Well done all, i knocked 41 minutes off my previous PB...felt really strong for the entire thing. Ran a reverse race, I was 10 minutes quicker over the second half...roll on 2017.

Was it mainly dehydration??

Well done all.

I'm putting it down to that anyway. My runs up to this point have been building up well.

Fair play to all the runners yesterday.

Passed him in the park and he was struggling even then. Bloody tough enough without doin something like that.

What happens if you trained for a marathon and took a chest infection the weekend of it? Just run the bollocks out of it?

Well done everyone on finishing.

Didn't happen for me yesterday at all - got a bad shoulder strain from mile 10 on, it was mildly sore all week and turned into agony for the rest of the race. Got it massaged a few times and sprayed etc.

Came in around 4:15ish, was hoping for 3:50 - can't explain it and didn't enjoy it at all, was strongly thinking of turning right at the Walkinstown roundabout only I had to get a flight and my phone, keys and wallet were in the bag drop.

Disappointing after all that training, but still 4:15 while injured!
