I also ran last year, Valencia is a lovely city, really easy to get around. The marathon is flat & not too crowded, there's a brilliant atmosphere around the course, with plenty of drinks & gels handed out. The expo is easy to get to and a 15 min walk from nearest metro. 

I travelled on my own & stayed in an apartment 10 min walk from the city centre. Supermarket & pubs nearby. & metro stop 2min walk away. They were called 'valencia central apartments' 

Doing the French Riviera marathon this time, but will definitely run Valencia again in the future.

good luck with this years training! 

Hi there, I'm running the French Riviera marathon in November.

Does anyone know of any 15+ mile races August-October I could run in preparation.

Thanks in advance.

Best moment was probably going over Tower Bridge - incredible atmosphere

Worst moment - Getting to mile 20, & my legs telling me they could no longer function properly

I was very suprised at how crowded the marathon was, and the amount of slower runners in front of me blocking my way

Most memorable was staying on track at mile 19 and seeing my friends cheers me on

I aimed for sub 4, got 4.21

Celebrated with a a couple of pints with my mates

Doing 9 miles tomorrow, then 4 miles on Friday. I'm at the blue start so will be trying to keep just behind the 9 mile/min pacer, as long as i get 3.59 or less I'll b happy

Going for 13 miles today, then 8-10 miles next weekend. Cant believe it's only 2 weeks away!
