#168: The Manchester marathon full recap!

About this episode

Alan Ladd shares his experiences and insights from his third Manchester marathon, offering tips for future marathon runners.

Today's episode is the full story of my third Manchester marathon, 18th overall and first for NI Masters. I learn something new in every race I do and this one was no different. There were definitely a few more ups and downs than expected and I go through both Manchester as a race and my own experience. I also offer thoughts and takeaways for anyone racing a marathon soon or thinking of doing Manchester in the future.
