Kim!
I've heard Berlin is very fast - but I guess only for the fast people at the front, not hoi polloi.

Kim one of our club members, a regular marathoner, has posted that he had a very similar experience and ended feeling that he never wants to do another marathon Very well done for getting to the end in a sprint finish!

Excellent determined running, Kim. It’s a shame you went all that way for an underwhelming experience

Thanks folks. That makes me feel better LD if that makes sense. There was 7 of us running and all of us suffered in the second half of the race.
I might give it another bash in the future. Everyone I spoke to beforehand only had good things to say about Berlin. (But they’ve not done London so maybe I have overly high expectations!)

Good running Kim, in what sounds like less than ideal conditions, definitely deserves some

Hello - I am afraid I can't face reading the 200 or so posts I seem to have missed. Very busy weekend socialising in Cambridge at a college reunion. No running as I was too knackered when I got home. What have I missed??

Well done Kim, like I said before Kudos for doing a marathon and especially in that conditions.
First run in over a week and so nice and steady with one of the running club group for company which was nice.

a good, non-coughing jog to crossfit and back. Also, no longer shittest in crossfit! There are some new girls who are even worse than me!

Well done Kim for getting through it - sounds grim but mild, soggy UK marathons will be a doddle by comparison.
5 and a bit twilight miles - lovely and mild for autumn but I swallowed a dozen bugs as a result. And it's dark at 8!
