15 west got to be there before the start
Best of luck everyone. Do your best!
Good luck for everyone running London tomorrow!
Chris J77 - if no-one's told you yet some of your comments from this forum regarding your thoughts on London following the Boston tragedy were included in an article in today's Daily Telegraph!
Aaaagggggghhhhh!
Think I've had about 5 hours sleep last night, not bad for the night before a race.
About to make my second visit to the bathroom already!
Having instant pot of porridge for breakfast.
I'm awake too
Going out for my 5m recovery run soon, before settling back to watch the BBC coverage.
Have fun!
I'm not too worried about the lack of sleep, I rarely get more than a couple of hours the night before a race anyway
Well done last week Ten, we've all got to keep up the streak of smashing pb's today!
I can't update the list but my number is 26896
Best of luck everyone.
Good morning. I am awake before my alarm, and am surprisingly refreshed after about 6 hours sleep. I'll be coming from Hampstead so may bump into some of you at London Bridge but probably won't recognise you. My number (283) will be covered anyway by a big red fleece.
Morning all. 7 hours sleep - not bad. Hope you're all enjoying your morning routine. Bring it on!
First week of mesocycle five completed
Lovely 5m run over the hills this morning, all below recovery heart rate. Very slow up one hill, but repaid on return when I could speed up easily without pushing the heart rate. Sunny and cold, and a bit breezy at the top of the hills.
TV coverage starts in just over ten minutes! Breakfast time.
3:24:36 -- PB by nearly 5 mins. Well happy with that. Although a crap positive split, like always
.
Too shit for my A goal of 3;21 - that's for next year
Hope everyone had a cracking time - looking forward to the results and reports coming in.
Off for steak & chips now. I'm staaaarving.
Congratulations Chick! Fabulous time and great PB!
Some great results coming in.
Great time Chick!!
Just quick note to say I wasn't shit (except a bit, at pacing). 3:06:16. Hurrah! Now off to pub for late lunch, Congrats to Chick & other runners.
Crash and burn! 3.15, was on pace for sub 3 until mile 18 then my body just said no. Not really disappointed as I went out with sub 3 as the only goal and i know it just wasn't possible for me today. I gave it my best. And it was clear all week that I hadn't fully recovered from illness last weekend. Lessons learned.
Great day actually, crowd support top notch. Hope everyone else has had a good run.
Excellent times Chick and Lit
(double post removed)
AWESOME times Lit and 15W
Al - I'd kill for 3:15
Great day for the thread
Great times coming through, 15W, great effort for a 2:50, was that your target? again fantastic effort. Lit, great time, well done. Al 3:15, great time, well done again, great day so far for the P&D marathoners.
Lit and 15W - you both smashed it, congratulations!
Al - fantastic time, regardless of your personal target.
It was hard work keeping up with everyone's times. I started off doing manual calculations, then spotted the "estimated finish time" against each runner, which made it easier. I was willing people over the line
I'm already looking forward to next year!
good work everyone. great running out there today
3.05.48. While it was a pb by six minutes compared to MK last year not sure if the slight improvement justified the vast increase in training. Essentially lost it in the second half of the race and was barely manageing to keep going.
May consider a different plan next year...
Six minutes sound like a great improvement to me for your level of running SR - congratulations!
Great time Surrey! A 6 min. PB is vast - give P&D a leeeetle credit
Just checked my stats: 10th W45 and 97th woman overall (out of 2440 women)
