A Treadmill Marathon and a new PB

An unusual marathon this week. It was done on a treadmill, so a huge thanks to Max, Jo and Rob at Pure Gym Manchester.

It wasn't nearly as tough as i imagined it was going to be. The time absolutely flew past, which is no surprise considering i absolutely smashed my previous PB by over 20mins.


My new PB is 4 hours 29 minutes and 40 seconds.

The main reason I think for this new record is that there in no wind resistance and the "course" was flat for the entire 26.22 miles. I had my own energy drink in bottles rather than grabbing a cup from a local scout group. Just lots of little things that added up to a great run.

Even now my legs do not feel nearly as sore as they have done after other marathons. I can see this becoming a bit of a "thing" and i might approach other gyms with a view to running with them as well
