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

02.52.08
Happy with that for my first road marathon.
Was on for sub 2.50 but totally blew up on the hill on Sandy Lane at 24 miles and then just shuffled to the finish! Looking at my splits I probably paid the price for a few overly brisk miles (e.g the 6.10,6.12, & 6.15). I also did too much work on the front of the group I was with, towing them along for miles.

Reckon I can run 2.45 at Manchester next April if I:

-do more long runs (only did 1x 20, 1x 19, 2x 18's plus quite a few 16's). I need to do more 20's and a couple of 22's
-lose a bit more weight. Raced at 71.5kg. Can definitely get under 70kg
-have a consistent winter of cross-country and Borders league road-racing to build my strength and speed.

Bring it on!
6.30 6.30 6.25 6.12 6.27 6.23 6.15 6.35 6.34 6.28 6.23 6.28 6.21 6.41 6.10 6.29 6.28 6.28 6.35 6.15 6.28 6.38 6.45 then markers went wrong!
Please wait... saving your change.
