I wouldn’t last in that heat. Went out to do a slow jog and to stay under 140bpm throughout. Achieved the first part but the HR went up towards end. Too warm for me.

Did the half as well, breeze helped a little but the last few miles were brutal.
A lot of the people doing the full looked in bad shape, hope everyone is OK.

Too many people (all men actually) laid fucked on the ground. Ambulance called for one chap after the Tennis Village. One chap puking up bile on the foot bridge towards the North Mall.
V hot but got around. Official time 2:13 but I have 2:08 on my watch so I’ll take that. Stopped once for a slash

Petty much like yourself, aiming for 1:40, but happy to get in just under 1:45.
Had to walk half a mile after Farenelee Rd . Head was burning,

Wouldn’t come close to that for the last 12 months anyway. Must take a look

Are you in Budapest still?
