Time: 3:45Followed the RW 3:45 training plan & did 3:45:34. Best moment was passing club supporters at just before 25M & realising I still felt good & had plenty of puff when I'd anticipated needing an ambulance at that stage before the race. Seeing

Time not givenRan on plan for first 14 miles but then fell off pace (I hadn't allowed enough for loss of training due to injury) and was encouraged round by many friendly fellow-runners. Ran fast at end and came in with London PB but disappointing

application form so to come in at 3:27:50 in my first-ever marathon was awesome and to coin a phrase "I love it when a plan comes together!"I will add some speedwork to my training in future as did none this time. I will stretch religiously in future as rather

Time: 4:25I do like it when a plan comes together.This time last year I was approached via the Forums by a young lady wishing to run The Flora London Marathon, having just watched friends taking part and being overcome with insanity by the whole

basis!NovemberThis month's training: November saw me training in England, Scotland and Ireland enjoying manysunrises and sunsets. Spent a lot of time working out a training plan totake me up to my peak training meek at the end of May and realised that

crowded and it was difficult.  Although I didn't mind the weather, my fingers were numb at the end!  Anyway, its not put me off - I'll be there next year - this time sustaining no training injuries beforehand AND planning the end escape better! Plan to do

to the training plan. I think I succeeded because mid way through my training programme I switched from 5 days of running to 4 days running and 1 day crosstraining. This significantly lowered injury and time off.Q: How will you be celebrating? A: By not running

differently? Follow a sub-3hr training plan next time instead of a sub 3:30 plan/not eat a Pepperami straight after a marathon.An awesome experience and one of the best days of my life - can't wait until next year! Ace_racer, 2:57:24\r\r\r\r\r\r-- This was my
