altyfc I'm now 37 and beat my PB from when I was 25, on a much more challenging course. I'm delighted. I'll let my legs recover before making any promises for next year. Unaffiliated 3:55:24 3:55:24 4:10:00 3:55:24 52.32

Biastai Well I did what I set out to do and that was simply try out my marathon pace ready for Edinburgh two weeks after this one. Did not know the course so could not keep an even pace, so it turned in to a fun run. :-) Decided to romp the last bit home, not that I had a lot left. For those who bet on me, my apologies, but I did say I was just goin g to run it! So Edy could be good for a PB, maybe, just maybe, a sub 3:15...... No promises, we will just see!

Go-KL Entered this after being double booked by work to be in Bahrain on same day as London Marathon. Looking forward to doing my first non London Marathon. I am training to go under 2:50 if the course was flat - 2:59 may be a touch optimistic... The Brathay Windermere Marathon. Not as I planned it really. All went well with the journey up (Wife and baby in tow) and apart from a bit of normal tummy trouble had no issues. To cut a long story short suffered a suspected lower right calf pull at 16 miles, and after having it strapped up by First Aid, hobbled in over half an hour after I expected to finish. Suffered lots of pain immediately after finishing but a day on hopefully it seems the damage was not too bad. Very disappointed really that so much training was scuppered by, I believe, an injury caused largely by too much driving in the days leading to the race (And the demands of the undulating course).

Naomi P Won't be racing this but it looks lovely and I get to spend a weekend oop north *Update* Tough race but I had the company of Ogee, Trumpton Riots, Tramps and Magbag, and I found a bit of grit from somewhere to get through the pain. The beer at mile 20 definitely helped. Great to see so many Fetchies, and the TiTs, what an achievement, puts the Distric Double into context! Unaffiliated 3:28:37 3:38:59 4:30:00 4:10:58 53.38

Non-runner Really pleased with this first mara attempt, took it very steady as scared of bonking but didn't happen altho quads got more and more painful and did more and more walking, better conditioning needed. Started at the back, one bonus other than space was collecting and scoffing unopened gels dropped by others - naughty but cheers folks! Great course, support & atmosphere. Will try for 4.30 on a flatter course. Unaffiliated 4:29:04 4:50:41 6:00:00 4:50:41 50.68

PJL Well, anyone who saw me coming in to the finish must have been very confused. After struggling big-time for the last 5 miles with thigh muscles screaming in agony, and then being hit by a heavy shower of rain in the last mile, and when I forced those legs to run up the final hill, just as I turned the corner to the finish, Bob Dylan came on my MP3 player with the lines Unaffiliated 4:06:19 4:06:19 3:59:00 4:06:19 49.62

R4R Did first 11 too fast, suffered because of it during the next 11, and hanging on for the last 4. I'll know better next time ..... Not really a PB by the way, but as my best was over 20 years ago, and my last marathon was about 15 years ago, I think it counts for something :-) Northern Veterans AC, Penny Lane Striders 3:29:21 3:38:50 3:50:00 3:38:50 63.93
Rents The pains in my stomach i had between mile 20 and 25 really affected me. Unfortunately i was forced to walk for some time. Bring on the next one! Harmeny AC 3:25:56 3:56:31 3:59:59 3:56:31 54.74
Rosielad Loved this race last year and returning this year to hopefully beat my time.. Not expecting to beat marathon time from Robin Hood though!!!! **UPDATE** So close to Robin hood time but smashed last years time, very happy... Unaffiliated 3:55:45 4:15:41 4:15:00 4:15:41 49.03

tramps Great road race, but probably better if you've not run a marathon the day before. The District Double was too tough for me. It will be a pity if Windermere is forever stained as my worst ever race. Saffron Striders RC 3:27:25 3:53:14 4:43:02 44.29
Treacle The big Sub 4.30 attempt with NSC. However, the more I hear about the hills, the more unlikely I think it is that it will happen. So have amended my prediction accordingly - bet at your peril. EDIT: I loved this! Can't believe I actually did sub 4.30 on those hills! Unaffiliated 4:28:28 4:28:28 4:45:00 4:28:28 50.60
