Marlow Half Marathon Result
Congratulations to Nik Roberts who ran the Marlow Half Marathon Sunday 7th November on a course that is hilly. Comments found on Runners World website include:
- “Hills that humble the best of legs. Downhills to get your quads burning and uphills to challenge your mettle! “
- “Undulating country roads with great views across open fields for the next 11 miles, with the challenge of a couple of really steep ascents and descents to sap your legs and remove any pressure to try for a PB. “
- “Very demanding race. I know it was going to be hilly, but it seemd that the course was 75% uphill – the downward sections were steep and wrecked my knees. “
Nik’s comments?
“For completeness of the public record, not because I’m proud of the time…I completed Marlow Half yesterday in 2:18:01 (call it 2 hours?). Bloody hard work.
I’m about to sign up for Stratford marathon next year, so will need to do some real training at some point (probably about 3 weeks before the event, on current form).”
(Webmaster comments: reckon 4 weeks would do it.)
