The greatest marathon ever run.
Can’t decide if it’s apt or ironic that this hyper commercialised marathon week culminated in a record setting race. Either way, glad to be there to see it all - from the sharp end to the long tail, near sixty thousand souls putting it all out there will never fail to impress and inspire me.
Found myself more motivated than ever to witness and be present, but maybe the least motivated I’ve ever been to post about it? Can’t explain that one. Still, some day out!
Peckham Pacers joined forces with @puma.uk to take on the streets of Manchester, for the Manchester Half Marathon on Sunday.
Carbs were consumed, energy was high and PB's were smashed.
Manchester did not disappoint.

The Pacers 5000!
6 seeded races across the evening, plus pizza, beers, ice cream, massages, a live DJ, shoe trials… what more could you want?
Energy on the night was electric and we saw not only a huge amount of PBs but a national record fall for the Faroe Islands! 🇫🇴🔥
Big ups to @hoka_eu for all their support putting this together!
Race a Mile.
Some evening put on by @runlimited.ldn and @nikerunning last night.
Great to see so many athletes take to the track to race - some for the first time ever.
PBs aplenty, from sub 9:00s in race 1 through to a fantastic 5:07 in the final race of the evening.
Few distances better than the mile for an engaging viewing experience!
THE PACERS 5000!
And what a night!
Under the blazing sun, runners took on a 5000m races at Southwark Park. Despite the heat PB's were plentiful.
Big ups to the main sponsor @saucony_eu for helping us put on the event and giving runners the option to test out the brand new Endorphin Speed 5.
There was big energy around the track all night and we can't wait to be back to do it all again.

Parks n' Pints! 🌳🍻
50 runners, 5 checkpoints and 25 poker hands.♠️
Last night we teamed up with @hoka_eu to tear around the streets and greens of South East London in the new Cielo 2's.
Runners paired up, route planned and collected cards at each checkpoint. Along with the fastest team prizes, the team with the best poker hand walked away with goodies from Hoka.
Big thanks to all the volunteers that helped, @ekobrewery for hosting us and of course as always @bfarbr for the snaps.
Round 2 is in the works...
