I decided to just take it easy, soak up the atmosphere sprinting the last 400metres with a finish time of 5hr 4mins
Totally feeling this! Thought my niggles were gone, but a half mara distance yesterday was horrible, running most of the route of the Bournemouth Bay run that happened earlier in the day.
Binned 25 gel wrappers that had been discarded. There are bins like every 100m...Yeah, well done guys for raising all this cash for charidee, but who cares about the beautiful coastline.

I didn't know the Bournemouth Bay run was going on, was visiting and managed to get caught up in the kids fun run and 10k run. made the run more interesting as i detoured onto the beach.
I know some people enjoy running along that promenade but I found it a bit tedious. something more trail-like and undulating is superior for a training run.

Don't get why people do this. Is your run more important than everyone else's future enjoyment of the area? No it is not. It's just a run. It's not that hard to put the wrapper in your pocket and bin it later.

Oh hats, sorry to hear about your experience at the Kingston Breakfast Run. Suggest you keep you training runs short now until the Marathon. On the day just treat it as a celebration of all the hard work you've done. I struggled in my last marathon with over training injuries in 2008 and fatigue. I decided to just take it easy, soak up the atmosphere sprinting the last 400metres with a finish time of 5hr 4mins. Limped home with foil wrap and a medal xx
