    Well done everyone... What a great day, we couldn't have asked for better weather. The atmosphere was incredible as we turned into Nassau St for last 400 metres or so. I finished in 3:01, absolutely knackered, but delighted and relieved in equal measure - I'd love to run it again next year. Now looking forward to NOT running for a long while!:D

    Hi, Well done everyone. I finished 3.32 and am happy as it was my first marathon. Just looking at the photos. WHat were the different colour numbers for. OK, the elite athletes had yellow, I had a white number as did I think the majority, but some had yellowy green numbers. Just wondering what these were for.
    THanks

    People who said on their application that they were aiming for 4hrs+ were given green numbers so thay could be set further back on the start line.

    Maybe someone could help? hoping to start training next week.

    Thanks

    I'd suggest stabilising for a few weeks at the same level
    between each. Motivating yourself with a race that's 10
    months away may be difficult, so pick some shorter
    distance races in the build-up that you can use for
    some feedback. If you're near dublin you should definitely
    check out the adidas race series, which builds up nicely
    to the marathon.

    I'd also try for something like a 5k or 5mile race around april.

    Good luck.
