Jo and Alice clocked up a massive achievement this week when they completed an incredible 13.1 miles without stopping for the very first time. That’s well ahead of schedule!

Robyn has some decent Manchester Marathon experience under her belt, however the planned celebrations didn’t quite go as expected last time!
