Two words: scorching hot!!
My 4th one this year. 4 stan chart marathon out of 5 years (missed 2012), not too bad. Once again, training did not go as I planned, but it was expected given the change in mentality which permeates into the way I live now. I am definitely not as fit as few years back but I hope to regain my fitness in the next few years. This year's marathon had its pros and cons like its predecessors. I enjoyed the race, especially with the adequate preparation and mental experience going in. I'll simplify my experience by running down kilometre by kilometre and end of with my list of the good, bad, and ugly.
Training: tempo run (5km 30min), bit of hills, 2-3 runs per week, longest distance covered was 29k (22k run 7k walk), longest run was 15k, tapered 2 weeks before, lastly...
