If you thought that all road race Championship races were flat, fast affairs – think again! Although most certainly not in the league of the Skye half the day before, the Dunfermline race had its fair share of hills, twists & turns.

Sunday’s race was both great and awful at the same time. It was three years since my first marathon and I’d forgotten what a slog it feels from 18 miles on when every single part of you just wants to stop. But the support on the course was amazing. Given the heat and the fact…
