[Pippa49]

Well what can I say. I had a good race until 7miles when I started to struggle due to lack of food yesterday but the support was fantastic all the way round even from the marathon runners. The medal is fab. The weather behaved itself although it did start spitting before the race started and I thought oh no but it stopped and the sun came out and it was a lovely day for a run. Personally I found it harder than a half marathon but that may have been an after effect of yesterday. I had a great time despite this. Thank you Yorkshire Marathon and the people of Yorkshire and all the other runners.

Well done! Brilliant that you enjoyed it after all your deliberations - sounds like you made the right call. Now to enjoy a well earned day off 😍

[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Yes I don't think I could have done the marathon even if I had wanted not after Saturday. It was hard work from 7miles due to lack of energy so 2 6.2miles would have finished me off lol

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Well done Pippa. Sounds like the right call, but 10 miles is no mean feat (as my legs can vouch this morning😂)

[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Thank you. Yes it is 5K short of a half marathon and my legs feel like I have done one lol.

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Pippa49]

I know 😫 I was one of the Great South bunch yesterday and am definitely feeling it in my hips!

[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Hope you feel better tomorrow. I am back at work Wednesday just for one day (only work Monday to Wednesday). Won't running until Thursday.

Well done Pippa! You must have finished before the torrential rain case down! Congratulations and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Thanks Tasha99. Yes it started raining as I got off the bus at the train station. Got soaked as didn't have my regatta coat just my Cardiff Half marathon jacket which is now dry. How did you get on?

[Tasha99 Marathon in reply to Pippa49]

It was a toughie Pippa - many hills I wasn’t prepared for. My legs weren’t in it from the start. I swore a lot. But I did it 👍🏽

[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Yes you did. Congratulations. Xx

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Well done Pippa. You definitely made the right decision. 🏃‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻

[Pippa49 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks. Considering how hard I found the 10 mile race yesterday as a result of not being 100% I am not sure if I want to do the marathon next year even though I have complimentary free entry but I feel ungrateful if I don't do it. Not sure what to do atm?

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Pippa49]

Well after my 10 mile yesterday I know I don’t even want to attempt a HM. I’m sure they will convert your free entry to the 10 mile again if you decide not to go further. We all have our level and my policy is to only go as far as I am enjoying it. Otherwise why are we doing it?
