Good effort, although 5.13km per second is pretty fastCompleted my first marathon (distance-wise) on Saturday, but didn't double check the Strava app and have it recorded as 41.95km
Not huge pace or anything, 5.13kms, just happy to clock the kms.
Felt pretty good a lot of the way. Was cruising up to 25-30 then hit the wall a bit. Hips, quads and shins were aching most of the last 10km but my energy levels were actually really good. If not for some extreme soreness I reckon I could have gone on another 10km.
Paying for it today though.
How'd you go with nutrition? Plan a meal the night or morning before? Take some food/gel with you?
I've never run more than 30km so thinking this year I will finally crack the 42km, it's just always seem like so much more effort in terms of planning, all my running to date is just get up, smash a coffee and head out for a run around.
