Lads I know I'm not part of this group but I'm in such pain, highlight today was when I pushed some young girls power up button and I took off sprinting. She lost her ****.

Happy days. All pretty much exactly to plan. Don’t think I had much more in me. Felt like my hamstrings might cramp a few times but they held on. Was so happy in the last couple of miles knowing I was hitting my target as long as I kept the pace at 9.00.

Well done all. Some super times. What a day!

Very similar to my day passinginterest! I had a tight right hamstring from very early on, which turned sore after halfway, and was hoping against hope that I'd make it to the end before it cramped. Luckily it lasted!

And I found passing the 4:00 pacers was so useful - I'd planned not to go with pacers at all but I managed to catch and pass them around mile 20 - from then on I was able to relax a bit and check my watch a bit less obsessively, knowing that as long as I stayed around 9 min miles and they didn't pass me again, I would be safely under 4.

Anyone else go out ahead of the pacemakers. Was like a scene from the prisoner when they tracked me down.

Congratulations to the class of 2019!!

I came into today's race with a calf strain I picked up with a week to go so took it very handy for the first few miles. When I felt comfortable I picked up the pace. I'm thrilled with my time. I'd nothing left to give. Started cramping up with 3 miles to go but pushed on. Very tired now. Well done everybody. It's been a blast!

Target beaten and what a day.. Loved every minute until mile 19 or so when it was case of digging in and getting it done, didn't find the run in easy but friendly faces dotted throughout has such an impact. Stiff/sore but just that - and I don't think any injuries that some rest won't sort.

Well done to all! Some really impressive times

Sunday Runner

Hi everyone!

Will a lot of hullabaloo yesterday with lifts, I was up to 90 last night and didn’t get to logon to wish you all well. I even forgot to bring a pre race snack, water and my electrolyte tablets.

Home now, fed, hydrated and soaked. Having some chocolate and tea.

I’ll check in on Strava and here properly tomorrow and do a full race report. At the finish line I had a bit of a moment, stumbled and was taken into medic tent for some rest and tea. Felt so nauseous and BP dropped through the floor. A lovely man from Mayo ( one of my own, Up Mayo!) came in with me . Only for him I would have been face first into the tarmac. I was crawling after that and couldn’t face the pub. We will have to have a run-meet, I think you guys are just legends!

I left everything on the streets of Dublin and came in at 4:10. Delighted!

Enjoy the rest and catch up during the week. x

pd79

Delighted with 5:15, knees got bad from 14 miles and calls cramped but kept on trucking. Well done everyone !

Wombled

508.57, bang on time.

Well done to everyone here! I missed my target by 5 minutes but surprisingly don’t care! I knew early on it wasn’t going to happen due to some unforeseen issues but made a decision to just go out and enjoy the rest of the race. I am grateful for my health and fitness to be able to run a marathon, no matter what the time. Will chase sub 5 another time. Great getting to know you all over the past few months and lovely to meet some of you today. Thanks again to our fearless mentors

greentea is just wrong

Mines 5hrs. 26min. 51 sec, can someone add it for me? Thank u I'm afraid of breaking the tbl!

Delighted it's done now. Hips were hurting from around 10 miles but powered on. Made the decision then not to chase the time and finish strong. Stopped woth a few friends that had come out to support along the way and glad I did! Will do full race report later

Well done everyone on a super effort and great to meet ye again in mcgrattans after

3boyz

What a great day, am on a high, cant quite believe I did it. Will do race report later but, if someone wouldnt mind putting me in for 4:35:33, i think thats my time, am too tired to get up and look at the phone. Am in a heap, stiff and sore but with a great big smile on my face.
Well done to you all, very impressive group of novices!!

Sorry if I lost people's times, I had to go back a bit to get a working table.

Really happy with how it went, not exactly to plan, but I didn't fall apart either. Kept running all the way, eased up a bit after the last hill on fosters Ave I think, then picked it back up for last 1.5 miles. No real injuries or blister. Sore achilles today. Think I'll take the rest of the Year off to get those healed up properly. We'll done everyone, ye all ran a marathon. Thanks for the support at clonskeagh/Milltown girls.

Report may be later in week.

Would somebody mind adding mine please, thank you. 508.57

Rega

DCM 2019

My training block went really well until the last week. I didn't miss any runs and ran everything nice and slowly.

However, last Saturday, on my last LSR, an easy 8 miles, I tweaked something in my left calf. I foam rolled and rested and hoped it would be OK but I was feeling down for the run in to yesterday.

I slept OK the night before the big day. I got up at 5.30, had my porridge, double checked my gear and left the house in Kilkenny at 6. I was parked up at 7.30, met my friend, bag dropped and made my way to wave 3.

My plan was to start a bit back in the wave and to take it very easy for the first while to see how my leg would react. I had been training for a sub 4 all along but I just wanted to get it finished at this stage. It would have been heartbreaking to put in a 20 week training block, only to pull out after a mile.

All went well for the first few miles. They were very slow for me but there was no reaction. I felt good. I picked up the pace a bit after Stoneybatter and reeled in the 4.20 pacers in the park. The pace was steady and smooth.

The support at Castleknock was phonemonal. I went through there with a huge smile on my face.

I caught up to the 4.10 pacers around Crumlin. I lost time here as there was a huge pack around them and I struggled a bit to get by.

I made the halfway point at 2:03. Feeling good. I had a slow mile at mile 16. I don't know why but it was 30 seconds slower than my steady pace.

I picked it up from here and was passing people the whole time in. Heartbreak Hill didn't bother me (one of the perks of living and training in a hilly area).

I was tipping along nicely when at the far side of the UCD flyover someone stepped across me and I checked my stride. My right leg started to cramp up when I did. Oh no. I pushed through it and it went away but a mile later it came back. I kept going.

The support for the last run in was phenomenal and will never be forgotten. I crossed the line and remembered the advice I was given to keep moving. I did. Slowly.

As I was moving I was overcome with emotion. I nearly burst out crying. My dad popped into my head. He died when I was 12. I'll be the same age next year as he was when he passed away. I don't know why I thought of that but I did.

Only then did I check my watch. 4:01:51. I know I said in my opening post on this thread that if I was just over the 4 hours I'd be gutted but I'm not. I gave it everything on the day. I'd nothing left. My conservative start was necessary to see how my leg would react.

I actually ran a negative split. My second half was 5 minutes faster than my first. Can't believe that.

I got my stuff and got changed. Sorry I couldn't make it to McGrattans. I had a coffee and went back home in the car.

My legs are sore now. I can't believe it's over. Its the toughest thing I've ever done and the most rewarding. The messages of congratulations I got afterwards from family and friends was lovely.

Thank you so much to the mentors here for your guidance and support. It would not have been possible without you. That's a fact. Thank you also to the rest of the posters here. We've become a real family (and support group) the last few months. Best wishes for the future with your running careers!

Huzzah!
