April 29, 201214 yr Saw a few Wanderers shirts today, anyone from here do it? Fair fucks if you did it was bloody tough going
April 29, 201214 yr Fair fucks to you too, Henry. I've not walked the dog more than 1/2 a mile today never mind run 26!
April 29, 201214 yr Yes mate 3:40 Conditions where horrific, 8k paid to run but only 6k started and 5k finished. It was like the opening scene from saving private Ryan circa 20miles in, bodies everywhere. How did you get on pal?
April 29, 201214 yr Putting in for the great north run later this year and hopefully start some marathon thus year. I did 5km this morning and that was fair rough.
April 29, 201214 yr London marathon entries open tomorrow for 2013, will be applying to do for third time. Congrats to anyone that ran today.
April 29, 201214 yr London marathon entries open tomorrow for 2013, will be applying to do for third time. Congrats to anyone that ran today. I might put in for it. Last week I ran out of breath going up two flights of stairs so my training going ok. Reckon I can build up enough in a week
April 29, 201214 yr Well done to henry, bc and any body else who survived today.did the blackpool 6 weeks ago but due to illness had 't done anything till this morning,managed to struggle through 9 miles, would'nt fancy doing 26 in that.
April 29, 201214 yr Author Cheers. Well done Birch (twat) that is a fantastic time I did around 4.12 unofficially which Iam fairly pleased about. Just thawing out now.... Time for a pint and big eats
April 29, 201214 yr Other than snow, the weather couldn't have been any worse. Managed it in 3.29, an hour quicker than I though I would when I signed up.
April 29, 201214 yr Fantastic result 3:29 today pal Are you going to do another, I bet you could nock 20 minutes off that in the right conditions? I fancy the Berlin Marathon next September.
April 29, 201214 yr Get involved in the Berlin Marathon. It's amazing. If you want a real tough one do the Snowdonia Marathon. That's a real experience and a half but great fun and views.
April 29, 201214 yr Fantastic result 3:29 today pal Are you going to do another, I bet you could nock 20 minutes off that in the right conditions? I fancy the Berlin Marathon next September. Not sure if I'll do another at the moment, it was just a tick in the box of life goals. Didn't think I would be any good at it. Hats off to anyone that does and keeps doing it. Having to crawl upstairs should be from alcohol only and not marathon pain.

Having to crawl upstairs should be from alcohol only and not marathon pain. that's a great time if you've just decided to do it as a one off. if you are a young un, get some serious training done, you'll knock at least 45 mins off that.
April 30, 201214 yr Author Cracking effort SY86 how old are you? Born in 86 by any chance? What about you Birch? Please so you both in your 20's I will be pissed off if you are older than me My mate did it in 3.42 not bad for a 60odd year old. Stiffer than a stiff thing today
April 30, 201214 yr 27 Your mate must be in great shape for 60 odd year old, if I could finish a marathon at that age I would be happy let alone come in under 4.
April 30, 201214 yr fair play to anybody who does a marathon, no matter what time they finish in. I did a "cross country" half marathon (which was a lot harder than the previous "road" half marathins I have done previously) a few weeks ago and it nearly killed me, the last thing I wanted to do when I crossed the line was turn back and run back to the start again! I'm not so sure I've got a full 26 miles in me, so will stick to the 13 milers for the time being I reckon

April 30, 201214 yr Author 27 Your mate must be in great shape for 60 odd year old, if I could finish a marathon at that age I would be happy let alone come in under 4. He is a very fit bloke done the Ironman a few times coming in at under 14 hours.
April 30, 201214 yr Yeah born in 86 and I'm 26. Saw a couple of old timers near the end who had been ahead of me for 24 miles. Great to see that kind of endurance at that age.

April 30, 201214 yr I Didn't do it, but i did do the London marathon, last week its the 1st of 3 this year.
