- The big day is nearly upon us. In this video we review how the last 14 weeks of training have gone, the highs and lows, and look forward to what that tells us about how we might perform at the Manchester Marathon 2024.
We also discuss how we are going to approach the race, what kit we shall be wearing and how we are going to fuel in-race.
This is a comeback marathon for John, a former 2:42 runner, whilst Dawn is competing to qualify for the England Masters marathon team.

Catching up on everyone's content. I really appreciate the insight into your training and preparation. Cheers, both!
Good luck, see you on the start line :)
And the finish we hope 😉
All the very best, you're both heroes! Absolutely brilliant efforts in training and I really look forward to seeing your times! RESPECT! 🙂
Very kind word thank you.
Wishing you both the best of luck, hope you have a great race/run and achieve the times you want 💪💪👍
Thank you. 👍
Thanks Dawn and John.
I took a break from social media and You Tube but have nipped back on to wish you both all the luck in the world at Manchester.
You’re both incredible runners and I am in no doubt that you will hit your targets.
Have a brilliant weekend.
Thanks Colin. Hope you're well and back posting regularly soon.
I have been doing some great training sessions throughout this block, all the best for your marathon on the weekend, sending lucky vibes your way 🍀🍀
Thanks you two.
I have a feeling that having had a less than ideal marathon last year, you will be hyper focused on executing everything really well this time around, John. Fingers crossed for you both 🤞🤞
Yes I'm feeling very happy and super positive.
Good luck to you both!!! It has been following your training block.
Thanks Jay
Best of luck, I am travelling up to Manchester today from Brighton for the Marathon on Sunday so may spot you.
Yes we'll be in our club vests. Hope the trip went smoothly.
What a coincidence, I'm also running in the Pro 3s at Manchester & nutrition wise the same big bowl of porridge, OTE Super Carb drink & OTE Super gels. Im off 30&20 mins behind you guys so don't think I'll see you on the day. So have a great race John & Dawn. You will absolutely smash it💥
Have a good one Kev.
Best of luck to you both 🤞👍
Thanks Matthew
Best of luck to you to you both John! Your running shoe selection is top-notch, just like the ones I used for the Brighton race. I hope you have a fantastic experience and that the weather is on your side. Take care and make sure to savor every moment out there.
Yes we're intending it as a victory lap of the training. Yep love the Pro 3s. Just something different to the Nikes and more for the non-elite runner I think
Really looking forward to seeing how you both do! I have an OTE code if you would like for the future - just let me know and I can email you. I do like the super gels - easy on the stomach.
Is the history question to do with rats? I only know that because a couple have appeared in my back garden and, through my research on how to "relocate" them, I went down a Wikipedia rabbit (rat) hole!
Thanks Ian. I do have a code already.
Yes rats and C14th. You're nearly there...
Enjoy the run. Being experienced runners, do you still get nervous or just take it your stride?
Mild nerves which are easy to focus as positives. I (John) take the attitude that it is just another race. You execute as best you can given how you feel and what the conditions are like. Beat as many people as you can. The time will then be what it is on the day.
When it used to be 'I should run this time' that created unwanted pressure as it became an extended time trial with narrow margins of success and failure. Now it's a race it's a case of going in with positive belief.
