Just adding time for debut marathon Dcm. Always said I'd never run one but got caught up in the training with my club mates and entered on deadline night as I had managed to stay injury free. A definite eye opener. Ran stupidly considering I was running my first one. Passed half way around 1:25 but knew I was starting to suffer way too early. A serious mental battle to not leak too much time on the last 10k or so. No consistency to my splits. Slow k, fast k, getting passed and feeling like sh*t followed by getting a serious burst of energy and passing the same people again.
Serious lessons learned.
Crazy training point 1- doing 3x23milers at what turned out to be my actual race pace (knew at the time it was way too fast but didn't have the courage to speak up)
This meant I wasnt recovered properly for midweek marathon paced run.
Crazy training point 2- running 10k time trial at 10k pace 8 days before marathon to help deplete glycogen stores prior to carb loading.
Overall happy with result but felt if I had trained more sensibly I had more in me. Ran the last 23 miler 3 weeks before marathon and was fresh as a daisy and holding back.
Full of niggles since and finding it hard to get the love back. Anyway, thats me for this year. Happy overall. Pb's at every distance except 5k. Highlights were taking 7 mins of the half marathon pb, the atmosphere at DCM and the pints I had after (nicest tasting pints ever!)
Would love to get down to mid 16 for 5k next year, break 35 for 10k and train more sensibly for the marathon to see where it takes me!

Interesting perspective on what to an outsider looked a great marathon debut. On the positive side all those targets should be achievable in the short term.

Don't get me wrong DL I was happy with the result. If someone had told me back in June before marathon had entered my head that I would get a result like that in Dublin I would have bit their hand off. But don't we all get greedy and want more and try to be as best as we can be. Its what drives me on anyway. I think I could have achieved the same result or possibly better with more sensible training (maybe not I'll never know!?). I know the first thing that crossed my mind after crossing the finish line was "how can I do better next year". There was absolutely no sense of euphoria that I hear people on about. If anything it was an anti climax!
I hope people don't take that the wrong way. Its just what I felt. Or maybe I'm just an auld dry sh*t!

Unexpected update with a season's best at the local SOW 5k I'll hold fire posting on the 2016 thread as I feel it's going against why it was created in the first place.

There's no need for that. The idea wasn't a bad one, just needs a bit of polishing up.

S'ok, beep beep is a clubmate and I know him 'IRL'. Pretty sure he got my joshing tone....

Ps, polishing ideas welcome...
