Attention WRC Spring Marathoners!
26 March 2018 - By Scott Darney
The Witham and Braintree Times would like to put a piece together showcasing our spring marathon runners.
If you are running a spring marathon, be it London, Manchester, Brighton, Halstead or any other location in the U.K. or abroad over April and May, please can you respond to this post below or drop me an email at scottmd_uk@yahoo.co.uk and answer the following questions:
Planned Marathon : (location & date)
No. Of previous marathons :
Marathon Goal : (this can be anything from a goal time, a qualification time ie Boston or London GFA, simply to finish, to have a great experience, to raise money for charity, to set a new PB etc but it does not have to be time related as running is not only about times!)
Feel free to add anything else relevant and add any photos that are also relevant but please keep it short so we can fit everyone in!
Thanks
Scott

I will be doing Brighton Marathon which will be my first one. I just wanted to say that I had done at least one challenging thing in my life. hope to finish at least by 51/2 hours. I have had some fantastic help from lots of club members to help me get to marathon day, three in particular, Karen Flowers, Sue Shippey and David Jobling.

I am doing the Virgin London Marathon next month, 22nd April, and this is my first ever! I had originally hoped to achieve a sub 5 hour time, but a knee injury has forced to me to reconsider so looking at 5.45 – 6 hours. I intend to fully enjoy the day, the experience and the crowds.
I am running for Barnardo’s, a Charity close to my heart.

2.45 although setting a new senior club record of under 2.44:28 would be a bonus
Correction 2.44:24*
