It took me about 6 tries to be able to pace, although my marathon times stayed around same mark every time, whether I took off at under 8's or paced wisely. It just feels much nicer to finish negative splits:) But the first one was about the same.<BR/>Yep, you don't owe anything to anybody. Always a lesson, no failure.

You don't have to say sorry to anyone. The marathon is a very tough race, that's why we do it. The first marathon is always a learning experience. You'll get it right eventually.<BR/><BR/>What I would have done differently if I were you:<BR/><BR/>1) a longer taper<BR/>2) you started too fast. If you're goal was 3:30, you should never have gone faster than 7:50. If the red balloon guys are running too fast just let them go.<BR/><BR/><BR/>We usually say "never again" immediately afterwards, then do it again anyway.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
