So I’ve got an abnormal heart, which was nice…. Marathon Training – Day 66

If you’ve been following my posts at all you’ll probably have read that I was sent for an ECG when I decided to run the marathon just to check everything was ok and to get base levels for my training purposes. Went to Vincent’s, got that done, everyone is happy. Then I got a message [...]
