Eight weeks prior to the Lincoln to Sleaford marathon, Oliver Brookes and myself decided to attempt this challenging event. With a reasonable amount of core fitness as a base (gained from football and cycling etc), and eight weeks of running training, we were able to run the marathon in 4 hours 8 minutes. Not a great time in the grand scheme of things, but for two first time marathon runners running in a mainly off-road marathon, it felt like somewhat of a good achievement. Two days following the event both of us were able to play a full 90 min match of football with no endurance issues.
We both put the success of completing the marathon in a reasonable time and making a full recovery in a short space of time down to the fact that we used Orbana Healthy Energy. Thanks so much! Gareth and Oliver
