This was the first marathon for Ben Whitehead. His approach was to take it steady right from the start and to try and maintain that pace throughout the race. His plan worked to perfection with his pace in the second half of the race almost matching that of the first. His feelings on finishing was that he found it easy and much easier than doing the full Three Peaks! He would now like to have another go, but next time to target a time below 2:30. Ben used his run to raise money for prostate cancer.
