🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Manchester AJ Bell 1/2’ 🌧️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

With an 8am start, we were kindly greeted with overcast and slightly cooler weather than the previous weeks’ heatwave. 🌤️ The Manchester AJ Bell isn’t a pure PB course with 100 metres of ascent and, on the day, a strong headwind in numerous stretches. 🌬️

However, both Matty and Lucinda showed their fitness and muscular endurance over the 13.1 miles, making the most of the favourable temperatures and supportive crowds, with both landing exceptional PBs! 🎉👏

It’s been a great start to 2026 for both athletes, and I can’t wait to see how they perform with other races incoming! 🏅✨
