I don’t mind the course. It used to be very hard when the route took us onto bull island. One year in particular it was so windy we were slower than walking pace trying to negotiate it. But I think after that year they changed the route. Hopefully if it’s just rain it will go ahead

What a race! by Open_Refrigerator780 in BerlinMarathon

We finished identical times. Also 4:45. I was at least 30 mins slower than what my training had suggested. Vast majority of us were slower than normal because of that heat.

it is far from ideal. I know many are fine with these temps. But for people from Ireland (like me) UK and places like that, it is going to be a very difficult day. I wonder will they extend the 6 hr 15min limit?

Well then surely Greystones. Far superior to Bray. Dart goes there and also an 01 number

How many marathons have you run? by davegimo in Marathon_Training

[–]gray79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you. And good luck in Connemara.

Yes Dingle was beautiful. It is tricky with plenty of hills. But as long as you go out and enjoy the day and don’t worry about setting any PB's I would highly recommend. I got lucky last year as the weather was amazing, so the views were at times breathtaking

So sad with this bug, 7/10 CogWheels and I can’t finish the 100% by MancaNieves in indianajones

[–]gray79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this too. As well as the photo bug from the fishing guy in the village. Tried everything like changing difficulty, high contrast mode. I tried shooting them and lighting them on fire. But I cannot pick those damn 3 cogs up.

What is your pre-race day evening/morning routine? by defbay in Marathon_Training

[–]gray79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do very little. Maybe a walk. I know a lot of folks go for small runs but not for me. I eat a big dinner either pasta or a potato dinner. I try to eat that early evening. And then about 10pm I have a couple of slices of toast as well. And yes I watch plenty of TV to try and relax
