Thanks, yeah you’ll go sub 3.30 in Chicago for sure. New York is a tougher course. Best advice I can give is to stay consistent, and keep your fast fast and your slow slow. Best of luck 👍🏃🏻‍♂️💪

Thanks kingkobra4909, this is definitely my longest sojourn away from KZread. Going back to work was the main culprit. That, and the lack of daylight Monday to Friday. Then, just like running, once you break the rhythm it is much harder to get back into it. Hopefully I will record the Sean O’Brien in two weeks and that will kick start things. Thanks for reaching out and hey…watch this space 👍

@@filmmytrailrun looking forward to it david. We are having withdrawal symptoms 🤣. Best of luck in the S.O.B! If there is a tracker, please post the link!

The crowds seemed great compared to the live coverage of the Elite wave, where everything seemed deserted. Well done on a fantastic PB Dave!

Thanks Stuart, yeah, crowds were mental when we were coming through…and we started at 7.30am!! I had forgotten what these big city marathons were like. Chicago did a great job in managing what were colossal crowds 🙏

Omg sub 3hour marathon and you finished it looking like you'd done a 2k run! Triple that time for my dcm 😂 Well done Dave

Thanks Joan, everything is easy after you’ve ran Leadville 😂. Best of luck in the DCM. That’s another great day on the running calendar. Go out with the pacers, switch off your brain and just enjoy yourself 💪🏃🏻‍♀️🇮🇪

Congratulations. How did the legs feel running Chicago after Leadville?

Thanks Tadeusz, the quads felt a bit wobbly the last couple of miles. I had a bug that floored me in the week leading into the race so I’m not sure if it was that or carryover from Leadville because the quads were slow to come around after that race. Either way, I was very happy with how my body performed in Chicago. A great day was had by all 👍

You were fast with a gopro and the course looked super flat which was a bit different to New York

@filmmytrailrun

Thanks, yeah, Chicago is a good course for a personal best. People think New York should be flat but, as you probably found out, there are plenty of sneaky ups and downs in there. Thanks for tuning in 👍

Congrats Dave but your reaction crossing the line to a brand new pb was very underwhelming!!! C’mon man!!! You gotta shout the place down!!!!! Congrats

Ha ha, thanks Sean, had I known at the time of crossing the line I would have made a bigger furore. I was sick for the 10 days prior to the race so I wasn’t expecting anything special so, at the time, my underplayed excitement was purely associated with coming in under 3 hours. Signing up for the LA marathon in March so hopefully you will see the house brought down on that occasion 😀
