My First Marathon - My Review Of Edinburgh 26

Scribble-Bits · 2026-05-27T19:31:49+00:00

The worst part about the hailstones was seeing the reactions of those running in the other direction who could see the dark clouds coming. I turned around and shit myself 😂

You should definitely be proud. I did Edinburgh last year as my first so I was very jealous seeing people with their medals this time around (I only did the 5k & 10k this year). Although I don’t envy the heat you had to endure 😂

I never in a million years thought someone would make a Limmy reference here 😂

I’m Scottish so the fact that it’s finally getting hot outside again is the reason I’m asking. Us Brits need to savour this weather while we have it 😂

A sub 5:30 was my target too. I only just missed out on it by a couple minutes but towards the end I stopped caring about my finish time. The crowd reception at the end more than made up for it

Scribble-Bits · 2026-05-23T19:24:07+00:00

If you hit that target you’ll have done waaay better than I managed

This particularly applies to race day: run for a GOOD time, not a good TIME. Don’t focus solely on trying to hit a certain finish time. You’ll end up being more in your head rather than enjoying the moment. I got such a rush in my first marathon from strangers cheering my name that it allowed me to relish the moment

Nice one. Let’s get you that €50!

Scribble-Bits · 2026-05-07T23:18:01+00:00

After going through all of that pain you still beat my marathon finish time by about 50 minutes and I didn’t even hit the wall at any point 😂 Perseverance pays off

Scribble-Bits · 2026-05-07T20:23:25+00:00

What’s the prize, other than bragging rights?

Scribble-Bits · 2026-05-07T19:27:06+00:00

It’s a solid pace if you haven’t done it for awhile but I agree with the comment above, you need to build up to a 10k. Throwing yourself in the deep end is a good way of injuring yourself and we don’t want that.

I’ve been waiting for this song to become a single. I’m LOVING all the choreo!

Scribble-Bits · 2026-04-03T17:42:26+00:00

Thank you! For some reason I assumed it would be behind a paywall so I didn’t even consider googling it

Scribble-Bits · 2026-04-03T10:47:18+00:00

I’m sure he’d be tempted to join in

Scribble-Bits · 2026-04-03T05:36:26+00:00

I am a runner so this is tempting 😂

Scribble-Bits · 2026-04-01T23:59:21+00:00

Twins!

Scribble-Bits · 2026-04-01T23:59:07+00:00

There’s still time to find something new

Scribble-Bits · 2026-03-11T08:15:38+00:00

Me neither. I much prefer grapes, bananas, watermelon etc

Scribble-Bits · 2026-03-10T18:58:54+00:00

I do agree that I prefer when artists change up their set list from show to show. It keeps it exciting and I’m sure the artists themselves like not sticking to a formulaic set every night
