      Excellent work. Really the utmost respect for that kind of dedication. Thanks for sharing.

          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.

                Very nice.  3 minute positive split is really solid.

                  Hey Steelworker and MM.. can't take any credit for the marathon. I'm still only doing baby steps and doing 1/2 marathons [emoji125]🏼‍♀️

                    @den1mhead Nice work, Barcley!  Were you able to eat much during the race?  Do you have any preferences for nutrition and electrolytes while you run?  (i.e. Clif bloks, GU gummies, Nuun, etc)  For myself, trying to figure out what my body will tolerate during a long run has been a painful trial and error process.

                    Hoping to do my first 1/2 in a few weeks and first full marathon in the spring.  Here are a few of the races I have planned.

                      Have a look at Glukos! Their Gels are great! Very thin and you don’t choke on them. I also enjoy the tablets on a run. Gummies during bike rides and I always drink the powder on a ride. Their cookies and cream protein bars are like a candy bar and you can’t go wrong with either protein powder!

                        @Engineer
                        I use High5 gels and electrolyte drinks.
                        For the marathon I took two gels on the start line and then a gel every 30 minutes thereafter. So over the whole marathon I consumed 10 gels. I carried my gels on a High5 waist belt. I also took an electrolyte drink at mile 6, 12 and 18 provided by the race, sipping as I ran. I took water whenever it was available.
                        Good luck on your upcoming races buddy  🙂

                          @Engineer I would encourage you to buy as many types and flavors you can get your hands on.  For an HM the use of gels and how they taste isn't as necessary, but when you start talking about the second half of a full, especially the last 10-12K, you will really want to consider how intense the flavor is.  A gel you think tastes good 8-10 miles into a run may have you gagging 20 miles into a marathon.  In my opinion the more bland the better.

                            I'll be taking part in the Trionium 6th Bath Hilly Half this Sunday 12th November 2017, organised on behalf of Rotary Club of Bathavon in aid of local children's charities.
                            Course / race info . . .
                            The half marathon is 1650 feet down… and 1650 feet back up again.
                            For your expected finish time, add at least 15% to your PB.
                            A country course, with stiles, hills, tussocks, rough tracks, more hills, fantastic views and kissing gates.
                            Five years in the making... a special course that makes the most of the hills and scenery of this part of the West Country!
                            Looking forward to this one  🙂

                              ^ This looks like a really fun and brutal race.  Enjoy!

                                        Haven't posted in this thread before, but I run fairly seriously. Glad to have gotten through a marathon in under 2:40 for the first time this past weekend. I went out slightly aggressively at 2:36 flat pace at the half and hung on for the ride as best as I could to finish in 2:39:39. Finished up in 10th overall and 2nd in 30-34 (lost by 29 seconds lol)

                                        I'm probably a bit more suited to the half right now, so I'm looking forward to building back up to attack a fast half in 3 months and then I'll focus the summer on getting more marathon fit for the Berlin Marathon.

                                          Awesome effort @cander49 on your sub 2hr 40min marathon time. The picture of you hurting brings back memories for me of the Yorkshire marathon that I took part in last year. I will be doing the marathon again this year and will be hoping for a sub 4 hour time.
