MLCM - The weather was very warm 17oC with the breeze but much hotter when running through the built up areas. There was little shade on the course and no clouds in the sky. Probably similar to Brighton.
Dan - With this technique I don't really think that I could go much faster - maybe I could have gained 2 or 3 minutes on my last 5kms had I not been feeling so tired. But I think that if I had the desire to train properly for the marathon then I would be running at a slightly quicker pace and could maybe record a faster time (3hr40-45), but it's not something I would want to try. I'm happy with running around 4 hours, and taking part and wearing my T-shirt. Gone are the days of my fast marathon times. It's now about preservation.
Sweder - I have a nice selection of beers to bring home to try he he
