      @@BowenMa01 things were going so well up to about KM22.5, and then my legs turned in to noodles. Sub 4 goal slowly faded away, but I’m so dang happy to have still completed my first ever marathon despite the terrible cramping.

      Truth. Current plan is to hit the half at 1:20:00-1:20:30 because that's clearly within range with my current fitness, and than I'll look to negative split the second half, mostly in the last 10K 🤘

    Genuine question: It looks like you/he is hitting the lap button on his watch at each mile marker. I am curious why. Wouldn't you just have your watch giving you automatic 1 mile lap times? What is the benefit of hitting it manually?
    Maybe he typically has something else on the screen and is having to hit it for the pace to appear?
