    3:02 - Greenwich and the Cutty Sark
    4:18 - Starting to drop in energy
    5:04 - Tower Bridge

    6:54 - Last few miles
    7:22 - Final stretch
    I mentioned in the video, but honestly all finish times (be it a 2 hour marathon or a 9 hour marathon), are fully respectable and every marathoner is amazing.
    At the end of 2019, I had a 3:23 in the bag and was on the top of my game - then on the 1st Jan 2020 I got injured, then Covid happened, then more injury, then I just fell out of a training cycle. For my first big race back to be 30 mins above my PB was just sort of official confirmation that I'm not where I was 22 months ago, and when I was already vulnerable from the race it all just got on top of me.
    Congrats to all finishers, good luck to Manchester/other runners and thanks for watching!

    Congrats on a marathon finish...something to celebrate no matter the time! But, I do also know what it's like to be disappointed by a race, so the feelings are valid. Every race is a learning experience for the next time. Thanks for taking us on your journey through the London Marathon!!

    Well done for finishing. I dream of getting a time like that one day but I understand it's all relative and I only compare my performance with me. So I get why you would be disappointed when you have done so much faster before. However finishing a marathon is ALWAYS something to be proud of and celebrate. Well done!!!

    • @AliceOnARun
      @AliceOnARun  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, I definitely recognise it’s still a time to be proud of. It’s just more that I suspected I had got less fit but didn’t have the confirmation until now. Onward and upwards, thanks for watching!

    Well done, Alice. Please don’t beat yourself up too much about your time. Everyone has good and bad runs. Sunday was my first ever marathon and I made it round in 6:21. It was quite a bit slower than I’d hoped (I was doing fine up to about 15 miles but had to walk most of the way home) and was a bit upset about it yesterday. But it’s important to look for the positives: for me, it’s that I am fit enough to finish a marathon distance, I had only run 10 miles continuously before July, and I can learn from the experience to hopefully do better in future. Keep your chin up. You did great! Adam

    • @AliceOnARun
      @AliceOnARun  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks so much Adam, and congrats on an amazing progression!! Only 10 miles at once before July, that’s crazy, you should really really be proud! Hope you keep running and you’ll definitely see your time come down, but it’s nothing to sniff at :)
