Dublin city marathon 28/10/2018

KJ · 29-10-2018 10:03am

Yesterday was my 2nd marathon. The first was Dublin in 2015 when I had no training and naively thought I could do it. Finished in 5:08. This time I had trained. At the 30km mark I was on course for a 3:54 finish but the last 12kms took it out of me and I finished in 4:35. Still delighted with that time and I felt much better throughout than the time before.

Pretty much the same here , 30km I was at 3:02 finished in 4:28. Last 12 was tough

My fourth DCM and best yet - managed to do an even split and a PB in 3.26.00 at the age of 58 so happy out.

DC. · 29-10-2018 10:36am

2:39:45 PB for me, around 3 mins faster than last year.

Here’s to 2 weeks rest!

I was very disciplined with my training for 12 weeks. Made sure that my long runs were at the correct intensity so that I was getting the benefit from them, but also so that I recovered quick enough to be able to do a session on the Tuesday. Did 9 x 20 milers, 2 x 21, and 1 x 22. The day of the Dublin half in PP I ran 11km on my own in the park at c4.05 pace before the race and then jumped into the race and kept the same but felt really strong and ran the half in 1.23 so my avg pace for 20 miles was 4.00p/km. that gave me confidence so the next week I ran 20 @ 2.55 marathon pace and after that I felt 2.50 was on!

You post up your plan and the pace times

Ultrapercy 2:29:47!!!! Absolutely fcuking delighted for him. 20 odd years of marathon running an still running PB's

Thanks very much. Its an unbelivable feeling. I honestly had given up hope of ever doing it. I never believed yesterday either untill I hit the blue carpet.
A lad I work with who has been helping me this year (intoduced hr training and high mileage) told me "you dont need belief you need training" and he was right. Marathon running is a very tough game at every level. Bad days out number good days by about 10 to 1. If you asked me to pick out a day that I felt good since last May Id struggle but it was worth it.
Yesterday a gang of 11 friends of mine from home were running as part of a fundraiser for another good friend who suffered a brain injury after falling ill playing a masters league soccer match for Straide and Foxford United last December. He is currently in Dun Laoighre rehabilation hospital but was on the course yesterday at 24 miles in his wheelchair assisted by his wife and brothers. I honestly cannot describe in words the emotion of seeing him. Im not one whos given over to sentimentality and Ive been called cynical at times but that moment will stay with me forever.
To finaly achieve a lifetime goal is fantastic but under those circumstances its extra special.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the help support and arguments over the years. Keep on dreaming because you can make dreams come through

sca21 · 29-10-2018 11:02am

3.34 for me which bang on my target. I felt 3.30 was overly ambitious but will be back for that another day!
A 7 minute pb with a negative split. Not a bad days work. Third DCM and by far my best, the support really makes this race very special. Well done everyone who trained and put in the hard work.

wookiesleep · 29-10-2018 11:08am

Four minutes off the target of 3.10, finishing on 3.14. I can't say i'm too upset though and happy with how I managed the run.

It's crazy in my mind how cramps appear, or let me know they are a possibility during the marathon when they don't seem to be an issue in training. Good pacing up to 28km. I started to get that initial tightness indicating cramp onset with the hamstrings down the line. Reduced the pace by a few seconds per Km to limit the risk.

From 33km the pace took a hit and some Kms was losing up to 30 secs on my pace per Km.

Overall I'm happy enough though, I think I read my body as best I could in tailoring the pace to what the max I could get on the day. Body feeling pretty fresh at work this morning and already planning for next years marathons, so i'll take that as a positive reflection on how the day went.

Doyler152 · 29-10-2018 11:44am

Smached my pb by 37mins
Ran a 3.03.31 yesterday but really paying for it now. Was holding with the sub 3 pacers till mile 18 then it was just survival mode from that point on.
Delighted with the 3.03 and that's my last
Going out on a personal high.

You post up your plan and the pace times

Training was as such:
Monday - rest
Tues - usually km or mile repeats hard with good w/u & c/d, until about 5 weeks out when Tues became another recovery day
Wed - MLR @ same effort as LR, peaked @ 15m (least favourite session of week)
Thurs - Recovery 5/6m @ c4.45 pace
Fri - tempo (really important session)
Sat - easy run with strides
Sun - LR with easy start and picking up pace to about 4.15 finishing pace

Obviously that’s a generalisation and every week was different depending on circumstances. What helped me big time was getting runs done on commute time. MLR on Wed was ran home from work, Thurs recovery was on way to work, and Fri was home again. By fitting 3 runs a week (sometimes 4) into a commute it really made the training possible. I was home and finished by 7 / 7.30, instead of just putting on the runners at that time! Made it more palatable for the wife too

paul471966 · 29-10-2018 12:53pm

3:00:10 what can I say. a painfull PB

I saw that the TD Damien English had ran 3:06 which is a very respectable time and, like every other time I looked at today, I was interested in the splits.

According to the splits on the DCM app, he ran the final split from 30k to the finish at sub-5 minute pace. Impressive considering that's faster than both the winner Asafa Bekele and national champion Mick Clohisey managed.

Now, I know there's a difference between gun time and chip time and that some people's start times are wrong but the app records the time of day you cross each mat (isn't half-way at 10:58.26 and finish at 12:21.55 a 1:23 second-half whatever way you look at it?), so I'm not sure how that accounts for it?

More than likely, there is a good explanation for it, but I haven't seen any other weird ones.

See splits attached.

He has denied it and said 3:48. The photos and video will prove all

Thanks for that. For your tempo how far did u run and was it at half pace/marathon pace or faster.

