Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I also use a Garmin but taking advice from seasoned pro's, I'm turning off most the functions. All I want to see on screen is my time. I'm also going to use KM markers as the guide (rather than miles) as this is apparently a lot easier (they tend to come and go a lot quicker).

I'll try and remember the key splits but not get too caught up with it all. 10km, 15km, 20k, 30km, that kind of thing..

They're mile markers on the course, do they have KM markers as well?

The thing to bear in mind is that NY is a tough course!

Whilst I would love to go sub 3:30 and will be aiming for it, I am not going to get hung up on it as I want to enjoy this marathon :)

Contro , I totally agree as I've been told this several times by various people, but I'm not going to say I won't try because it's a tough course.

If I do sub 3 then brilliant, if I don't, then hey! at least I tried.
...and there's always another marathon :)
