Just had a look at the results and the Alexander with the 4.36 finishing time is registered as being with a Swedish University  I think Alex said earlier in the thread that he was studying in Sweden?

If true, then thats a good effort to complete the marathon following his 'training plan' and by the sounds of it a fairly sensible pacing strategy.

Hope you haven't got many stairs to walk up or down over the next couple of days Alex

How did you get on Alex?

Just had another look at the course and the elevation profile. Hadn't thought about it before but the bridge section looks like it could be quite painful (twice). Was planning on making my longest long run an undulating/hilly 22 miler so hopefully this will come in useful on the day...

Hoping for 3.45 but anything under 4 hours I'll be delighted with as a first marathon attempt. Plan is to take it easy and try and enjoy it (and not spend the whole time looking at my Garmin).   

Evening all, just stumbled across this thread. I'm doing Stockholm this year - my first marathon! Got my race pack today, all seems a bit more real now...

What sort of time is everyone going for?
