Hi all 3.56!

Superb mate . I knew after the injury ravaged training schedule sub 4 was too much for me. I wanted sub 4:15 and got 4:14 So really chuffed . I was tempted with sub 4 but i knew deep down it was too much of a tall order . I got 4:51 last time so can’t be disappointed.
Well done everyone else, it’s a hard slog. !

8 pints in now lads, refreshments are key!! Yep went off too quick, but held the pace until around the 21 mile mark when for some unknown reason i decided a piss would be a great idea, not so much, was a struggle after that, but lessons learned, got the sub3 but can do better, huge congrats to all of you that smashed it today. In the meantime I shall now beat all these plastic paddys as drinkin guinness in mulligans!!!

Excellent Top Gun. I knew you were capable of sub 3. Did you smash it and get the pacing to perfection this time?

Managed a sub4 too! Last few miles were horrific. Legs were not feeling good today, even early on but achieved my goal. Only just got battery on the phone @gaz76 but wasn't in town mate, the Guinness went down a treat!

No mate blew the pacing as usual, your big help to me always. Your tip to get pull up bar when i had covid helped so much, just a stepping stone again this one, thanks for all the advice

Got pain in both knees :(

Was a very good dancer in my younger years. Still decent when my knees hold up. Went to a wedding 2 weeks ago and dance for an hour.

Havent run in 2 weeks both knees are wrecked. I'm mean, my knees have always been creaky, but damn!

All I want to do is run 2 miles a day. Nothing intense or even.moderatelt arduous. just your most basic baseline of fitness running and my knees can't even tolerate that. A 10 minute a mile pace is painful these days :(

I'm just saddened about the whole thing..Wifey thinks I should consider surgery. But I have friends (2) who did and it wasn't very helpful :(

Also, considering sleeping with slabs of purple cabbage around my knees. Some have sworn by it.

At this point, any non too invasive remedies I'm willing to try.

How about cycling?

First marathon for me & finished it in 4 hours and 29 minutes. Buzzing with that.

& to the blue that spotted my City shirt this morning, told me I could do it with my first marathon nerves & proceeded to stick with me until the 22 mile mark, you restored my faith in humanity. I hope you see this.

The misses bought one of those in the basement. It hurts my butt and TMIv( my balls feel numb once I get off) if I ride for more than 15 minutes.

Apparently the hurt butt will get better with time. But the numb balls :(
