katypie Hot day, started too fast at 10K pace for about 19M. TOTM which may have made it harder - remember this for Edinburgh Hard work but well wort h it Unaffiliated 3:53:57 4:01:32 4:02:04 55.34
Snapstinget The wheels came well and truly off. But there were lots of compensations, and I reckon anyone who struggled and finished did well, so I am quite proud of myself. Funny how the weather affects some people more than others; loads of fetchie PBs, yet loads of PWs as well!!! Lovely weekend. Unaffiliated 4:13:24 4:13:24 4:49:43 48.29
kenster Managed to keep sub 3 hour pace until 16 miles then died, far to hot for me.Plenty Fetchie support which gave a boost for a bit!! Cambuslang Harriers, Campbeltown Running Club 2:29:49 3:07:48 3:07:48 64.81

Ticketyboo Not a very good day, injury, poor time and sunburnt (I now have a very red vest imprint tattooed on my body). Went through half way comfortably in 1.29 and then injury struck around 17 miles. Hobbled very slowly for last 9 miles. Congrats to Fannybawz on his first marathon and in an impressive time.

susietwoshoes Did not go entirely to plan, but lessons have been learned. It was unseasonably warm, which I hadn't expected. Enjoyed the run, not quite as much as Loch Ness, found the long straights on main road with traffic whizzing by quite a challenge. Dumfries RC 5:17:13 5:17:13 5:36:00 44.39
smckie Wanted to have a bash and see if I could do sub-4. Sadly not! Defo went off too fast as I was really suffering by 16miles. But a fantastic race, a lovely day, and fantastic fetchie support crew Westerlands Cross Country Club 4:07:50 4:07:50 4:14:53 52.64

The Belly Is Gaun Tae Get Ye New PB.Great pacing until mile16 then let slip, reverted to training pace until last mile which was target pace.Felt strong in last 10k and passed lots of people. However the best bit was the great lift from all fellow Fetchies and the support of Old Mum and Loon Dod and their crew. Ride 63 3:37:59 3:37:59 3:37:59 57.51

Vic Mason This will be my 1st marathon & am really looking forward to it. My training from January has been spot on & have managed to excel in this years races beyond my expectations. Sub 3 hours would be unbelievable. See what happens on the actual day. Good luck to Ticketyboo & Hamshank. *** UPDATE*** 1st marathon in ideal weather conditions pacing myself with Hamshank & managed to maintain plan A; sub 3.00 pace until 18 mile point. Splits: 6.47, 6.46, 6.55, 6.50, 6.56, 6.49, 6.52, 7.06, 7.01, 6.56, 6.54, 6.51, 6.46, 6.45, 6.51, 6.59, 7.07, 6.43. Sub 3.00 was starting to slowly dwindle at this point as mind & legs were going through a tough stage. Onto plan B; which was try to get under 3.10 again this seemed a tall order on very tired legs so quickly reverted to plan C; which was a more realistic benchmark to come in under 3.15 and go for Good for Age into the London Marathon. Splits for the remainder 8 miles: 7.52, 8.28, 9.06, 8.01, 8.06, 8.06, 8.28, 10.38 (1.1m). Overall I'm absolutely delighted with my time. Thanks to Hamshank for his support & well done to Ticketyboo for his sheer guts & determination on finishing. And thanks to Santababy for a suck on her jellybabies!

LouLou Set out to achieve 3hr 15. Was on track for at least a 3hr 10 at half way. Then started to really feel it but got there in the end!! :) Dundee Hawkhill Harriers 2:59:49 3:13:38 3:14:59 3:13:38 69.19
Ally C Pre race - Changed my predicted time due to suffering severe cold week before event. Feeling slightly better however not at peak performance. Post race - Considering I managed bearly a mile a week ago I am well chuffed with my time. It was a hot day and I struggled from 22 miles in. Feet struggling with blisters now. Another PB!!! RAF AC, Moray Roadrunners 2:42:46 3:07:04 3:25:00 3:13:57 63.24
Llamadance cramp struck at 18 miles and eventually scuppered the sub 3:30, but I'm really happy with not just the time, but how I dealt with the cramp. Ran with SoaPM until the cramp hit which was great, and it was a cracking day with too many Fetchies to mention. Unaffiliated 3:33:33 3:33:33 3:29:00 3:33:33 57.97
Son of a Pronator Man I have slain the 3:30 dragon with the sword of training, the armour of pacing (thanks Llama) and the shield of energy gels. What's that coming over the hill ? Is it a monster? 'Tis the beast of 3:15 ! Oh feck :) Edinburgh Athletic Club 3:08:52 3:19:40 3:29:59 3:27:14 63.52
SparkyMark WooHoo - I'm in :-) Time prediction closer to race and see how well winter training goes - but I want a PB :-) UPDATE - Sore feet, cramps in calves and hamstrings - not great. Lots of walking and soul searching - but I finished. Will be blogged Alchester RC (Bicester) 3:39:39 4:45:00 3:35:00 4:45:00 44.32

Lisrun My second marathon. Oops, its now going to be my third marathon after an unexpected FLM. This will be a training run for the District Double in May, so I will try (yes I will try) and take it slowly. Forget this, I am going for a sub-4 time (so much for resolve). But is there enough time to recover from FLM ? *Update* Sorry everybody who bet on me *hangs head in shame*. I went for it and at 20m it was looking very good, but I was hit by bad leg cramps and I crashed and burned. Had a great weekend with lots of Fetchies in spite of run going badly pear shaped :-) 100 Marathon Club, North East Marathon Club 3:53:11 4:02:11 3:59:59 4:26:08 54.02

purephase This will be my first marathon so I dont know how i will react when it comes to the last four or five miles, put a prediction of 4 hours but would love to get well under that. I tried to get into the Edinburgh but didnt get a place so I am on a 12 week training schedule instead of the 16 week I would have prefered. Read a lot of good things about the Lochaber and I am really starting to get excited about actually running a MARATHON. Greenock Glenpark Harriers 3:36:16 3:56:17 4:00:00 3:56:17 53.90
Dave_K This will be my first marathon. Really looking forward to it. Would love to go under 4 hours. *UPDATE* What an amazing day !! Fantastic race, fantastic suport & organisation. Overwhelmed by the time. Great to see all the Fetchies and meet some of them. Thanks to Santababy for the jelly babies at about 16M. Will blog full report when I,ve got my head around it all!!!

RuthB2 Can't wait for this - I am going to run aiming for a PB, but I'm never sure what will happen on the day. *UPDATE* sorry, but no PB this time. I'm quiet gutted really, but had a great weekend. well done to everyone who ran, and our mobile fetchpoint! Unaffiliated 3:36:34 4:25:50 4:15:00 4:25:50 50.40

Debstir I did say I wouldn't put any pressure on myself but I know what I'm like, I know I'll want to try to PB even though my training's been pants - bet on me at your peril :-) UPDATE: I've put down my watch time, although the 'official' (non-chipped) time is still only 18 seconds slower. Thank you to all who had confidence in me, I got you some points!! My race report will be in my blog when I have two minutes to put it all in there :-) Unaffiliated 4:28:36 4:28:36 4:42:40 4:28:36 50.07

Hopefully things are going to get better. *****UPDATE***** Don't somehow think I will pb at this one:-( *******Another update********* I don't know where the hell THAT came from:-) Lonely Goat Running Club 5:05:00 5:05:00 5:15:00 5:10:25 48.05
