@jennifersophiee Sevilla and Barcelona are also good because they are early in the season so you can focus a bit more on running in winter months when cycling less naturally anyway, then move onto tri training. Valencia is the next big tick in the box but it’s always December so not great for me
@jennifersophiee Nah not at all firstly Barcelona marathon is amazing, secondly we have done loads of races abroad as an excuse to travel. Sevilla marathon is awesome too, lovely temperature, Rotterdam and Amsterdam are also fab. Plus run only races need way less luggage than tris 😂
@xcurlytwigx But only under your husbands guidance and with his permission of course 🙄🙄 probably needed his help using the internet computer box machine as well
@joannasbarlow@xcurlytwigx I just set myself little targets like - until mile 10 you can’t go faster than X - then until mile 20 you can’t faster than Y then (and genuinely said this) release the beast at 20 😂😂
Ps every marathon since has been far from that organised
@xcurlytwigx@joannasbarlow As it happens Manchester although not my fastest (PB at the time) was most definitely my strongest performance at marathon distance, stayed super restrained and had more to give at 20, very fond memories of that day
@joannasbarlow@xcurlytwigx Never forget there are people that only wish they were as bad at marathons as you are.
You’re not bad you just haven’t fulfilled your potential yet 🙃
@Paulfosterchef Sh*t on it Jackie I forgot…
We only opened in lockdown so only ever known 5% - adds 10p to a latte, think my customers will be ok with that 😬
