Athlete In Progress Race went well up to half way, then had pulled something in my back therefore had to walk/run from half way on.

Gutted!

Bintmcskint Got my place through a charity.  Desperate to do under four hours and, with a year to prepare, might just manage it.  Also currently training for my first triathlon (September of this year) so won't start dedicated marathon training until October.  Really looking forward to the race.
Update 08/04/09 - still going to run but carrying two maltracking patellas.  It will be both painful and slow but am determined to get round.  No 4 hours for me this time.  Will be happy with less than 5.
Update 27/04/09 - I did it!  Barely ran at all in the 2 months previous due to knee pain.  Physio helped a bit but in the end I broke 5 hours and am pleased with myself.  Want to do it again now! Unaffiliated 3:53:33 4:58:36 4:30:00 4:58:36 46.57

RichyC Amazing day all round.  My first FLM experience and really enjoyed it.  The organisation was superb, weather cracking if a bit warm and support fantastic.  Chuffed with pacing (garmin dead at start line) and felt much stronger than I could've hoped for over the last 6m.  1st half in 1.27.46, 2nd half in 1.28.02, 695th overall.

Hackett Blew my Marathon cherry on 3:43 little disappointed with that but found myselft in pen 7 and just could not get into a decent rhythmn - stopping and starting. Was 5 mins down in 5 miles and knew any attempt to get that back would be suicidal .....Found it hard from 21 miles on and had to take a walk at 24 miles but got back into it again -too busy , too warm and too hard !! Loved it though !!!!! Unaffiliated 3:35:30 3:43:12 3:40:00 3:43:12 55.79

ChrisThePuma Very happy with my time considering the awkwardness of wearing Bertie Bloodcell - my charitys mascott.  felt really strong until about mile 18 but then the heat really started to take its toll in the big buildings of docklands.

Simon L Ran steady to half way. 1 hour 50mins. Started to feel lack of energy. Guess due to heat. Got cramps above knees at 19 miles. Never had that before. Nursed home with regular stops. Disappointed with over 4 hours. Must do another one make myself feel better.    Unaffiliated 4:05:02 4:05:02 3:45:00 4:05:02 49.64

Ticker It was hot and far too crowded for the first 20K despite starting in pen 5 (out of 1 to 9), we were walking for the first 2 miles. I managed to claw some back in the second half and finished 3:45. It was wonderful, the support was fantastic. Even around docklands there were people everywhere; cheering and whistling. I didn't want it to end. I loved it! TENTATIVE Unaffiliated 3:45:53 3:45:53 3:30:00 3:45:53 56.84

Rapid Snail Loved every minute.  Had pretty even splits (01:58:40 and 01:59:32) and managed a good finish despite a bit of cramp at 22 miles.  The crowds were extraordinary..nothing could have prepared me for the amount of support out there.  Had a couple of blips in training but am now convinced after following Hal Higdon's Int II plan that there is no need to run further than 20 miles in training.

Dom75 Had a nightmare April of illness and injury, not shaken off a cold and achilles knackered. Set off too fast, tendon hurting by 4 miles, slowing after 6, got to halfway and had to stop. Run/walked second half averaging 10mm... only the thought of my sponsors got me round and the people waiting on embankment. Unaffiliated 3:15:57 3:57:25 3:20:00 3:57:25 51.63

     I'm in on a charity place and besides myself with excitement.  I shall enjoy this as much as I enjoyed my first ever marathon.  

As I invented Fetchpoint (and then Stumpy did all the work making it happen) and have spent the last 4 years supporting at London, it will be lovely to be on the receiving end at FLM. Unaffiliated 4:26:37 5:59:47 5:59:47 37.60

clairevmc Watch time for now.  So pleased with a 22 min PB!!  Really struggled in this one though, was half a minute down on my intended time at half way and slowed - legs feeling like lead from about mile 20 onwards.  Managed to keep the pace for sub3 til about 24 miles and it was then all I could do to keep running.  So upset not to have got sub3 but it was an outside chance and I'm pleased to say I didn't blow the whole thing by my gamble to go off at 6.45min/mile pace.

