It actually feels like a perfect day for running now - cool, dry , no wind
Who we tracking?
Is there a working live tracker? The folks I’ve looked at on the “Live Results” page (TCS London Marathon 2022) both show up as not started… am I looking in the wrong place maybe?
The official phone app is working, been getting bombarded with notifications of people I’m tracking starting.
Yes, I’ve got the app. Seems to be working ok. Tracking a mate from work who’s going for sub3 and a former pupil who’s looking for sub2:20!
Wow rapid!
Yeah I know a few from local clubs and stuff. One lad we run with, just went through 5km in sub 18 mins!
I do nt think I know anyone running. Didnt see anyone put a number on here.
Watching Jamws Cracknell. He’s done first 10k in 40 mins.
Good to see Hug outsprinting the American chap, I know it’s not against the rules to sit in for the whole race but I’m happy that it didn’t work. Hug was lucky on the final bend leaving the gap he did though.
Tracking a fella I used to go to school with. Through 10km and just about scraping sub3 pace. Will be interesting to see if he can hold it
Nevermind, folks seem to be starting to show up now.
My mara training partner from last year is through 10k in 45mins. She should hold this pace and could get close to the female champs time of 3.15.
My guy is going to require a nice negative split.
Through 25km in 1:46 estimated time 3:00:24
My former pupil started out a 2:14 pace! He looks like he’s hanging on for. 2:22. Nice to know even the fast guys get it wrong! My sub3 colleague has gone through half way at 2:52 pace, which I think is his pb, so looks like he’s just going for it. Will be good to see if he can hang on.
I’m sitting on the sofa eating fruitcake, btw.
Ooof. Pupil came in at 2:25 so quite a big blow up over the last 10k. Still amazing.
Yeah, I’ve just eaten a fried breakfast for lunch
Better luck next year for my mate, slipping away from him, estimated 3:04 now.
Work mate came in at 2:54. Not too shabby. Time for more fruit cake. Tracking people is exhausting!
Yeah I saw a few blowups from people I know. One went 1.16 and 1.29!
The quick lad hit a 2.33. Suspect he’d easily go under 2.30 if he properly trained for a mara. He was out in France doing CCC not that long ago!
Former training partner slowed but still got a PB of 3.26 and got yet another gfa
Another guy I know got his sub 4 after 3 tries
