controversial Very very very good london marathon. Magical race with the crowd making you feel like you are running for gold! I will do it next year again! Manage to see my parents and a friend on the course so it was magical! And as usual the wifey was waiting at the finish line! On top of that it is my PB so ...

Go-KL The aim in the 6 months of training was to break 3 hours - even if it was by just one second. Training was a mixed bag - some great runs tempered with a frustrating series of hip and groin injuries, the worst of which left me unable to move my right leg whilst on a physio's bed 10 days before the big race. Happily I was patched up to a point where I was running in discomfort, but running ok. I was probably not quite in top form - that was in late February - then 3 flyaway GP's left me tired and not doing the normal level of training. Still I was confident I had it in me to break 3 hours. The race itself was an exercise in control and restraint. Using my Garmin and my HR monitor I consistently held back for the first 19 miles, not letting myself run faster than 6:32 pace and no higher HR than 170. Again the HR was a little higher than I expected, but I conclude that this must be due to the adrenaline of the day. The pain in the right hip came on at about 9 miles and reached a swift peak at 11. I was fearful that it would be a disastrous ending to the race, but some prodding in my side around my ribs periodically appeared to alleviate the problem. I was planning to push at 20 but decided to up it at 19 as I was feeling good. I actually ran my fastest 10km of the race in that final 6 miles and ended up with a negative split - something I thought I would never do. At 25 miles I knew that barring absolute disaster I would break 3 hours, and I let the occasion absorb me completely - making it the happiest running experience ever. I ended the race with a little cramp in my calf but otherwise fresh and fine - happy and eager to get out of London and into a hot bath!

Yazoo Great day once again... crowds were amazing... weather was pretty perfect for me and despite wanting to throw up for the last seven miles I managed to get a new PB. Okay so I'm not going to be starting at the elite start next year... but maybe that's what Autumn marathons are for!!

Brilliant support from the crowd gave me a real adrenalin buzz-I forgot it was a Marathon until about 8 miles I was enjoying it so much. Brilliant result (PB), brilliant race, and a GFA place for the next 2 years. Fantastic.

eL Bee! London has a Marathon, apparently... Well - it does - I was there. got T-shirt and everything to show for it!! I was more nervous about this race than any other I've ever been in. Why was that I hear you asking yourselves..!! Well - in part it was to do with the fact that it's a flippin' long way - in part it was to do with the fact that I've only tried one before and had a nightmare at Mile 21 - in part it was to do with the fact that I'd trained OK, but not as well as I should have - and in part it was to do with the fact that I'd told so many people what I was hoping to acheive. We caught the Club bus at ridiculously-early o'clock and were taken to somewhere near the Start - and wandered around the runners area doing the last 27 wee's and changing thing - drinking coffee and last fuelling up with Lucozade Sport.. Met up with XFR Bear too - which was really great. It was SO well organised.

Colinzealuk Chip time. First things first, a PB (even if just by a few seconds), so no complaints about that. On the other hand, blew up spectacularly in the second half for some reason and ran out of energy completely after running a strong first half - 1:30:38 - and on target for what I really wanted which was around 3:05. Gutted!

Vindicator My first marathon and what an atmosphere! Started off well, but things went a bit messy later on. I had gone in to the race having missed the last weeks pf training, including 3 of my long runs due to injury. I was expecting to blow up after 15 miles. Some encouragement from my wife who was running along side me got me through. Sub 4 was the target, but still very pleased with 4:08 given my injury.

racheybabes Wow, what an amazing day!! Time passed so quickly, partly due to the crowd support. I was a bit disappointed with my time but it took 20 mins for the first 2 miles, so i suppose that's life! This is the first year i haven't lost a toe nail, on ly got a massive blister cos of all the rain. All in all a truly exciting day!

