On a cold and icy morning on Sunday at the Gloucester Marathon David Stephens ran a new PB, finishing in 82nd place in 03:36:30. Dave was setting out for a 3 hour 30 minute marathon and set off at around 8 minute mile pace for the 1st 16/17 miles but then slowed down the pace for the final few miles finding it difficult as he ran the distance mainly by himself. Dave still managed to achieve a PB by 8 minutes and 8 seconds which he previously set last year in Manchester. 287 ran.
