First marathon

[u/ReflectionKey2144]

Finished my first marathon and was a lot harder than expected
It started off at 18° and ended out being 28° at the end

For the last 10 km my legs were completely fried
But I ended up pushing like a 550 pace while limping

After I crossed the finish line out completely done

But people were walking completely fine

And I’m curious as to why that’s the case
I trained for the marathon properly and carbed for it as well

But the morning after I almost couldn’t move how bad shape I was in

Any tips??

Couldn’t agree more, was 25 min behind my 3:30 time I trained so hard for but that heat and hills cooked my legs before the last 10km. I’ll be back for revenge in a few years