Jimbo AMAZING!!!! WHAT A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE..... I may have missed my target time of 3:30, but I really don't care. Despite it hurting so much, I really did enjoy every minute. The atmosphere was far better than I ever imagined and passing Gordon Ramsey at 21 miles made it all just that little bit sweeter. This was my first ever marathon, and despite a few fueling errors along the way it could not really have gone much better. The rain caused me some problems with blisters from about 11 miles, which I am suffering with today, but who cares because I DID IT!!!! Roll on Cardiff in October. I have caught the marathon bug.

Going great until mile 18 then legs cramped up, awful blisters and last 8 miles were total AGONY. Glad I've done it though. A day I'll never forget with fantastic crowds who really helped every step of the way.

MacDaz It was magical. I've had a few days to reflect and it just keeps getting better. The plan turned to custard by mile 2 and the over crowding meant that I didn't do the time I think I was capable of, but looking back it does not matter a jot. I did sub 4 hrs in my first marathon and raised over £2,500 for DEBRA. A year ago I thought a 10k was my limit and 16 months ago getting of the sofa was a challenge. Now I've done it I really have run the London Marathon and I've fallen in love with it. The crowd were amazing and made me feel like a gold medal winner. It is an amazing event. It's like letting a pub team play in the FA cup final and enjoy that level of support, with the people really meaning it. I can't really describe what I'm feeling but one thing is for sure. I'll be back.

Vickyy was a bit disappointed with my time because training had gone really well and I wanted to try and crack under 4 hours - first half went to plan although did have to fight through crowds, kept getting boxed in. Hit the wall at about 14 miles and somehow never recovered - just got slower and slower until the last mile and a half when I managed to dig deep and find something! Sprinted to the finish. The event was amazing - the crowds, the organisation, the medal - everything! Would definitely like to do it again!

XB I decided that 2006 was the best chance for me to have a go at a marathon. I didn't get in through the ballot so have taken up a charity place with CLIC Sargent. For me it will definitely be an event rather than a race - if I can get round in under 5 hours I'll be happy; if it takes 6 hours I'll be happy too.

cidermonkey way outside my hoped for time, mainly due to illness which interrupted my training and a sore tummy on the day. But a great race. Could barely wipe the grin off my face for the first 10 miles, and definitely broke my pb for the amount of kids high-fived. The crowd were completely amazing and the organisiation fantastic. Was it just me or did anyone feel like they'd got stuck in the docklands forever and were never going to be let out again?!

blue (pete) BEFORE: I'm in Red start and hope to get into the runnersworld pace group - looks a very long way...bliddy hell...it IS a very long way. AFTER: I felt really down immediately after the race - don't know why. What an achievement! Today (24th) I've been wearing my t-shirt and medal and soaking up the praise and now think UP not down. Quads a bit tight but been to Nirvana Spa all day courtesy of Mrs b(p) and feel really good - can do stairs and everything. Thought all the organisation was fab - especially the fushing tiolets with wooden seats at the start and cups of sweet tea. Thown bottles a pain and seeing so many blokes p....g against walls etc wore very thin after a while. FLM spend a lot of money putting portaloos along the route - I stopped twice and waited a total of about 5 minutes including doing the deed - so what?! May just do another one. 2621 in age group, 14282nd male, 18020 place overall

Fat Man Runs What a perfect race - for once a bloke can have nothing to complain about. Funniest moment seeing Jade Goody at 4 miles asking her cameraman how much further she had to go?

kozzie Thrilled to take a massive 80 mins of last years time. All that hard work paid off in the end! Was tracking well for 4:40 up to about 15 miles but found it hard to maintain the pace. Sheer guts and the support of the AMAZING crowd made sure I came in sub5 so very happy on the whole. Today? well I think bungalows have suddenly become very appealing...

Vi Ninety Day Challenge One of the greatest days of my life,even a few tears as I crossed the line.After my injury this year felt on top of the world as I finished due partly to some good advice from Boycie,Wardy, and Captain Bob.Thanks for all the support during my training from the Hermitage Harriers.
