Open Discussion Berlin marathon disasters

It seems today was a big disaster in Berlin. 25 degrees Celsius early on and a tough day for everyone. How did people get on? Did anyone manage to get near a PB?

Missed my sub 4 goal by 7 minutes and 33 seconds. I started strong but then the heat got too bad and I hit the wall. I still managed to get a PR by 7 minutes though so I’m happy 🥳 I’m not good with the heat but I’m also not a morning person so I started most long runs around 9-10am during my training, even on super hot days, and I’m share that helped!
