Deejay8 This was one of the best days of my life.I had trained hard and prepared well through a very cold winter for my first marathon.Then on the weekend of the race the south of England was hit by a heatwave and the temperature soared to 25 degrees.As i hadn't trained in the heat,it did slow me down a bit,and i missed out on my 5 hour target,but i finished and really enjoyed the whole experience.I can't believe it,but i am a marathon runner.

Rob W Looking forward to doing this again, not sure about my time prediction, after 4.01 in 2010 hope to be under 4 so I don't have to do it again!
Update - it was just too hot!  Was on target at the half way point but then decided it was more important to finish than risk having to pull out so backed off a bit... lets hope 2012 is a bit cooler! Unaffiliated 4:01:56 4:17:15 3:59:59 4:17:15 49.91

Melksham runner Very warm day. Set pace at 7:45 minute miles but in retrospect this was too ambitious for the conditions. Cramped up at 20 miles and didn't get my pre-match feeding right.

Enaoslm Well organised.  Park and ride system was very good.  Support was fantastic and gave me a real lift especially around half way mark.  Very hot though for April up to 23oC.  Felt good until about 17-18 miles and stated to lose form and slow down.  Managed quite a pacey shuffle though to record a great pb. Basingstoke & Mid Hants AC 3:02:51 3:12:54 3:30:00 3:12:54 63.58

Surrey Phil A very warm but enjoyable day.  Managed to run the first seventeen miles but ran out of steam later on.  Calves seized up after the race and fell on my face at the pier entrance - only pride damaged!  Saw a few ambulances and paramedics assisting runners today.  Thankfully I was not one of their casualties. FERC 4:32:57 4:41:56 4:41:56 44.47
Fitz Here goes, my first mara. Welcome to a whole new world of pain!

Actually, that was fun! Ran too fast to 16-17m, blew up a bit but still made sub-4, partly because I refused to be beaten by the bloke in the Chewbacca outfit.

Great crowd, plenty of encouragement, especially along the prom to the finish. FERC 3:51:40 3:57:15 4:00:00 3:57:15 54.57

johnnyl Brighton Marathon 2011. Tough going. Undulating first half (organisers said flat!). Sea front tremendously hot - ended up run walk run between water stations to cool down with water all over body

First half was around 1:33. Second half (an embarrassing!) 1:50

Must have been temperature as able to jog back the two miles to hotel afterwards! Pleased with time given conditions.

Am walking today (Monday) and in better condition than after London last year so hopefully better conditioned this time round. Quads slightly stiff and calfs feel fine.

UPDATE: Hope I'm not jinxing myself but there are less than 2 weeks to go and I'm not broken yet! :-)