Just love reading about this stufg

Is it just me or is DCM getting better every year. The support was phenomenal yesterday

wookiesleep · 29-10-2018 1:42pm

Out of curiosity what distance is the norm to cover over the distance for an average runner. I try my best to take the right lines but still come out a fair bit off the 42.2. I know it doesn't make a huge difference but still nice to get 30 secs or so off.

42.61 - 2014
42.50 - 2015
42.43 - 2017
42.41 - 2018

Did it yesterday for the first time. My watch (garmin 910xt) gave 42.4?, and my iPhone which I carried to record for Strava gave 42.9.
I tried to pick the short line on all corners. I guess different things can affect GPS accuracy.

The course is measured with a jones counter, an instrument which is much more accurate than any gps watch so even though most watches will read over the distance, the course itself is almost certainly 42.2k to IAAF standards. The time you ran is your chip time, not your watch time as gps watches just aren't precise enough.

Tempo would have increased as the programme went on. Initially it would have started as an 8 mile run with 2 w/u - 4 tempo - 2 c/d. Would have peaked at maybe 13 miles of which 7 would have been at tempo. Then in the last month or so I did no tempo and Friday was another recovery day.

I tried to do all tempo @ half marathon pace but sometimes that was a struggle on a Friday evening!

wookiesleep · 29-10-2018 2:39pm

Ah I know the course is measured correctly. It was more a question/onservance on what is possible if you run the correct line.

AlanPat · 29-10-2018 3:15pm

To the lady who picked up the €50 off the ground just after the start, you owe me a drink!!!
Flew off with the 4 hour pacers and was comfortable until I emptied at 25k, real struggle to get home, finished 04:14, still 5 mins better than last year so I’m chuffed with that.

zico10 · 29-10-2018 3:44pm

On page 21 of the Race Programme, it gives lists of the prize funds. One of the headings is "Time Bonus (Irish Athletes)". Can every Irish athlete who broke these times expect to get some prize money?

I’d say a lot if it is down to how you teke corners and you position on the road

Very little I'd imagine, satellite gps just isn't that accurate that it can pinpoint your position down to a square metre on the road. The signal is a pulse as well so it's not constantly sending information. It's basically connecting a load of dots together. I bet if you ran every single tangent on a course, it would still come back with a different reading to the measured course. Everything has a degree of inaccuracy when measuring even the jones counter that measures a course which is why they have a short course prevention method built into IAAF protocols.

What gives a better degree of measurement, a school ruler or something that measures to a nanometer? But both will still have innacuracies. You can only measure by using reference points and some measures have a bigger tolerance than others. Which is why even running tangents won't give a very accurate measure of how far you really ran on gps, the tolerance is larger and the method of measurement isn't quite good enough to pull off that level of precision yet.

Run a lap around a 400m track and you will see this.

AlanPat · 29-10-2018 5:16pm

Rumours is KBC sponsoring next year.

The Black Oil · 29-10-2018 5:16pm

Strange that the actual date is not on the t-shirt, in keeping with previous years. I'm not one to complain about shirts, btw. Probably an oversight.

Productive day for me, 3:57 compared to 4:11 from 2017.

Why not just sync your Strava account to your Garmin Connect and save yourself the hassle (it'll automatically push over activities from GC to Strava.

I don't know if that would be a good thing now, I'd love to see it televised out to everyone but the coverage might suffer as a result and get watered down to the levels of some of the big marathons. I thought the coverage on the live stream yesterday was excellent even though Ian O'Riordan annoys me a little in the first half commentary. The JTG lads were excellent and the actual coverage of the race was brilliant imo, they didn't miss any of the breaks in the lead groups and showed the whole race up front. I'd go as far as saying that the coverage was one of the best I've seen in years and was done on probably a fraction of the cost of all the other marathons which are broadcast on major TV stations. I think it just shows how good the organising committee behind the DCM are.

If they could keep that while taking it to TV, it would be brilliant but in all likelihood, it wouldn't happen and all the coverage would get watered down.

That's a good point, I was only praising the stream yesterday after the race as I was away last year and watched it on YouTube, of course people are interested in the lead men\women but it's great that the DCM stream shows all the runners at various parts of the race.

You’re right there, but I only got the watch recently, second hand cheaply enough, after my previous device died. Turns out I need an ant+ stick which didn’t come with it. Will get one sometime, but the phone does the trick for recording and can check pace on watch.

Actually really happy with that, I stopped for a comfort break for a second just after the 30K mark and the 3:50s went past me. I settled back into my pace but they moved up the road about a minute or so it seemed. I wasn't keeping my eye on them much to be honest. Struggled a bit around Clonskeagh where the pace dropped to 9:20s but managed to get my arse back in gear going up the UCD flyover and drove home my best from there passing people at a decent rate (unlike last year's run/walk at this stage). Last 3+ miles were 8:44, 8:35, 8:27, 7:44 (pace for half mile).

boydkev · 30-10-2018 8:31am

Delighted with my time of 3.18.52, Missed my target of 3.15 but my time is still a PB by 13 minutes.
I was going really well until miles 22 and still looked like 3.15 was in sight but a niggle in left calf slowed me down, But managed to run through it.

Over 3 mins off my pb but just happy I ran the whole thing without stopping and over the disappointment now. My target was a bit ambitious after a messy few weeks.

DubOnHoliday · 30-10-2018 9:36am

My first marathon. My half marathon time of 1:38 gave me a bit of room to work with in getting under 4. I really decided I’m the two weeks before that I would stay comfortable in my first marathon and that’s how i did it. Started at the back of wave 2 (waiting for loos!) which really helped with taking it easy. Ran two splits of 1:54 each to finish in 3:48. Really happy with that and felt good all the way bar the last mile when the super support pulled me home. A wonderful race, nearly got emotional at the support sometimes

thank god that training block is over and back to hill running for the next while. Will I be back? ... when does registration open?
