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

Notes & Comments

Barcelona Marathon. Plan was to use this as a training run for marathon later in the year. Felt ok up to 26k, then pain in left knee, over compemsating pains in right quad and lack of training took its toll. Had a few walk breaks for last 16k. Pleased to make it to the end and finish in under 4 hours. Was in alot of pain at the end..... but it was worth it. Don't think I will attempt another marathon on such little training and when not fully recovered from an injury though. Really good course, and liked the constant undulations - well maybe not the downhill bits when your quads are on fire. (Splits = 5km 27.59, 10km 26.11, 15km 26.24, 20km 26.06, 25km 26.06, 30km 29.40, 35km 30.02, 40km 31.04, 42km13.17)
Please wait... saving your change.
