Great going HOD especially soon after London I looked at your forecast for Salzburg and it looked like it was going to be a scorcher.

To be fair it was like 18c to start by the time I got to 9/10 more like 20c then around 22c-24c for the finish had a small amount of heat stroke was sick at the end. Walked the water stations plus there was a fair amount of shade especially Mile 2-6 through wooded area. It's a great marathon I'll definitely be back

Well done Hod, especially so soon after London. If Salzburg is good for a sub 3.30 how come you've not done it yet? Are you planning a marathon in the autumn or waiting until next year?

Lol. You're not shit mate, probably fat, sorry I mean short for your weight but do you follow a training plan or just make it up? I can recommend the P&D 18 week up to 55 mpw plan. It helped me to my sub 3.30 and I followed the 12 week plan for Boston's 3.30 time. I shall definitely follow a P&D plan for my next sub 3.30 attempt.

Right then, Dartmoor Discovery this weekend... assuming I beat the cut offs, it is a guaranteed pb as for one year only they revert to the original race distance of 34 miles to celebrate their 20th anniversary. This will be my 7th. I think I'm looking forward to the big downhill finish... maybe :-D Let's face it, Dartmoor is always a b*tch
