I reckon this training plan of repeated Heptonstall 15 mile recces is going to pay-off; it might be a bit shorter, but London lacks a 500ft ascent to the finish line and there's far fewer tussocks. :wink:
What was your time BTW???
Hi Trig, my London time last year was 4:17, and Palma was 3:54 6 months later. I am aiming for sub 3:45 for my next road marathon. I had a bit of a diary malfunction, I have entered Manchester which is the day after the Three Peaks so I don't think I will manage sub 3:45. 27 miles of tussocks followed by a 500 foot ascent will surely count towards your marathon training plan.
