Ian Beattie breaks 3 hours at Zurich Marathon

It would appear from the results (and subject to confirmation from someone whose German is better than mine) that Ian just nipped in under the three hours at this years Zurich Marathon held on Sunday 1st April. His finishing time of 2:59.40 saw him home in 359th place out over more than 4000 finishers. From his split times it looks as if he ran extremely consistently with each of the 4 10k splits in 45 mins give or take a few seconds.

A more accurate and detailed report can be found on his own blog: WHW Runner: Zurich Marathon.

Watch out for other Harriers marathoning this Spring:

London: Simon Wake
Lochaber: Adrian Wake
Edinburgh: Phil & Karen Pass and Vic Johnstone

Let me know if I've forgotten anyone...

Thanks for the kind words. Not wanting to put anyone off their forthcoming marathons, but the last 5k hurt a lot. I guess it always does. Still, delighted to achieve sub 3 hours after a gap of 9 years - and 16 years since I first did it, which seems a long time ago. Good luck to everyone at London, Lochaber and Edinburgh.
