London marathon today, was hoping sub 4 but my first cold this week in 18 months put paid to that.

Just going to relax, take it easy and enjoy it

It's a really nice route, scenic.
I've not done this, but I've done the penshaw half and the finish is brutal. Done the route, the incline up to offerton village is horrible. Pleased it's not going up Satan's steps like the half did!

Looking forward to it on Sunday, it'll be a canny run out

The route is reversed thsi year so we run to offerton then down to the river and along, but then worst of all back up to the monument, the last mile is going to be hell

With regard to marathons, I think I've stumbled across the most painful marathon record ever while looking through stuff this morning related to the marathon on the box.

Any girls here up for it? 26 miles running in high heels?

That last incline from Cox Green to the finish was horrible!
Tired legs today but got round in one piece.
That red pop they dish out is lovely!

 

[StrangerThings]

Anyone know of any decent sub 2 hours half marathon plans? I am hoping to give it a go next year.

Aye that last hill is horrible, I ran as far as the pylon, then had to walk and almost crawl to the stile

I ran London yesterday and passed a guy wearing ice hockey boots.

I got about the same distance up then made sure I ran up the steps to the finish for the camera hahaha

Not with the blades on? That's worse than the high heels one I quoted.

PB for a half today (01:39:07). Was a training run and think I could take an extra couple of minutes off but not sure I could hold on to my page 1 target of sub 01:35:00, maybe give it a proper whack before the end of the year.

Doing a 50k in north yorkshire on the 16th and then Wooler Marathon in November...thinking about taking a break / cross training for rest of year after that.

 

[A Teenstone]

Broke 28 minutes from the first time at Durham parkrun today. Chuffed with that. 7th parkrun and getting faster each time. it's a nice flat course like.

My mate did it in ski boots. Horrific and he has blisters before he even hit the start line!

 

[D.A]

Ran Manchester marathon yesterday in 2:54:10, 9:38 pb. Chuffed.

Signed up for one of those Saturn races next month at Herrington Park. Gunna set off at HM pace then maybes push for 30km.

 

[Marsden Mackem]

Last faster run of any consequence today before marathon on Sunday and after 18 weeks of injury free running (in fact the whole year over 2,000 miles) have managed to tweak my hamstring, hoping it settles down next couple of days but bloody typical.

Could be marathon phantom injury hopefully!

Is that one of those where you see how many laps of a set course you can do without keeling ower?

Aye think it's 7 hours you get to do as long as you want.

Sounds interesting that like. Got a line mate?

I've started running home from work occasionally again. There can't be many more spirit sapping straights than the bottom of Bede bank to the start of Herra mind.
