That’s what I’m hoping for :)
And if next marathon is warm I’ve done what I can, and if not, I probably have some benefit when it’s cooler again!

My first sub3 was an autumn marathon after a hot summer when it cooled down just in time for race day (mid Sept).

Certainly a hot spring race day after a cold winter of training can be a problem (as many London runners have found over the years).

jdawayinamanger Have you got a link to the Wava utmost? Never seen that table....

I joined the normal one and am just about to be relegated From the first division.

Don't know if there is a direct link, you can change the league in a menu button where it says "UTMOST run league" where you can select WAVA instead. We are adjacent in D1 but opposite sides of the relegation threshold :-)

Ace thanks both.

I'll happily swap leagues for a week Windsor Wool! I reckon I need to run a quick 5 miler or a 10k to close the gap to you jdawayinamanger

Well 1.24 for the half wasn’t quite the plan 🙈 yes it was traily and yes it was hot but for some reason the legs just didn’t fancy it yesterday

Meant to reply sooner Chris, looked at the run and it was pretty hilly for you where you are and the hill right at the start must've pushed the effort levels up really early. I think 1:24 on that course looks decent, if not what you went in hoping for.
