    Loads of lessons learned, which you can take into all future races! Thanks for sharing Stevo. You'll come back stronger 💪

      Good lessons there for the full marathon🤞🏼. Looking forward to that a lot now. Cheers

    Stevo just something I picked up on what you said. You said that you would never run 1.25. I want to say that this IS within your reach. I went from 3.51 marathon to 2.57 so far using maf. Now I now you use maf or 80/20 but its all about having targeted sessions that make you ru faster. Stay consistent and honestly mate in a few training cycles you won't believe how fast you can get. Keep at it budd

      Absolutely agree with that. Steve, look at Nigel Berrymans MAF pace and his splits from his recent 1:27 HM. No reason why you can't do the same. As you say, run YOUR race, YOUR pace, not your mates.

    Thanks for the video. Well done for turning the negatives into lessons. Your poor sleep will certainly have been your excitement/nerves, in part. Do stick to pace come the marathon. I don’t mind feeling hungry for halves or shorter as I hate feeling full or heavy. Feeding en route is good practice for the marathon, though. Taper for the marathon - it is difficult as it’s tempting to run in your highly-trained state. You can definitely do 1:30 Half. If the rest of your marathon training plan is completed and you stick to lessons learned from Oxford Half you will be much nearer 3 hours than 3:30 for the marathon. And great that you persevered and got the PB on Sunday!

    Congrats on the PB mate. I think you mentioned after that 9 mile run that it might have been a mistake. Live and learn. I'm sure you'll fix all these issues for the next race.... and get a whole new set of lessons like we do in every race lol. Keep pushing mate 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

    Great video Stevo. You still did well and I can take stuff from your experience also.
    I ran a 10 mile race in a similar way. I had to drop my pace big time with a mile to go but you live n learn :)

    Steady as she goes at the start maybe slightly behind race pace, get to race pace and then hopefully try and do a negative split for the second half of the race......lessons learned and fix forward. Great running and keep up the good work.

      Thanks a lot Liam. Stick at yours too my man, I’ve seen your 5k TTs and I think if you base build over the winter months into new year I’m sure you have the time your after in the bag… keep at it mate 👍🏼

      Thanks Tirian! That’s a brilliant first half time, well done. We must have started in the same 1.30 pen? It was hard at the beginning to get going. It’s a great day out though. Same time next year!?
