    Best of luck tomorrow, not that you really need it.

    If one wanted to track AMK tomorrow, there is a live tracker here

    Now if only I could somehow figure out his real life name......;)

    I tried RunningKing, AuldManKing, RK and AMK and none of them worked. Looks like the fecker has changed his name again.:p

    You forgot his original username. That might work ;)

    Lads the support on here is unreal. Seriously unreal.
    If only I was this popular in real life :)

    KU thanks for posting the live tracker.
    For my FB friends on here, there'll be a FB tracker on my timeline too.

    Thanks for the support, really means a hell of a lot to me and will mean I have no option but to hit the target or face ridicule of Gavlor type proportions.
    If I'm looking like I'll miss sub 3 by a few seconds, I'll be hanging around just before the finish line for 10-15 mins ;)

    You will not. If you don't have a faster PB than me by this time tomorrow I will be having a quiet word with your sports therapist and will have her flog you from now till your next attempt (and not the good kinda flogging ;) )

    Bit of a twinge in the hamstring at 22 but Was on 6:48 pace till mile 24, then All going well til 25 miles.
    Sniper took a shot and hit me in the hammys and the calf. Got me again about half a mile later.
    3 hour pacer past me with about 800 to go, I thought it was more. Stopped to stretch and could only jog from there.
    Couldn't believe it when I seen the time, thought it was gone by 1-2 mins.

    Lads, obviously disappointed by 37 seconds, but it's a 23 min PB for me and my 3rd marathon. It's all about experience and I got lots on this training cycle. Bigger and better things ahead.

    Think thats the "main thing" today, a 23min pb in your 3rd marathon is fantastic running. Well done again sir.

    26 odd miles at sub 7 min pace. Sure sub 3 is an arbitrary number ;) great PB well done.

    Great run AK. I know it might be disappointment not to hit the sub 3 (as tRR says and arbitrary number) but its good to see you are following in my foot steps. Why break 3 when you can claim a huge PB and then smash it next time round. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. Any day you can PB by 24 min is a hell of a run.

    Sorry I should have said its an arbitrary time unless you are the 3 hour pacer :)
