Mostly running on the flat in the mountains.

@NicJaJo I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s such an awful feeling as they are really such a huge part of the family.

@Warrendonnelly It was a warm one. Thankfully I was at the track by 9am but it was getting pretty warm by the end of the session. It really is a beautiful place to run. 😃

Saturday morning track session. 400s. What a stunning morning for it.

@HybridSthenics The scenery is glorious and I love 400s! It’s a great distance - short and quick. 800s are so much tougher for me. Give me 400s any day!

Sunday morning trail run.

@tomwilliams1974 @d_robinson71 It’s a great race and a stunningly beautiful course. I ran it last year. It’s also quite rolling - Lausanne is not a flat place! - but without being too much. Really well organised. You should really enjoy it (well as much as you can ever enjoy a full gas marathon!!).

@millsy262 Well done!

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@millsy262 @ComradesRace Always go with the fast shoes! Have a great race.

@SMillbery @Shiwon_NZ_Ao It’s definitely an 80s socks kind of vibe.

Miracles do happen! A race photo where I’m not gurning (or looking faintly disturbed) and I’m actually looking at the camera. 😃🕺🏼

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@Shiwon_NZ_Ao Thank you. Fluorescent colours are where it’s at! I just needed pink leg warmers to complete the look.

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@SashaBirkin Thank you! My race photos are usually awful so this one made a nice change. :-)

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@TrissIsHotter That’s definitely doable. Berlin is a great course - as quick as it gets. Three potentially easy wins to boost your time are to get your fuelling sorted, don’t go out too hard and get a good pair of shoes. Obviously consistent training helps as well!

Marathon des Terroirs du Valais - 2:59:32. 13th overall. 1st in AG.

2 road marathons in 4 weeks is hard work, especially after setting a PB (2:56:41) 4 weeks ago. Another sub-three for the collection - seven in two and a half years now. 48 years old when I ran my first one. 😃

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@ogeerunner Thanks very much Allan. Road marathons are hard but I’ve really enjoyed running a few of them over the last couple of years. Such a tough distance and so tricky to get right. I need to use what little speed I have while I’ve still got it!!

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@LapChallenge Thanks very much Graeme. Really happy with that result in the circumstances. I definitely need to give my legs a break now though!

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@victoria_stears Thank you! Really happy with that. I could definitely feel the previous marathon in my legs for the last few Ks though!

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@Warrendonnelly Thank you very much. Really happy with that. 😃

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@HikingSchweiz Thank you very much!

[Jon Fielden @JonFielden]

@TrissIsHotter I’m 51 now. I ran my first marathon in 2008 in four hours fifteen minutes. My first sub-three was 2:58:39 in 2022. Between 2010 and 2022 I only ran 2 road marathons but I ran a few ultras over that period.
