Good effort. That wind must have been punishing with a flag. Couldn't you have ditched it?
4 weeks to go.
juanito-
figured it was good resistance training, plus i'd stashed a load of gels and my gloves in the bag, so wanted to get it back to the start!
Hopefully i wont have it with me on marathon day!
4 weeks indeed, I have one more week of training and then start taper, my biggest challenge is making sure I stick to the diet plan and get to the day as leans as possible, oh and finding some shoes to run in.

Well done, shame the 6 min mile pacer wasn't great, unreality they probably need to pay someone to do that!
We ended up with 4 pacers for the 7 min mile group so split at halfway into 7 min mile and a neg split group aiming to get down to 6:52 average which I went with, felt pretty comfortable till the last two miles where the wind and carrying a 6ft flag for 16 miles caught up with me a bit but ground it out for a 6:51 average.
