It is just 100 days #LondonMarathon I absolutely love everything about @londonmarathon and am so happy to be running it for the 8th time. I ran London for the first time in 2011 for #savetherhino and this was my first ever marathon. I definitely underestimated the distance, something I havent done since. In 2013 I ran again, and this time I got my current marathon PB... what a fantastic experience once again. In 2014 and every year since I have paced for #RWPacers and have had the best experience whilst I have ran with thousands of different people. I cant possibly put into words how amazing it is to talk with, and run alongside so many people as they take on the #spiritoflondon I am so pleased to be back in 2019, who is with me? https://pickupthepacepaul.com/2018/04/22/london-marathon-2018/ If you are interested take a look at my blog from 2018. #marathon #marathontraining #wmmajors #runtoinspire #MedalMonday #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #instarunner #igrunners #runningcommunity #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #ukrunchat #runr #morningrunofficial #runnerclick #runningaddict #beatyesterday

Last year I had a fantastic time at the @nationalrunningshow and this year promises to be even better. I took part in meet the experts 1 on 1 sessions last year, and this year I've been asked to come and give a talk in the skills theatre about pacing. Who will be there? https://pickupthepacepaul.com/2018/01/24/the-national-running-show-2018/ 📷 @bensnapsstuff #runshow #nationalrunningshow #ukrunchat #runmummyrun #pickupthepace #wednesdaymotivation #wednesdaywisdom #funbus #runtoinspire #marathon #marathontraining #runr #runnersofinstagram #igrunners #beatyesterday #instarunners

What are you most looking forward to this spring? It feels like forever since I have taken part in an event. I am really looking forward to kick starting 2019 soon, well not soon enough. I thought I would show you my list of events that I'm pacing this spring. There may be room for more, but chances are of you are looking for a 1:40 - 1:45 #halfmarathon or want to jump on the sub4 #funbus then you might see me there. Who will be running with me? Which events are you doing? Or can you think of some fantastic events to fill some of my gaps?? #LondonMarathon #manchestermarathon #parismarathon #RnRLiverpool #wmmajors #beatyesterday #runhappy #marathon #marathontraining #RWPacers

So the plan to get faster could be argued is starting to take shape... I ran #parkrun 10 seconds quicker this week than last week... However I'm disappointed, the middle lap just felt hard, and couldnt push myself... Does anyone else ever feel that way? Even when you do well you beat yourself up because you know you can do better? #parkrunuk #dfyb #beatyesterday #brooksrunninguk #cepsportsuk #marathontraining #motivation #confidence #trainharderthanme #runtoinspire #runr #ukrunchat #pickupthepace

Who is making their way to #parkrun in the morning? I am tempted, very tempted, to let it all go and give it all I have. I will see how I feel, I'm full of excuses, but I want to improve and the only way I'm going to that is by stopping holding back... have you been reading my "so you want to run a marathon faster series" https://pickupthepacepaul.com/2018/12/30/how-to-run-a-marathon-faster-with-adam-holland/ I want to get faster for the marathon, and to do that I'm using #parkrunuk as a speed session in training. Why do you go to park run? Is it for the social element, to stay fit, because you love 5k, or part of your training? #runtoinspire #runr #runhappy #goaldigger #dfyb #beatyesterday #runfast #trainharderthanme #marathontraining #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #ukrunchat #instarunners #instarunner

With 2019 targets all set, many are looking to achieve a new personal best this year. There are so many factors that will help you to hit your PB. Much of the work comes from the preparation in training, but on race day one key area is getting your pace right... https://pickupthepacepaul.com/2017/12/06/getting-your-pace-right/ It's so easy to get it wrong, but getting your pace right will help you not only hit your target, but have fun whilst doing it. Take a look at my blog for my tips on getting your pace right, and let me know about examples that you have got your pace right, or wrong.... Hopefully I will see you at an event this year, will we be spending some miles together? #pacer #runrunrun #marathontraining #ukrunchat #ealinghalfmarathon #LondonMarathon #limassolmarathon #manchestermarathon #parismarathon #RnRLiverpool #berlinmarathon #chicagomarathon #amsterdammarathon #beatyesterday #runhappy #goaldigger #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #ilovetorun #irunthisbody #runr #mondaymotivation #runningcommunity #runningmotivation #strava
