The result Running this year’s Guernsey Marathon in 5hrs 4mins 24secs, knocking nine minutes off her time from last year
Last year Sue Robinson, 63, ran the Canaccord Guernsey Marathon after only six weeks of training. Sue, who lives near Portsmouth, wasn’t really prepared for the race. She started fading at 18 miles and had to run-walk the last six. Even though she ran an impressive time of 5hrs 13mins 20secs, she knew she could do this marathon faster, if she trained properly. Being disciplined with her training and with a brilliant support network around her, Sue managed to take a massive nine minutes off her time at the race this year.
