    @Nik Congratulations and what a great action shot! It looks like you’re running on air…

      He is running on Air in the Alphaflys 😂
      Congrats, great effort. Just finished my long run ending in 4:15min/km race pace.
      Had the OG Alphaflys today. Prefer them over the 2‘s.

            Thanks guys always nice to run in great conditions.
            @Dmart sounds like you're well on track to hit your sub 1:30 goal if you're running long runs that fast already. You feeling positive?

              Well I did only the last 4K in race pace. I am confident about a PR which would be sub 1:40. on a good day and I I get the fuelling right (which I practice currently) I believe I can. Still have 5 weeks of training, although the last 10 days will be taper.

                Cool. Finishing long runs at race pace is a great thing to do if it doesn't cause injury.
                What's your fuelling strategy? I've had to practice these things quite a bit for 100k and half ironman, and will need to devise a whole new strategy for the full ironman I'll do in 30 degree heat this summer.

                  Just finished my first Marathon yesterday with a time of 4:10. I was expecting to finish around 4:30 and surprised myself. its been about a year since i got into running and super excited to sign up for more races

                      Great, beating your goal by 20 mins is huge. You going to stick with marathon distance?

                          Definitely. I'll probably do a couple halves throughout the year as well. I moved to an area that's very outdoorsy which has made getting outside easier. This has just been so fun to see tangible improvement.

                            Has anyone here run the San Fransisco marathon? Was considering it, a little pricey compared to most marathons but I guess everything is a little pricey in SF.

                              Did a route on Sunday that I've wanted to do for awhile - two laps around Portsmouth. Went anti or counter clockwise first, then stopped at home to refill bottles and went back around the other way. Was a really good time.

                                Nice one.
                                Finished 12x800m repeats this morning and now off to London. Try to log in a 90minute longrun on Thursday. Hyde Park or Battersea? I stay in South Kensington, so right in between.

                                  You could do both parks in 90 mins. Hyde bugger and more famous landmarks, Battersea bit more neighbourhood-y with more of a good road around it.

                                    Anyone going for the new vaporfly 3 or garmin 965? I just got the alphafly so no need for new shoes but that amoled screen is making my 945 look pretty dim.

                                      I broke down and got an Apple Watch mainly to use as a phone whilst running or any outdoor activities. The heart monitors, pace features, and screen brightness are nice.

                                      I still love mechanical watches though and wear them more than the Apple, but it definitely is nice for sports.

                                        Had to skip some marathon training a couple weeks back due to flu. Was a bit daunted by a 19 miler this weekend but enjoyed it immensely and was happy with my pace. Maybe my legs were feeling fresh from the brief pause in training, but I felt like I had more in the tank and feel less intimidated by the prospect of an extra 7 miles to hit the marathon distance. I’ll be overjoyed if I can maintain this pace come race day and hit a sub 4-hour.

                                          @jerkules this is great going mate and I am sure you will be able to maintain that pace come race day. The last 6 miles are mind over matter but looks like you are smashing it. Mental how many calories get burned during these runs isn't it
