← Snowdonia Marathon Eryri
2nd time for me running around Snowdon.
This marathon is a lot more difficult than your standard 26 miler, you will have to ascend (and then descend) 3 pretty sizable climbs on your way aroound the highest mountain in Wales.
It can be very easy to run a little too hard on the first half of the course, and I was definitely paying the price when I hit the third (and steepest) climb at around the 22nd mile mark. the next 2 miles were spent using a combination of moaning, swearing and hands on knees trying to get as much help as possible to push myself ever upwards.
The last descent back to Llanberis was sodden this year and I found myself sliding on my back through muddy fields on more than one occasion!
