So until I figure that out, had my first ever running race yesterday. A 5k to get used to things. I took up running in late 2023, and really struggled with instability and pain/ soreness for the first 3 months.

[image] JoeX: London Marathon on Sunday Nope I’m doing Manchester - it’s on the same day this year. If I ever do another marathon it will have to be London because that’s the first thing anyone asks when I say I’m doing a marathon. They always seem disappointed - but it is literally the exa…