Lethargic Great run, 15min PB, half splits of 75  + 79, dropping off not as bad as previous 26.2. With the Champs start got into a good pace quicker, and actually saw more of the course than last year. Highlights, running around Cutty Sark with two other runners, no one else around, and also going over Tower Bridge with a club mate who I followed for most of the race and another local runner. Enjoyed this years race than last years damp and cold run, the crowds much bigger, and cheering everywhere.    Long Eaton Running Club 2:34:27 2:34:27 2:34:27 79.41

Bob! Trod on a water bottle at about mile 5 and turned the ankle, had a shooting pain a few times in the achilles area, and was worried about making it round    

Struggled from mile 15, but kept going at about 9.30 pace cos I could see that a sub 4 was on the cards. The positive half of my brain wan the battle against the other half trying to get me to stop!

Took on a bit too much water and a few too many gels and felt very ill. So overall still satisfied with sub 2.55 and GFA. Well done everybody, good running on a challenging day.

About 4.5Kg lighter than when I ran 3:15 Marrakech in January, lightest in about 18 months, so looking good.
This will be my 3rd FLM.
1st time in the Good For Age red start, race number 31463.  See you all there!

Got to about 18 miles running at 2:54 pace, then it all started to go south, pace dropped right off.
Moaning about 'only running 3:04', Edinburgh I hope will see that 3:00 broken again ;-)

ninemins Hope to beat the just sub 4:00:00 Robin Hood time. maybe even 3:45:00 - Well I was gutted with 4:45:10 but reading all the other reference to cramp and feeling wacked at 18 and that is what happened to me to. I spotted a short loo queue in the shade @18 and that settled my stomach and a quick stretch impoved my calf. But all the early stop starting and painfully slow bits meant I was not on to even match my PB.

Glad I eased right off and survived without any serious damage - never seen so many poor folk being attended to by St John's - quite a few being helped by other runners etc.

Not sure quite how to train for the conditions because I have never run it that that before!

Should be my 2nd crack at 26.2m distance, looking to avoid cramp in the last couple miles & shave 5 to 10min off p/b depending how crowded the course is. 20/4/09 then again maybe not picked a slight niggle.

skoorb Poorly run first marathon, bad pacing as I actually went for 3 hours as golden time and 3.15 as worse case scenario. Maintained 6.52 m/m until 14 when it started to slip, pushed on when I should have cut right back, let HR come down and then run at adjusted pace. Cramp over last 6 miles meant lots of stopping to stretch and a poorly set up Garmin saw me miss GFA by one minute !

ding_dong Fantastic event with an elecrifying atmosphere.  Felt like I ran a good race with the second half nearly as fast as the first (1:39:36 followed by 1:40:04) but I probably started too far back as I was moving up the field throughout and my pace was quite badly hampered in the early miles.  Even at the halfway point I was still having to weave and dodge to overtake.  Mile times (as best I could take them):

milemonster Race number: 620. Championship position application form sent mid October.  Can't wait for the acknowledgment form which will be returned in the stamped addressed envelope.  This will be my 4th Marathon. Done London in April 2007 (3h 1m) , Blackpool in April 2008 (2h 35m), Angelsey in Sept 2008 (2h 47 (Hilly!)) and now, hopefully 2h 34m for London April 2009. 
I am pleased but disappointed at the same time. Basically I got to 20 miles in 1h59 and thought that was too fast and might blow up if I didn't slow down. So I slowed a little and when I got to 25 miles I felt OK (tied but OK); it was too late then to do anything; I should have kept it strong back at 20miles. I think also at the 20mile mark the sun was out so I felt a little heat exhaustion.

39articles This was my first marathon, so I was chuffed enough to cross the finish line.  Ideally, it would have been under 4 hours, but hey ho! Wymondham AC 4:05:00 4:05:00 4:00:00 4:15:00 52.54

Laudy It is with trepidation that I have added this to my portfolio, as a cursory glance at my recent races entered shows a distinct lack of finishing times, inlcuding the Berlin and Frankfurt marathons. I've managed two 10ks in the last 18 months, but providing the second op (to remove some of the metalwork from the first) goes well in a couple of weeks, I'll be at the start in April - fit(ish) and raring to go.
