A week on and I am asking myself why I didnt push on in those last 2 miles when 2 x 6:44s would have seen me go sub 3. However, on the day I know I gave it everything I had and its easy to ask the question afterwards

Chris May 2015 10:03am, 5 May 2015 308 posts	0 Chris I was in bed by 8.45 last night but couldn't get to sleep. Must have been the kebab I had with my fish and chips :o) Now I had said no more marathons this year so I can focus on halfs and smash London next year....this morning I'm thinking an autumn marathon attempt wouldn't be a bad idea to keep me in shape for next year.

Chris May 2015 2:43pm, 5 May 2015 309 posts	0 Chris I'm not sure the wife will approve though... I've noticed after each of my 4 marathons that I have really sore kidneys. I can run 20 milers without this but marathons seem to cause me a problem. Does anyone else suffer from something similar?
