Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Delighted for you tipsku congratulationsπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

So, pretty perfect London marathon day for me. 3:16:51. My best London by about 6 mins. Very happy. Maybe could have killed myself for sub3:15 (if that) but not much more.

And thank you to all well wishers on the thread. I used you as motivation during the race, I didn't want to return having missed it by a few seconds.

Helloooo! Fantastic running and pacing Tipsku! Welcome to the sub-3:30 club, very well deserved. And well done SS, great result. I'll update the wall of Fame later.

Thank you for my messages! I was over the moon to run 3:16:59 chip time with the 2nd half 1 min slower than the first. I had some niggle concerns in the last week but fortunately it felt the same in mile 26 as it did in mile 1 so I just ignored the pull I had down my right hamstring (caused by tightness in my lower back / glute on that side) and luckily it didn't feel like it restricted me. 8 secs slower than my PB but I'm genuinely not disappointed by that, I gave it my all today. 9 mins course best for London.
