That was a savage run you put in James Howlett :eek: Fantastic stuff, you must be over the moon! I presume you've readjusted your DCM goal - what will you be aiming for now?
Thanks.
Savage is the word alright, I couldn't walk properly until monday... totally worth it though. I got lucky at about mile 6 as I started to pace myself with another chap who was gong slightly above my pace. Between Mile 6-11 groups started forming with people coming and going but he always stayed ahead of the pack so I just kept him as my pace-maker for that part of the race until I was rescued by the 1:30 pacers for the finish.
As for my goal mcmillian suggests I could do 3:10 but theres no chance in hell of that. 3:30 is what I honestly want and is what I am aiming for.
Congratulations on your new PB.
A jump of 7 minutes is a great improvement, well done

Do you want to finish the marathon after giving your all and doing a real good time while pushing yourself to the max and perhaps not really enjoying your marathon experience as you battle the pain
Or
Do you want to run a time that was your aim and that you now know you can do without suffering too much and enjoy the day both before, during and after the marathon.
For those doing your first marathon, remember its your first marathon. You will never get another chance to do a first marathon again, the world record should wait for the second or third marathon.
I'm no expert but its something people should consider before deciding on pace.

Is anyone else suffering from lsr induced stupidness? I mean doing silly things due to being quite tired
Being blessed with natural stupidity I can't say I've noticed a huge difference:D I call to a customer recently and remarked on how her new choice of hair colour really suited her........she replied ' I'm just standing in for Claire'
These things happen to me so often now I don't even get embarrassed. 0 -

That's right. I broke 7 minute mile average for the first time, coming off a 1:48XX HM, just like yourself Ray
I'll most likely be racing it again on Sunday so see you there ray....0 -
