I don’t run well in the heat, but I knew that I could beat the halfway cut-off time of 2 hours 30 minutes and just hoped I’d then be able to hang on until the finish.

Chislehurst Commons Trail Marathon: 6th August 2017

There was enough variation in the surroundings to ensure that repeating the route each time wasn't boring. My time was 4:45:37.
