London Marathon.
That was a fair time given my lack of long runs. The first 16 miles were really comfortable, the next four less so, and the last six were tough as the wheels started to come off. Got my fuelling wrong yet again and threw up coming out of the tunnel at 24. Crowd gave me a good cheer though. Really need to sort that out, think caffeine gels are off limits from now on.
The plan was to run the race at a HR of between 139 and 143. That worked well until 22 and then it started to drop through 23, 24 and 25 before I managed to get it back up at the end. Maybe that's why my legs weren't sore at the end and I don't feel particularly tired today - I just didn't have the fitness to be able to push myself hard enough at the end.
