Did you follow a specific training plan?( My first coming up soon and I am desperate for info.) I had a very warm and windy 5 miler today along the breakwater. Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
YorkshireLass Jun 2011 6:04pm, 16 Jun 2011 79 posts	Quote Pin YorkshireLass Aw, thanks Lo-Jo! It was tough - last 8 miles against the wind. I crossed the line saying I'd never do another, but I've changed my mind about that already! I sort of followed a training plan from Tom Holland's "Marathon Method" book, but did more mileage that he suggested. His plans only get up to 20 miles in training and I didn't feel that was enough - I got a 21 and a 23 mile run in in advance. Just make sure you get some decent long runs in, taper properly and don't set off too fast on the day. That was my mistake - I reckon I could have done under 4:30 if I'd not got swept up with everyone else's speed at the start
