    Sounds like your mile 20 time was wrong - either that or it took about an hour to run your last 6.2 miles.
    Congrats on your time though, that's very good for your first marathon.

    The 3:30 pacers would have had to be at 20 miles in under 2:40, (8 min/mile) so quite rightly would have been 2 minutes down the road at that point!

    Hey guys,

    After a disappointing DCM im eyeing up my next marathon. Im thinking either rotterdam or Edinburgh? Am I mad to go straight into my second marathon?

    Im thinking rotterdam might be a little too soon?

    Any advice appreciated.

    I did my last 6 miles in 58 mins...I clearly died, averaging 9.25 per mile. Overall, I averaged 8.23 which I am happy about.

    The thing is what ever inspiration/motivation I had left was tied to the pacers. I even had a conversation with another runner at that point regarding their pace, as they were definitely out of sight!

    The wall isn't called the wall for nothing.....

    i saw a spectator with a great sign
    "The Wall has a Door"

    It brought a smile to my face & thankfully all the other runners had smashed the wall down by the time i got to it!!!;)

    As I explained above, it is normal that the pacers were out of sight if you went through 20 miles in 1:41:3x, they had to be through 20 miles in 1:39:3x to be on schedule.

    I ran between the 3 pacers all the way around and finished in 3.29.12
    I think they were running a little behind schedule at halfway (I went through in just over 1.45, and two were behind me) so maybe between them speeding up a little and you starting to slow down, they put a big gap into you.

    Hi all
    Hard to believe a week has passed sine big day!Had first run yesterday, a very slow 4 miles, enjoyed it but have to confess to being a bit stiff after.
    I plan on running 3 days a week for the winter, one 4 miler easy, a longer tempo run on a Wednesday or Thursday (7 or 8) and a longer run of 10-15 at the weekend.
    lots of races here in Cork but will aim for half - marathon in December, either Clonakilty or Waterford. Just wondering what other plans people have? Anyone taking a long break from running?
