FLORENCE MARATHON

After running 2:29 in Frankfurt but suffering badly with a stitch, I decided to sneak off to Florence to give the marathon another go but try some new things to see if that helped my stomach and my stitch.

How was Florence as a race? Fast? Good for trying to hit qualifying times?

Hey buddy, what was your strategy with gels during a marathon?

[@TheWelshRunner]

Antonio Roca I took one gel before the start. I then had a gel at 6, 12, and 18 miles. Normally I really struggle to take them but I felt much better than normal thanks to the changes I made. Next time I might try and take an extra gel.

[@antonioroca9655]

The Welsh Runner Will do that! Racing at Valencia Marathon this weekend and I was just in doubt 🙌🏽🙌🏽
