Achieving at Abingdon: a surprise marathon personal best

My experience of marathons to date was of large crowds, booming music, large sponsor banners and it being a general chore to get to the main starting point of the race. Tilsley Park in Abingdon, Oxford was in complete contrast to the large marathons that I had attended (Brighton specifically comes to mind). On this cold, crisp and overcast morning there were few indications that anything was about to occur, if it weren’t for the signs and cones indicating road closures, you could have been forgiven for thinking a large track meet was going to take place.
