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

ChristianPoulton I'm very pleased with my result (02:49:42), although not a PB, considering the course (Athens being one of, if not the most difficult of the big city marathons), my time and the fact that I felt pretty strong throughout the race, even more so than my PB race in Berlin, means that I am progressing and that all my training is finally paying off. It's a difficult balancing act trying to run the maximum number of miles, along with keeping the quality intact and getting the right amount of recovery. I don't think that I have achieved this as yet - I need to run more miles, more focused sessions with harder runs and get more 'quality' recovery, especially sleep which is nowhere near enough... I've had a fantastic time in Athens, with my family, post race high, eating and drinking far too much. Now I need to refocus and rebuild my fitness up again with hopefully a good winter season running cross country before I again begin my marathon training in preparation for running the London Marathon. I am hoping that I can build on my recent success in Athens and achieve that elusive sub 2:45 PB.
