    Really thinking of running this one. I'm in Paris that weekend for work anyway. Worried that I'd be alone if I got injured though. It would be only my 2nd marathon (Dublin this year was great- no problems at all and ran 3hr49.04)
    Perhaps if we got a group together......

    This is a great marathon , well organised and great support , there is a slight rise in the last few km, I wouldn't call it a hill , .

    I have entered this and really looking forward to it. Training has gone to plan so far and I am up to 18 miles on my LSR. The weather has been benign so far and I'm hoping it keeps up. Won't feel the time go until April :).

    Got the cert sorted this week, so all the red tape in order. Struggling a bit with the training in the last few weeks tbh. I have a few niggles and a bit of a drag on the chest. Think the mileage has caught up with me as I did not have much of a base before starting the marathon training plan. I feel like I peeked 5 weeks ago. Still I am pleased I have stuck religiously to the plan which will help me mentally on the day. Hopefully when I start the taper Sunday week I will start to come around again. It's getting close now folks :)

    Anyone know at what point they hand out gels during the race? Can't see anything on the website.

    No mention of them Toffee.

    I am delighted to see that they use bottles instead of quarter filled cups though.

    Interesting to see Siobhan O'Doherty running 2h 45min 05s in Paris today - for the 13th female over all. https://results.athlinks.com/ct/results/23772/lc/en

    Warm day. Only real hill in last 10k as you come up from the Seine. Lots of water every 5k plus bananas. Always surrounded by other runners. Music bands every few k. Good atmosphere. (Not as good as Dublin) Medal and T-shirt ok.
