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?

DaveH Going for sub-3 but going to be touch-and-go as training has had to be put on the back burner for my own stupid personal reasons.
**UPDATE** All going swimmingly (well as swimmingly as it can do) until my right hammy went from slight twinge if I went under 6:50s to full-blown scream-inducing cramp at the only point on the course where there weren't any supporters (mostly as they were all IN the Heineken Brewery not outside it). 5 mins later I was back on my feet and hobbled over the line a little after Jigs cruised in. More to follow.

degennal Started out as a great race pacing with the 4:30 RW group, but then really struggled at 30K.  Had to run/walk it to the 40K mark and then ran to the end!

Foxy 4 of us Headed out to Amsterdam, my Aussie Lodger Dave,Dave Ross & his mate John, Aussie Dave didn't run but we are still trying to persuade him to one day, John did the half. 

The course was very similar to the year before but without a lap of the Stadium around 8km as in 2006. 

put in a spring finish over the final 400 yards, airplaning across the finish in a pleasing time, slower than last year but with the increase in races that's to be expected.Couldn't hold back the tears of relief at the end.

Very pleased to run back to back weekends in sub 3 hours 45 mins. 

A wicking t-shirt, with Orange sleeves & Blue trim by Mizuno, not bad but a little flambouyant, The medal was nice very similar to the previous year - oval shaped again featuring the olympic torch. 

3 countries & 5 marathons towards my challenge done.

Keefy Beefy Was going to escort my Uncle but as he's been injured it let me off. In the end I went for Gobi's idea of 10K slow, 10K PMP, 10K slow, 10K PMP, 2.2K slow. The PMP bits went ok but it was hard to slow down after the fast parts so it was maybe ran a little harder than I planned.

Markonline99 Too few 20 mile long runs during training caused me to slow after the 18 mile mark. Injured my left knee at 23 miles, and had to walk/shuffle to the end. Never again will I skimp on the long runs during marathon training. A lesson learned the hard way.

Miss Sweden I really have no idea what kind of time I'll do this in. But I reckon I should be able to do it in under 5 hours, yet not much faster than 4.45.
However, it's only January and I've got a lot of training time yet, so I may well be able to improve on this (I hope!)

Well, I had eventually hoped to do this in 4.30 but but dodgy IBS belly on the day meant I spent a lot of time on the lavvy both before the rcae and during (5 loo stops!) Didn't feel great, but was pleased juyst to finish. I'm still up for another one. I know I can do better!

shineyheadmike Really surprised with time.  Felt good most of the way with absolutely even 28minute 5Ks all the way round.
Loved the cours and brilliant atmosphere.

swift8 After a sudden rash piece of 'inspiration' today, I've decided that if I'm ever going to attempt a marathon it might as well be this one. I suspect I won't finder a flatter one! I'd better start working on a plan now...

tuck Woo Ho!! New PB, very pleased with the time considering.....Legs could not take the last 1K and with 200m to go legs completely cramped up.  Had to stop and stretch and managed to get going again to run to the finish line.  At the moment can't say I enjoyed it, but come the end of the week?...
