Any other participants?
I just completed Manchester so I'm still recovering from that, and Liverpool will be my second marathon of the year (and third overall). I have heard that there are a few hills and that it can also be a bit windy, so I'd be interested to hear any other views on it.

Doesn't look too bad,bit up hill at the start out to the football grounds,then downhill back.They key will be which way the wind blows for the last 4 miles.If it's behind you along the prom then happy days,but if it's against you then it's a killer.I've had both in different races.
I managed a little two mile recovery run today. Legs are still very tired and a bit grouchy. I'm going very gently at this point.
Just enjoy it if you're not on for a PB ?
Great race, though, and obviously the medals are awesome.
Penny Lane is a PITA - just running down it to say you have. It's an annoyance I could happily live without.
The Liverpool Marathon that started in Birkenhead and went through the Tunnel was a nicer route.
I am doing Liverpool this year, it will be my 5th Marathon of the year and 6th in 6 months though. I am also running the Asics (Brathay) Windermere Marathon the week before Liverpool, so I certainly aren't expecting a PB at Liverpool.
Head over to the Paris Forum, there are a number of us from there heading up to do Liverpool and also the Liverpool Half. Orbutt on there is a local who runs it every year and will tell you everything that you need to know about it.
I also have a Club Mate from Waveney Valley to meet up with in Liverpool too.

I'd not drive into town. Plenty of trains around.
Travelodge New Brighton is walking distance to the train.
Failing that any TL on the wirral - you can drive to a station and train over.
