Some time in those conditions. Huge congratulations to you. There were definitely some pinch points throughout and the field never really thinned. Loved the first half marathon and into Canary Wharf and would love to take it on in 10 degrees heat

Thanks.

It always seems to be late April on the hottest day of the year they schedule it for now. Not great when the bulk of training is done at about 5 degrees.

Got a PB of 3:14 in London Marathon this year, a year after my PW of 3:40 in the Southampton Marathon. It was tough and felt there were quite a few bottlenecks along the course compared to when I last ran in 2014.

Good luck to everyone who ran or has entered the ballot for next year. Surely one of the greatest sporting events in the world.

That's a fantastic time, and a big congratulations. I came out to watch, and it felt very warm. I did it in 2018, when it was the hottest on record, and went over 30 minutes quicker with similar training a few years later, so on that basis, you're going to go sub 3 with cooler temps!

I still think London is the best in the world!
