3 more weeks…

It seems like only yesterday we were doing our 6-month countdown, yet here we are with Sunday 10th October only three weeks away…

We continue to enjoy seeing you tag us in your training posts – we’ve seen a lot more discussion around tapering and recovery strategies which has been interesting to read through – and it looks like all of you are in a great place to cross that start line with us.

We’ve rounded up our favourite social media posts for this week – keep using #ManchesterMarathon to feature in future updates!

Starting with our Jog Division first…

THE JOG DIVISION

Kim ran one of our favourite scenic routes – St Ives to Lane’s End – and took full advantage of the lovely Cornish sun
