forgot to say thanks Gobi for working out the paces etc for me and Doppy for the valuable endorsement. Yes Doppy it does sound like a good confidence builder. I will have a think about when I'd do it since I am pacing 1:45 at a half 3 weeks out from my target marathon (which would otherwise be the obvious day to do that run).
Do your best Doppy that's all you can do , its not as if this is the last mara you can run so don't put yourself under too much pressure .Enjoy it and then see where you are at, and whip the 3 hr pacer as said in the final 0.2 miles if things are going well
I think there's little chance of me beating the 3hr pacer. In my dreams
Best of luck, doppy - do it for us old birds
Gobi: that last long run recommendation sounds ace - I shall try that myself. My target is a bit slower than marrows' (aiming for sub 3:20) so I would then go a tad slower than 9mm, right?
...and the slightly less mature ones too! Good luck in Barcelona Doppy.
Congratulations Doppy, not sub 3 but still a time that most of us old birds can only dream of! I've followed your thread with interest and you are an inspiration. Don't give up on marathons yet.
Well done Doppy
, a pb is a pb , take time and reflect , I think with one final push you can do it you are so so close now so don't give in.
Congratulations! You can enjoy the hot weather now it's over!
Congratulations and now relax
Top run Doppy! You must be well up there on all time UK V50 rankings.
Excellent, we done Doppy. Having spoken to a few people who ran I know it was a tough day as it got rather warm. Don't give up now though, so close, and on another day you'll get there.
+1 Well done Doppy!
excellent work, and well deserved sangria!
Congratulations on your new PB Doppy! I know you were looking at sub 3, but you were so close. Hope you enjoyed the post race sun & sangria! Any reflections on how the race went?
Congratulations Doppy, amazing effort, by all accounts it was very hot, so under good conditions a sub 3 may have been on,
Pssst everyone... doppy has a place in London marathon too in
