Great meeting you too mate and huge well done! I’ve not tried it on yet! Chucked it in a cupboard believe it or not! Might wear it for London though so everyone knows I’m a marathon runner too!
Superb effort and you captured the event very well. I appreciated the ‘gin and tonic’ catchphrase and I think a few people on the water stations did too - that’s a wrap…
Haha, it’s honestly not intentional. I should learn to plan much better but time and time again, I find myself on the start line thinking, ‘well I guess we’ll just see what happens this time!’
@@AlPepperRuns Honestly i've done 15-17 hour 50 plus mile ultras and I just think a road marathon looks so daunting and terrifying. One day though, you've 100% planted the seed!
@@AlPepperRuns it’s not put me off running another marathon. Really want to do London so we will wait and see if we are successful in the next ballot 🤞
Wanted sub 4, hit the wall really hard at mile 24 and got 04:00:49! I’ll take it though! I had a really good weekend, it was my first ever marathon and it definitely won’t be my last.
Well done! It's a huge achievement, isn't it? (I was in yellow wave - glad that it was a cool day. Beat my target time of 3:45 but ended with a grim case of runner's nips!)
Sub 3:45?! That’s incredible mate! Sorry to hear about the nips though! I was worried at half way and on the look out for some vas but somehow, I came away relatively unscathed!
This was good information for me. With the water stations etc. Looking at this you would be fine with a few gels and water at the water stations. Im doing the AJ Bell half marathon. My goal is a full one after that.
@AlPepperRuns No, it's Gateshead/Newcastle at the start of May. Hopefully I can drag myself over the finish line. Amazing run from you, considering you very rarely train for your races
@@AlPepperRuns I am looking forward to seeing what's to come. I also look forward to trying to use the mindset that you had in this video when I run my first half marathon in a couple of weeks
Amazing job Al, you should definitely be proud of yourself!!! I'm doing the London Marathon this weekend so will keep an eye out for you and Lorna (best of luck to her!). Are you planning on dropping by any parkruns for a shake out run on Saturday?
Get in Marek! Good luck! I’m not unfortunately, I can’t make it work with train times. I’ll be filming the marathon from a support / spectator perspective though which should be fun!
