Mark completed his first half marathon of his challenge at Milton Keynes yesterday (7th March) in 1:38:02, a personal best time. A crisp sunny morning greeted around 3500 runners to the MK Festival of Running and the crowds were on hand to cheer runners across the finish line.
Mark said, "I am delighted to have completed the first part of this challenge and was going to take it easy to get around but at mile ten I knew a good time was on so I started racing. The course was relatively flat except a few undulations in the last mile. I'm looking forward to Silverstone next week." In addition to Silverstone, Mark is running at Bisham Abbey and Bournemouth to complete four half marathons in four weekends in March.
