Karl HodgsonHOST
Yeah.
Steven WillettsHOST
Yeah.
Steven WillettsHOST
'Cause if you do Manchester Marathon, for example, like, you can have a dry day, a wet day, a windy day.
Steven WillettsHOST
There's not gonna be that much difference, is there?
ElleHOST
Where you might say, okay, maybe not sensible to go off at the A-goal pace.
ElleHOST
And if I think back to Manchester Marathon last year, My A goal was to run around 247, I would say.
ElleHOST
But maybe more realistically, I just wanted to get under 250.
ElleHOST
On that day, it was very, very hot.
48 MINS LATER
ElleHOST
age grade that's a good goal yeah
RusselHOST
yeah i
ElleHOST
would love to be in a position where i could go to something like not a major but like something like manchester marathon and say i'm competing for the win yeah
RusselHOST
that would be cool yeah or even and again like i'm probably thinking about this because i'm a few more years down the line but like age categories you know can i be england masters or can i be uk masters or you know whatever that looks like
Katie DownHOST
So you've just finished your Iron Man and you've decided that your next big goal is going to be...
James DownHOST
Manchester Marathon 2027.
Katie DownHOST
Manchester Marathon.
Katie DownHOST
So that's next April.
Katie DownHOST
What made you decide to go back to the marathon distance?
James DownHOST
I must admit when I finished Milton Keynes I was quite annoyed that I had another marathon booked already and I had to do another one.
James DownHOST
but it was probably a good thing I had a really good summer training block obviously I think we all know I prefer to train in the summer I did however injure my ankle the week before which was not a good omen on the Friday in Berlin when I went to the expo to pick up my number I went to the KT tape stand and they taped my ankle up for me and whilst they were doing that the guy was like are you sure you should be running this is quite swollen and Anyway, I did run and I ran a negative split and I ran a PB of 3.11. And whilst I know that wasn't the best I could give due to my ankle, I also learned a little bit about myself and a little bit about going off easier in the marathon.
James DownHOST
And I then had Manchester Marathon booked for next April.
Lee FawkesGUEST
So I said to him, I just wanted to improve my running.
Lee FawkesGUEST
So I'd just done the Manchester Marathon.
Lee FawkesGUEST
When I'd contacted Scott, I think I'd done that in like three years, 21.
Lee FawkesGUEST
So I said to him, I was just wanting a faster marathon.
Esther ManitoHOST
But hated it and said she'd never do it again.
Esther ManitoHOST
We can reminisce about when she was waiting for her cousin after the Manchester Marathon.
Esther ManitoHOST
I just cried and fell into her arms like she'd been waiting for me.
Esther ManitoHOST
Aww.
Lee BofkinGUEST
Valentino gives the artwork, says, go and paint this, and it's on our real estate.
Lee BofkinGUEST
over time increasingly clients would start using us i'll call a feasibility partner they would give us there was instead of go and do this they would say hey can you do this can you have chips exploding out of my wall can you make my wall smell of strawberries and so you say yes because i don't have an advertising background i'll get to my background promise um we said yes to lots of different projects and and learned lots of different techniques as a result and so increasingly because we did all these fun things projection mapping on murals and um uv paint and uv lighting and Over time, brands would say, hey, what would you do for us? So we spoke to Adidas for the Manchester Marathon last year.
Lee BofkinGUEST
We said, we've got a real estate team.
Lee BofkinGUEST
