Ditto...I ran a time of 5hrs 4 minutes at London- disapoointed with my time as I wanted 4:48 (11 minute miles)...I was ok until about mile 20. However, I really didn't know what to expect from mile 20 as this is the furthest I had gone in training. I really wish I had done a few more 20 milers and perhaps a 22 miler to make me stronger. I can blame the heat...but to be honest I think it was more likely under training as physically i felt fine all the way around...no real niggles and I wasn't too dehydrated at the end. I drank at every water station. So...yes..I will enter the ballot again but as I will be very lucky to get in twice I may enter Brighton. I will tweek my training to allow for extra long runs and next time I will have a better idea about how far 26 miles really is. Incidently, my Garmin clocked a mileage of 26.55 miles ! I'm tempted to look for a late Autumn marathon somewhere. |

Ha ha Helen...when (not if) I get my medal I'll be wearing it all year!!!! Colleagues at work (not to mention friends and family) have had to suffer the pains and moans of my training for months so really they deserve the medal.... I have a wedding to attend on Good Friday....may even wear it then  | |
