Brilliant you two, I take my hat off to you.

As you guys may know I am taking part in my first full marathon in York next Sunday;

The Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon Sunday 8th October 2017

I am being realistic in my completion time aiming for 4 hours. Training has gone well over the last 6 months and this time I am running for myself (not for a charity)

Will update this thread post race.

Yesterday I took part in the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon with the race being held in York. This was my first full marathon so I was uncertain of what to expect. The longest training run I'd completed was 20 miles so I was particularly concerned about the last 6 miles. I had read that the crowd and other runners help you through the last 6 miles. I had set my self what I thought to be a sensible target time of 4 hours. I include a couple of pics from the event and my Garmin watch time;

Pre race trying to look calm however the nerves are just under the surface.

Crossing the finishing line feeling elated and hurting.

At home today.

Unofficial Garmin watch time.

My official time was 4 hours 7 minutes and 1 second. Happy with that! However, since the race my body has been and is still hurting. Will I do another marathon? maybe when the memory of the pain and suffering of this one is totally forgotten. This challenge I set myself has to be one of the hardest

super job @den1mhead & @Black Orchid

so much inspiration for a simple guy like me

Congrats @den1mhead!!!  Curious to know splits.  Last 10k is always awful no matter how perfectly you pace yourself.  From the looks of it you ran a pretty evenly split race.

good on ya @den1mhead  & @Black Orchid !

Very nice.  3 minute positive split is really solid.
