thank fuck he doesn't seem to be planning to identify as a woman!

Just that by the look of it, judging by other spikes.

why the spike for the sub 3 zone? Other than it being a popular objective
It'll be entirely down to it being popular.
My only standalone marathon was 3:15:29. If I felt I was near to sub 3 then I'd have gone for it. But I don't think I'd have had enough knowledge to know if actually a 2:56 or 2:58 was doable etc. so I'd go for the nice big target.Same for the big 3.30 and 4.00 spikes. And the drop off at 3.01, 3.31, 4.01 etc
Having thought about it, if my only standalone marathon was 3:00:29 instead of 3:15:29 then I reckon I'd have found that 30 seconds to go sub 3 that I didn't bother to look for to go sub 3:15

I had a 50k race today - The Run with no Witty Name. Just constant mud, hills and rain. Not a single flat mile. 3500' of up and down. Caught up with a chap about half way around and we stuck together for the remaining miles, crossing the line in joint 6th. Slower time than I was hoping for but better result than I was expecting!
Pretty tired legs, but feel like I've done a hard run as opposed to feeling like a complete zombie which I often do after long races. Training must be doing something.

Looks like a good run to me. The results are mad! When you've got sub-2:30 marathon runners failing to make our scoring ten or the top 50...
So I wasn't too disappointed with my first Surrey League position outside the top 100. First race since May and not very far behind some club mates I'll be chasing down as I get quicker. -
Lognormal, surely?
Those big data sets from strava must be quite useful for callibrating some of the pace predictor models - mcmillan etc...

Didn’t end up managing to run the royal parks half but cheered my buddy around. Ended up chasing him round Hyde park for the last 4 miles - screaming ‘encouragement’ at him. Miserable day but a great atmosphere and so many people working hard and raising money for charities 👏

"In Australia, Landy is remembered for his performance in the one mile final at the 1956 Australian National Championships prior to the Melbourne Olympic Games. In the race, Landy stopped and doubled back to check on fellow runner Ron Clarke after another runner clipped Clarke's heel, causing him to fall early in the third lap of the race. Clarke, the then-junior mile world record holder, who had been leading the race, got back to his feet and started running again; Landy followed. Incredibly, in the final two laps Landy made up a large deficit to win the race, something considered one of the greatest moments in Australian sporting history. Said the National Centre for History and Education in Australia, "It was a spontaneous gesture of sportsmanship and it has never been forgotten."[6] Sculptor Mitch Mitchell created a bronze sculpture of the moment when Landy helps Clarke to his feet. It has recently been moved from the north west corner of Punt Road and Swan Street to Olympic Park, Melbourne."
