My legs still don't appear to be controlled by me (at lest when going down stairs). I'm already considering Chester in October though. I can definitely get 3:05 next time

I was amazed to see Paula Radcliffe is still the women's world record holder by an eye watering 2 minutes in a time set 14 years ago.
With all the enhanced diets and sports science and climate rooms they have today it seems extraordinary that she was able to do that without being on the hard stuff. She always tested clean so we have to assume it's genuine but it is truly incredible.

Couple of our lady runners who did it took an hour longer than planned, their pen didn't start until 10.50, they'd been waiting since 9.30 and stood in that sun and heat couldn't have been good even before the race.

I should imagine that the only person who thought Felonious meant anything like that, is you. What does that make you, I wonder?

Must admit I've never quite understood the clamour to do London , not more than once anyway, there are lots of well run much smaller marathons in beautiful locations which don't involve not starting until many of the runners are half way round !

The smaller marathons attract more “runners”. London attracts those that just want to do a marathon. For them having the massive crowds is a big motivator when trying to drag yourself around, it’s easier running along side people your own ability than being a fun runner in a small marathon being on your own an hour or more behind the serious athletes. The slow start is a draw back but once you get past that there is far less congestion. It’s a great event, organised very well. I was very lucky to get in the only time I entered the ballot. I did it and it was hard but I probably only did 25% of the training I should have done.

I just have this vision of training for 6 months for London, taking on the advice of loading up on fluids for a hot day, then finding yourself standing around in a pen for 90 minutes, and when you finally get to walk rather disappointingly across the start line you suddenly have the realisation you desperately need a piss!

Did you watch it you ignorant pleb? Oh dear, insults straight away, how the mask slips under the slightest bit of teasing! Yes, I saw it. You're right he probably lost about 60 seconds in total. I was taking the piss out of your racism on the Merkels Lads thread. Apologies if this went over your head or touched a nerve! Probably a bit too soon/raw? No teasing in your comment at all you lying troll. No wonder you're blocked by so many posters
