Race Recap – Kingston Breakfast Run
So my final 20-miler of this London Marathon training cycle, coincided nicely with the Kingston Breakfast Run 20 mile event, and as I was staying in the London area the same weekend, it seemed rude not to enter! The event…
IAAF Cardiff University World Half Marathon Championships.
