25M, 6’1, around 100kg.

Ran a half marathon in March in around 2:15 and completed London Marathon yesterday in around 5:45

Honestly I feel quite down about it. I finished around the bottom 5% overall, and at 25 I feel like I should be much fitter and faster than that.

I know I’m heavier than a typical runner, and it was my first marathon on a warm day, but I keep comparing my half marathon time to my marathon result and feel like I massively underperformed.

I’m proud I finished, but I can’t shake the feeling that for my age I should be much better.

Am I being too hard on myself?
