Good luck with your marathon. Sounds like you are well prepared. This video is timely for me as my first ever marathon for this 60 year old is in 3 weeks.
Wishing you the best of luck Dawn. Glad to hear the legs have freshened up on your taper session. I’ve done a similar run in the last week before race day and still felt sluggish but managed a good run, so you’re one step ahead already. I’m sure John will do a great job of supporting you and looking forward to seeing your results and video. Go Dawn 🙌
Good Luck Dawn, you’ve done the hard work, you’re in excellent shape, do like what some of the pro you tube runners I see on here do, few days before go over in your mind all the long runs & hard training you’ve put in, plus don’t give a stuff about what Anyone thinks, no expectations, no pressure haha, enjoy the gift & the opportunity, let’s gooo! have fun ✅🥳🌲🏃🏽♂️👏🏃🏽♀️💃
Well done Dawn, good luck for Sunday, lived in Chester all my life so know most places, best place to park will be the retail park on Sealand Road, you can walk straight up to the racecourse from there it’s about 1/2 a mile, sure you’ll smash it👍
Good luck for Sunday, I’ll be marshalling between miles 2 and 3 so will look out for you and give you a cheer. I’m part of the core volunteers at Chester parkrun so a bit disappointed you’re not coming, but Delamere is a nice course.
Thank you. We're just a couple of miles from Delemere, so it makes sense to maximise sleep doing this one. We did enjoy Chester, though, when we did it. Thank you also for marshalling! 🙂
Have a fantastic race Dawn, You've trained really well for it now go & smash it💥 I hope I bump into you & John at Chester. I'm staying at the hotel on the racecourse so not far to the start. I'm hoping just to dip under 4 hours if I can but not confident on the bumpy course🤞
Good luck Dawn ! Hope you do you well. Chester 21 and 22 my last ones there. I'm quite fond of it and pondered going back this year but thought the better of it with the December one coming up. John, good luck tracking her down, maybe get the push bike out 😃
Good luck dawn you've worked so hard for this all season. I love your race day tips and preparation advice. Xx. Are you sporting your crop top again ? Xx
@tworunningbrooms it went this way with me since 2016 - Marathon , Metric Marathon Half Marathon -lockdown - and now only 10kms as my maximum , could be just 5miles and parkruns soon - but I keep plodding on !!!
I DNF, Steve. They've made a mistake with stats. I only crossed two points 10k and 20k.. However, I did walk around, not over the 30k mat, so maybe it picked it up. I certainly didn't go near the 40k or finish mat. I'll drop them a message.

Already in Chester preparing for my 3rd marathon on Sunday and getting rather nervous! Going for sub 4 if I can manage it. Good luck!
Good luck yourself, and I hope the marathon gods are on your side! 🙂
Sounds like a fantastic bit of volume. Hyped for you! Enjoy!
Thank you. 👍
Good luck dawn you've worked so hard for this all season. I love your race day tips and preparation advice. Xx. Are you sporting your crop top again ? Xx
Thanks 👍 No, vest this time. 🙂
Hope all goes well on Sunday - Have a great weekend - I really enjoyed the Chester Metric Marathon a few years ago -
Thanks. The metric marathon is maybe a future race. 🙂
@tworunningbrooms it went this way with me since 2016 - Marathon , Metric Marathon Half Marathon -lockdown - and now only 10kms as my maximum , could be just 5miles and parkruns soon - but I keep plodding on !!!
Good luck, Dawn! Got a good feeling for Sunday!
Thanks. I hope so...🙏
@@tworunningbrooms I have Eton marathon on Sunday, but fighting the lurgy! 😔
Have a great race, Dawn 💪🏃♀️
Thank you 🤞🙏
My first time at Chester this weekend.
Good luck to you. Say hello if you spot us. 🙂
I'm confused. Results state you were a DNF yet stats show you were the 1st V60.
I DNF, Steve. They've made a mistake with stats. I only crossed two points 10k and 20k.. However, I did walk around, not over the 30k mat, so maybe it picked it up. I certainly didn't go near the 40k or finish mat. I'll drop them a message.
@@tworunningbrooms thanks for the update. You're a star!
