It is. I got a small PB there 3 years ago. Took about 70 seconds off my previous time, but was hoping to go quite a bit faster. Even after all the research I was taken a bit by surprise by some of the hills. The one at Halfway and the one near the end. A killer that one. Just before you head into the Park.

ISOP, I find that the climbs that everyone talks about turn out to be 'doable' on the day. It's often the lesser known ones that get ya!

She was only 10 seconds behind the men's pace at one point! For mile 15 I think

Agonisingly close to course record for Keitany, looks just outside it though

Some finish to the men's race. What a comeback from Kitata....thought Desisa had it wrapped up when he dropped Kamworor. Nice to see him back in the winners circle.

Well done men.

Club mate ran Dublin last Sunday as target race for a his first sub3. Finished in 3.01, disappointed, took a few/slap of pints and flew to New York on Friday to run it with another cub runner who didn’t run Dublin.

Finished today in 2.55 today. Delighted for him and broke a load of marathon “rules” in the process :-)

2:55 is a savage run around New York. Can definitely go a bit faster on a more favourable course.

My tale started with some old hip flexors issues rearing their head in the first half and then my left ITB suffered badly on the run down off the Queensborg Bridge. It was battle after that. I was fighting the good fight until the drag up 5th Ave before the entering the park. But the course won in the end and the last 5k was a slow march home......

FYI the target was a London GFA of sub 3:10.

This is a great event and the experience was amazing even if the result wasn't what I wanted. Worth the trip:)

She should have run a bit faster in the second half. I mean, 1.06.58. C'mon.

:eek:

I liked the story about the agents running with the president of Estonia.
