Well, I ran my first marathon yesterday.
I had been following a training plan which predicted a time of 4h 22 mins, I have discovered that the plans tend to be based on running around Holland in ideal conditions, neither of which apply to Scotland so was aiming for 4:30 and would have been happy with anything under 5h.
The course was advertised as "flat" but we didn't really know as it was the first ever Stirling Marathon, it wasn't!
Delighted to come in with a 4:43:11, only 18 weeks until my next one!
