I reckon I am nowhere near close to being 3:15 shape now - I need to make the long runs a wee bit longer. The question is can I be bothered upping the game to move that towards 3:15 or not. I suspect not.
WW - I've never walked in a marathon. Except for the ones I was doing "for fun" - Boston, London marathon as a guide runner, some hilly ones, some off road ones, and all the ultras!  G

Oh, now I'm embarrassed. I've even taken the tube as part of my journey to the finish line in VLM!
I also walked almost a complete lap of the Olympic stadium at the end of Amsterdam, breaking in to a jog when I briefly became lucid enough to realize I could go sub 3:15!!
Puzz - you are clearly in great shape, you continue to churn out runs that make my mind boggle. Really hope that you get to race. Fingers crossed for you.

Lol - Sure Stoosh is in the 'tube' club as well
I agree with WW on puzzler, the stats from strava now I know who you are make very good reading

thankfully there are limited public transport options in the rural land of the PB otherwise known as Abingdon

and now I've seen what G did there...
I'm not sure that I'm in shape to even complete a marathon right now. if I just made the long runs a wee bit longer then I might be in sub 3:30 shape. The question is can I be bothered upping the game to move that towards 3:15 or not. I suspect not.
Still target sub 90 over Tower Bridge though

Hmm - Not sure I've ever not walked in a marathon , usually just aid stations if I am actually trying though.
WW - Windermere you know you want too.

What’s your stories Baz and Stoosh? I assume you get on the tube/dlr for free.

Whoah, it was WW and Stoosh that got the tube/dlr home. Ive made it to the finish every time !!!
My one marathon with walking was Palma. I went in injured, did a fitness test 2 days before, decided to run. Stupidly. Almost withdrew at mile 14 as I passed my hotel but soldiered on. At mile 19 my calf went pop (not the original injury) and I ran/hobbled the rest trying to avoid a PW and missed by 3 mins
