A marathon in quite some heat and humidity dibble, I guess, even if it started early. I would have had so much trouble in that heat

Great effort, Dibble! Will be interested to hear details! What led you to Delhi rather than Wokingham?

As for Wokingham, turns out I did have a (sub) 1:35 half in me Perfect conditions and a flat course = 1:34:20 which is a PB by over 4 minutes, and gives me a big heap of confidence for my 'main' race which is Brighton marathon. Happy days!

Congratulations Joe! Great run, bodes very well for Brighton. I had a decent run at Wokingham - went out a bit quicker than my intended 9m/m MP, but felt good so stayed with it. Tested fuelling better, which worked well, and managed to speed up a little for the final miles for 1:51.32, still feeling like I could keep going at the end, so I'm happy with that as marathon prep. It was a nice course despite the short-notice changes for flooding, though I did find myself getting a bit bored in the later miles, especially on the long straight drags over motorway bridges - that says more about me than the race though! |

If you have the mental strength to get a bit bored, you probably have more to give well raced CasB

Congratulations on the PB, Joe. I hope your training for Brighton keeps going well, so far, you've done everything right, it seems. It sounds like a great marathon training session, CasB. If you gain mental strength from enduring a boring half, that's a win. |
