    Would the Connemarathon be seen as the hardest one in Ireland?

    Some of the quadtrathon's in Inishowen would definitely be harder.

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me a real sense of how difficult the climbs/up hill sections are for this marathon? Infographics are not as good as real experience. For example would they be longer and steeper then say the two hills you encounter on the phoenix park half marathon? Would they be as hard/steep as the hills you encounter at the run the line events in the Dublin mountains? Any comments from experinced connemarathon runners would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi folks,
    Does anyone know if there are any pacers for the full marathon? If so what times are they pacing?

    Cheers!

    There is a timing mat at half-way on the outskirts of Leenane, but I can't for the life of me remember if there's also a clock. I think there is, but someone else might confirm.

    No, I've never seen one. Why don't you bring your own watch?

    Pretty sure there was a clock on half way point for marathon last year, it was beside the timing matt.
    Regardless of which as you said its good idea to have your own watch

    I must be blind then - I've never seen one! Even so, I'd still suggest bringing a watch!

    You just missed them because you're running the course so fast...

    enter now, if it's still open it's usually sold out by now, 26 miles would be a nice training run for the ultra but I'm no xpert.

    From the Connemarathon website:
    As the 2014 Connemarathon is close to selling out please check that you are registered to avoid disappointment.

    If you want to do it, sign up today!

    It should be the longest distance you can recover from so that it does not impact on the rest of your training.

    For some people (generally the ones who are still fairly new to running) this would be not much more than 20 miles. For a seasoned ultra runner it can be well beyond 30 miles. You need to find your best distance yourself.
