Useful vid. Running this on saturday (my first marathon) and wanted to get an idea of what it was like, couldnt have asked for a more concise and encouragong video! Doesnt look half as bad as i expected when i signed up for a 'trail marathon', most of it seems to be gravel paths which gives me some hope of not being too embarassingly slow haha
@@Ed-xv5jl large open spaces, gravel and mud and some hills. Perfect for first trail marathon. The race director is a real gent. Enjoy, and save something for the last 6 miles
Got any tips on the Salisbury plan marathon I’ve entered it for this year, you recommend a trainer that’s good in the wet & mud or something well balanced.
I used Hoka torrents as most of the trail is hard packed gravel or tarmac. There was a bit of mud but, I was glad I didn’t use trail shoes designed for mud. They would have really hurt my feet on the hard ground where there wasn’t mud.
