    Boston site gives projections based on average pace hard to judge due to a) downhill nature of the first six mile and b) conservative nature of a start to a marathon from most people

    Ok, cheers. Not particularly accurate then, given the undulating course.

    Nope but handy enough to have as updates with each 5k split to give you an indication of whether they are on target or not to an extent

    It's not that bad, first 10k are potentially the quickest though. Sure they have to set off bikes with the wheel chair athletes to make sure they don't go too fast.

    Good to see everybody moving nicely and by the looks of it nobody has blown their beans in the first few miles

    I see Joe's 1st 5k has been added, 18:31, 2nd 18:39. Hard to extrapolate without knowing the course.

    Anyone who has ran the course: what's the slowdown like with the hills during the second half?

    There is a bit of a slow down but from 21 onwards it all down so can make time back. I know somebody (me) who ran a 20 second negative split on it. I'm pretty fooking special though ;)

    First half is faster than the second, but there is a net downhill over the entire course (only around 200 feet though). Tough point is Heartbreak Hill, which is around mile 17/18, if memory serves me correctly. Last mile or two are downhill, so if you pace the first 20 miles correctly, you should finish fast. Conditions seem to be perfect.

    No sign of a 10k split for CL yet. Hope it is just a technical glitch...

    Joe should be kissing girls in Wellseley shortly, so you can expect his next split to be slow. ;)

    I've refreshed a few times, does everyone else have Orna's feed frozen at 10k?

    Went through the course last week. 1st six miles are quick, next 10 miles a small bit of undulation, next 5 has a few climbs including HB Hill then ;ast 5 is relatively downhill so I would say if you went out conservative in the 1st 10k the hills should be offset by the downhill and the second half shouldn't be that slow. I think alot of people go out too hard on the 1st 10k due to the downhill and suffer on the climbs later on as a result (Most of this is just based on feedback from people who have ran it and me going over the course profile though so can be taken with a pinch of salt)

    Interesting that Félix is currently winning the women's race. Hasn't Fionnula Britton consistently beaten Félix in the last few years? Should be a good boost for Britton, if Félix can hold onto the lead and take the win.

    Yep but she has beaten her on the track, felix has run a lot of half marathons over the past few years and think this is her 3rd marathon?
