Marathon training starts

Sam, Tracy Park, Hazel Davies and Duncan Lightfoot are hard at marathon training. Hazel will be racing her first Marathon in early March and has chosen the Barcelona Marathon. Duncan is also doing his first Marathon which will be Brighton in April. Tracy and Sam are doing the London Marathon on Saturday 25th April, both have a 'Championship Start' which means they'll be off very near the front and not get caught up in the crowds - so no excuses! Hazel, Sam and Tracy train together on Thursdays at 10.45am.

A thought to help with motivation...

  • Choose a small goal for today or this week and achieve some success - be specific and give yourself a timescale.
  • Having small achievable goals will help you to reach those larger goals that may at present seem unachievable. Good luck!
