baggieboy My first marathon - The plan to achieve sub 3:15. Race report - Worst race i ever done since starting running in 2005. Had all hopes of getting 3:05/3;10. didn't feel right after 3 miles was working to hard to keep to my pace, after 10 miles started to struggle. The last 16 was hell and 300 other runners past me until i finish. Still can not work out what went wrong. However planning another Marathon in April, because i known i can do much much better.

Ginger N Pleased and at the same time dissapointed, was running 2:52 pace and felt as comfortable. But too much refueling during mile 15 brought on wave after wave of stitches so slowed to 3hr pace. Couldn't eat or drink from then on which made the last few miles intresting. Held on for a PB when it would have been easier to cut my losses. Beckenham RC 2:52:32 2:55:38 2:55:38 69.23

HappyG(rrr) Right, that's it. Entry paid and confirmed. Can't believe I'm doing another mara. I said I wouldn't! Sub 3:30. Pleeeeease! With a following wind and a bit of fetchpoint shouting/jaffa caking to push me on! *Update July 09 - now trying for sub 3:15. Eeeep! But 3.2x anything will be great. :-)G *update2 - yay did it! Sub 3:15!* Harmeny AC, Kinross Road Runners 2:57:37 3:12:18 3:14:59 3:12:18 65.20

Impossible is Nothing DNF - went out at sub-3 pace to see what happened but lack of that level of fitness became obvious. 16 miles out my legs were tying up and (although 16th mile was uphill) ran a couple of slow miles so decided not to stagger to the finish in a time over 3 hours and knock out 6 weeks of running in the process. A long walk back to the start past many concerned other runners! Well-organised race, good course and good conditions, shame it didn't work out. Westbury Harriers 3:07:43 3:23:32

Johnny Blaze If I don't do sub 4 at paris this is my last chance for the year. May cry if I do it (or get bladdered one of the two). Revised time down due to injury woes - will be trying for 10mm and see if I can get round in that - will be chuffed if I do. Unaffiliated 3:59:35 4:09:14 4:20:00 4:13:44 53.70

LBM My first Marathon. Official time 3:09:18 so pleased, but know I could have taken a further 4-6 mins off that if I hadn't taken a chance on wearing my Fastwitch flats for this distance. Feet & hips suffered as a result, so should have worn by Brooks Adrenaline. Nevertheless, for my first marathon I'm delighted as it secures me a GFA place for London 2011. I finished 10th in Cat V50 and 116 overall :-) Great day! Norfolk Gazelles Running Club, Trail Running Association 2:57:35 3:09:18 3:09:18 71.98

MarkC Struggled badly from mile 24 but this is still a 7min PB for me. Well happy with that. Couldn't have done without Peacey. The man's a legend. Great to run with Keefy Beefy, Stuart M and many others. More later. I'm shagged. But content. I can improve on this too. Unaffiliated 3:31:01 3:36:19 3:35:00 3:36:19 57.57

Naomi P Target marathon for the autumn. *Update* Whoo, 3600 credits bet! 4 minute PB which I'm happy with, but I'm not a fan of that super risky eyeballs out pacing strategy, didn't work for me today ;-) Great race with loads of Fetchy and other mates, and the best Fetchpoint ever :-) Unaffiliated 3:28:37 3:38:59 3:30:00 3:38:59 61.18
neiltaff Did this last year for the first time really enjoyed ,although i paid the price for an overexhuberant first half. Cramp in both hamstrings and both calves at the same time meant a bit of walking between mile 15 and 21 ,never mind it's all part of the learning curve . Unaffiliated 3:12:08 3:20:00

Missed pb by a minute, felt like giving upo at 20-21, but fought on and somehow still enjoyed it. Reading Roadrunners, Watford Joggers 3:11:37 3:11:37 3:12:52 63.38

Whoisdavidmagii? First marathon so bit of a lottery to what time but I am confident of 3:45 (3:30 would be the absolute best I think). You know what............I was on for 3:30 at 22 miles but just blew up; absolute agony for last 3 miles. Ah well, I'm pleased with my time & it was a great day.
