JuLY 2019

Dartford Midnight Marathon

3/4 of my crazy charity marathon series, which happened to clash with fathers day (Whoops!)

In brief its 8 laps around a 2 lakes within a housing estate! Sounds boring???

It was far from it as the light changes with every lap, also its ran in kind of a figure of 8 so you are never running in the same direction for long made it interesting indeed!

The course surface is very much like West Park at Wolverhampton and only has 27ft of elevation per lap! 

Pb course I feel with the right training, the Ultra was only 2 more laps and had 8 competitors. If id done the Ultra I could of come third considering my pace, but oh well I wasn't entered into that so tough!

I managed to come 38th from 97 in the marathon so a very happy man!

**Mental note - Do not drive down on your motorbike, do Marathon, get very little sleep at hotel & drive back**
