This weekend, March Athletics Club runner Steve Beasley made his marathon debut competing in the Stevenage marathon.
The two-lapped road marathon took place in difficult conditions with strong winds making it a particularly challenging race, however Steve performed excellently nonetheless.
He finished the 26.2 mile run in 3:11:17 - an amazing effort.
