Evans cycles do interest free credit don’t they? Sure I got my first bike from there on that.

I bought a Focus Izalco race road bike, love it. When I was in Cyprus early this year we rented bikes and I was coincidentally given another Focus road bike, not the same as mine but was fantastic. Not saying Get one but I’d recommend one of them personally.

Is it an endurance bike mate for comfort or more race focused?

London Marathon in the morning. Good luck to anyone on here who's doing it.

In the middle I guess, it’s nothing that you’d see on the Tour De France but it’s quick enough, I’ve done 50 miles plus on it and found it comfortable enough, proper shorts helps in that regard plus having it set up for you correctly.

Just watching the London Marathon.
Amazing effort by all those involved.
But that Kipchoge, the men's winner, is an absolute machine. He's averaged 13mph - staggering!
He's just won his 10th marathon in a row. He looks as though he could carry on with ease.

Wouldn’t beat me at hill sprints though.

The records keep falling for me, beat my 5k (22.08) and 10k (44.55) personal bests today, first time I've ever been sub 45 minutes for 10k. It's weird because I dont particularly feel that fit, definitely carrying a few pounds more than I should be.

3:57:38 in the London Marathon for me, so I'm happy with that. Mostly sticking to halves and maybe the odd quiet marathon now though!

awesome effort , i would love to get under the 4 hour mark one day.
Well done on that. I think I've missed the boat with marathons. I ran half-marathon distances in training when I was in my twenties, but never got round to running a marathon. Now I'm 57, I am pretty exhausted after 10k.3:57:38 in the London Marathon for me, so I'm happy with that. Mostly sticking to halves and maybe the odd quiet marathon now though!

I ran my first Marathon on Sunday, London and finished in 4hrs 45 mins.. age 46.. I put a lot of training in & felt ok during the race..
I could have gone a little quicker but didn’t know what to expect when hitting new territory at 20 miles plus..
Great day & event loved it.. didn’t think I would want to run another but seriously thinking about London next year & manchester too.
Thanks to Stuuuuu! on here for some really helpful advice earlier this year

Brilliant. Well done @shady and all other runners. And thanks for the useful tips and encouragement from Bluemooners on this thread.
