I booked for Sydney marathon in January this year, then I did a nice flat half marathon in Melbourne in 1 hour and 53 min so i thought I can do this one in around 3 hours and 45 min, I expected Sydney marathon to have more hills but it turned out to be a hot and humid day too, 40 people collapsed, 26 were taken to hospital some in serious condition, so I am grateful that I finished in almost 4 hours and 40 min.

Great work completing your first marathon. It was my 4th road marathon and far and away my slowest and hardest. Goal was 3.45 and missed it by over an hour. Seriously tough race.

Thanks James, yeah it was tough, my half marathon in Melbourne was flat and nice, planning to do the Gold Coast one in July hopefully 👌

Good effort mate. To calculate a rough full Mara time, multiply your half mara time in minutes by 2.19. But that will only apply if you’ve been doing enough kms and big long run on the weekends of over 30kms otherwise you will drastically slow. It was hilly but less than Brisbane but the heat was the real killer on Sunday. Best of luck with training and the next one 🙏🏻

Oh ok that makes more sense, I guess my time was on point then, yeah definitely the heat, my quads were cramping up on hills, so I walked, thanks your time was awesome 👏

Awesome running mate… it was very very hot… good on you for getting it done!

@BilalOz2012 10 месяцев назад

@Alecmcq thank you, I loved the atmosphere of the crowd, people were encouraging me by name because it’s on my bib lol, it was nice, there were two young men that setup a makeshift water table which was so much needed.

i did my first marathon too :)... too hot and too hilly for me... was really difficult 😅

@BilalOz2012 10 месяцев назад

I agree, did you finish it? my half marathon in Melbourne was so easy compared to this lol

@ultradiabetic 10 месяцев назад

Gold Coast is flat and fast, I highly recommend it.

@BilalOz2012 10 месяцев назад

@@ultradiabetic oh yeah, my friend is pushing me to register, sounds like a good idea, thanks 😊

It is unrealistic to aim for 3.45 when you ran 1.53 on a flat half marathon. The Sydney course is hilly but nowhere compared to San Francisco, with an overall elevation of 1859 ft. vs. 822 ft. and it doesn't fully flat out by Mile 21. Congrats on finishing under 5 hours. I am sure with consistent training you would smash it next time.

@BilalOz2012 10 месяцев назад

Yep I realised after that it doesn’t work by doubling your half marathon time lol, omg have you done the San Francisco marathon? Thank you, I am doing a half marathon in November to redeem myself lol

@CatherineSui-Miller 10 месяцев назад

I have run San Francisco marathon a couple times. It isn't a course to achieve your PB but the scenery and Golden Gate Bridge are stunning. I used to live in Sydney and Melbourne. Both are on my next destination races, but first Toronto in May 2024! Have fun and keep on running. Cheers! @@BilalOz2012
