Running race 2:59:24 42.3 km (4:14 / km) +273m 4:07 / km
ahr:151 max:165 weight:73.5kg shoes: new Kinvara 2016
Stirling Scottish Marathon
Knew my endurance was the likely weakness, but had a good plan and executed it well, you can't always be sure you got the best out of yourself but I am pretty sure today.
Having HR basically at (or even above) normal max of 161 for the last 40mins suggests I was digging in hard at the end!
Pleased :)

Note
Not sure if Great Run were paranoid about course being short after the fiasco with the Great Scottish Run half-marathon in Glasgow, but we did a surprise extra loop of about 100m at the beginning (turned left not right out of safari park and then U-turn after abut 50m to head in the expected direction).
Also given the Glasgow fiasco, then it was a bit surprising to find the 10km timing mat not many strides past the 6mile marker, well short of where it should be (at about 9.7km).
I think the 40km marker was a little early too, at that point I thought I was likely to break 2:59 then suddenly sub 3hrs briefly looked in danger!
Half-marathon mark seemed fine, official time 88:17
(making second half 91:07)
5km splits (from Garmin)
21:01

(rest day)
Helsinki-Gatwick first thing.
Day in London office.
Heathrow-Edinburgh in the evening.
No desire for a late evening run even though the mountains were looking great in the sunset.

Quick pre-dinner leg stretch after a day of conference calls and emails as an alternative to the team training.
At least it was raining and the afternoon's forest was not exactly getting rave reviews...
Flight to Helsinki in the evening.
