57.5 Degrees of Pain 28 Sep 11:39am, 28 Sep 2024 21,605 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain If Ray25757 is active here he'll get quite a few notifications for me! 2.54 to 8.13 @damo_HAC, I ran my marathon PB 2 weeks after G2E. Both races went well in good weather, though as the G2E was my first ultra I was conservative in the early going. Marathon was Lochaber, which was flat but 300m long! G2E is slightly longer now (55 miles back in the day). We ran from Ruchill Park to the basin at the very end of the Union canal. fetcheveryone.com/t-7560467

damo_HAC 28 Sep 6:19pm, 28 Sep 2024 694 posts	0 damo_HAC @57.5 Degrees of Pain thank you. That seems about right. I went off far too fast last year and paid for it in the later stages.
