2-Month Klaxon Has Sounded
The 2-month klaxon has sounded! Sunday 10th October looms ever closer so we are doing our weekly check in to see how you are all getting on with your training and how powerful those legs are feeling. We’ve seen all types of weather this week – from sunshine to rain – so we hope you haven’t been deterred from any of those long runs.
Keep using #ManchesterMarathon to feature in future updates!
Starting with our Jog Division first…

Pam avoided the rain and challenged herself to a 15 mile run on the treadmill instead
Ran over 15 miles on the T.M. More miles for my marathon training. Nice day here after all the rain and thunder.
Have a lovely day everyone. ❤️ #fitness #running #londonmarathon #manchestermarathon pic.twitter.com/Y1ZEhO8Jxu— Pam ❤️ (A/3 please) (@Pam03847372) August 10, 2021

Hannah braved the rain and took on a 15mile training run, racking up those miles!
Just over 15 miles today in the rain, not my most favourite run ever but it’s done & I can tick it off the training plan. This sign felt appropriate as we regularly asked ‘wtf is wrong with us, wtf are we doing??’ #manchestermarathon #marathontraining #rainandshortsequalschaffing pic.twitter.com/fa70DLwIub
