Abigail pushed aside her nerves and her determined mindset led to an amazing 20 miles
Long run complete ended up doing 20 miles! 🏃♀ As soon as I set of anxiety went & determination kicked. 🙌🏻 Still unsure about how I am going to add another 6 miles on to that to compete a marathon but I have 8 weeks to master that! 🤣#HappyMonday #ukrunchat #manchestermarathon pic.twitter.com/1P8dtkh50Z

Don’t worry Dan, the rest of us would love to hear how your training is going!
Customer just made the fatal error of asking me how my marathon training is going…
