Finished

It went really well – I finished in 808th position.

Up until about 21 miles it was really enjoyable – absolutely exhilarating, the crowds and the atmosphere were fantastic.

The last three miles were a real struggle, but I managed to keep running and I managed to beat three hours which was my aim.

I started off too quickly, I did the first 5km at 6:20 min/mile pace. I realised this and settled down to about 6:35/6:40 pace, which I managed to maintain until it started deteriorating in the final six miles. I was down to 7:15 pace by the end, but was still well within three hours.

So, I was pleased.

My legs are very stiff today.

Here ends my blog.

Run stats: 176:54 minutes, 26.2 miles - 6:44 minutes per mile
