I'm not necessarily going to get post-marathon syndrome but will probably get post-training-fundraising-marathon syndrome, although a lot of my fundraising continues into May. I've been watching videos of the finish on YouTube and so many people go through the finish, arms in the air, cheering, then go 'oh' it's finished, what an anticlimax! :) It's good that you already have another race booked in (I'm thinking of signing up for another half marathon). You're so going to sign up for next year's marathon too aren't you? ;) Love the pic – a real action shot with both feet off the ground!

I got there way too early and went 2 or 3 times and it was never more than a quarter full. For afterwards, try finding something else to focus on - another race, a holiday, a pub crawl! I had nothing (apart from aches and pains) and it was such an empty feeling for about a month! Don’t worry about the pre-race urinals – was the same last year but they were never full!

I've heard from some the final 5 miles, although hard, are such a buzz from the crowds that it's those hard moments that lead to so many people resigning up. I am too buzzing with energy that needs to be dispersed. Tell me this at 23 miles. haha nice post; post marathon blues I can well imagine.
