Yeah, I used the loo twice, stopped 3 times for my little Coke fix, stopped twice to eat my Freddos and walked/ran a bit and still got 3.45 so not bad. Wasn't a target race so wasn't that fussed. London's the real goal for me this year. Time to sleep now

Why did you stop to eat fred? cant you eat and run? Legs are a bit achy today, must have been those hills as they were fine after doing 2 flat marathons last weekend! D2D when are you planning on sorting out your marathon PB? I know you said somewhere you were going to have a go yesterday, not really an ideal course but we didnt know that til we started! Was it a lot harder than Gloucester? |

Hellen - Yes, I found it much harder than Gloucester. If I knew it was going to be like that, I wouldn't have run it to be honest, didn't really enjoy it and won't be doing it again unless I get some major hill training in. London will be my sub 3.30 race this year Just looked at stats from my Nike GPS (how accurate - it logged a 26.19 run!) - elevation rose to 951 feet! |

Thats a much more sensible place to go for a PB! I would still have run it knowing it was like that, I just like to go into things with full information. I think that marathons should be ranked in terms of difficulty level!! |

Yes, definitely. I think if I did do it again, I would at least know what to expect this time but I still rank it as the hardest race I've ever run! Do you have a PO10 Hellen? Here's mine: thepowerof10.info |
