The Notts AC improved his best by almost a minute to 2:16:57 for 23<sup>rd<\/sup> place, compared to his previous best of 2:17:46 in London last year. Matt Sharp finished three places behind in 2:19:17 and Steven Bayton crossed the finish line on the Festhalle\u2019s red carpet in 2:20:41 for 30<sup>th<\/sup>. Dani Nimmock ran 2:38:54 for 23<sup>rd<\/sup> in the women\u2019s race, just over half a minute down on her best, set in winning the Manchester Marathon this year.<\/p>\n<p>The temperature was 6 degrees centigrade for the 10 am start and while Frankfurt\u2019s course is one of the best in the world as a platform for fast times, on this occasion runners had to cope with a strong head wind for almost ten kilometres from 27km. Aaron Scott and Matt Sharp were in the same group and Scott was delighted with the pacing at halfway: \u201cWe went through bang on 68 minutes so I was really happy and then a group of four of us pushed on to the end. It was fairly tough because the wind took its toll from about 25k but it was fantastic we were in a group so we could take it in turns to lead for about one km at a time. I knew they were aiming for 2:16, 2:17 so we could work together and get what we wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There can be few better finishes to a marathon anywhere in the world than to run onto the red carpet of the Festhalle, accompanied by suitably operatic welcome. Running a personal best anywhere is naturally a cause for celebration but Aaron Scott reckons that Frankfurt is ideal for any runner wanting to rise to a higher level among the elite: \u201cI think it\u2019s perfect. There\u2019s a very relaxed feel to the race. London is brilliant but it\u2019s a bit more pressured. You\u2019ve got a lot more people around whereas here, they seem to be really efficient in what they do and the course \u2013 you hardly get any climbs. We had a lot of wind but you don\u2019t normally get that. As for the cold, at least it wasn\u2019t hot and you can deal with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The race hotel is under five minutes from the start and finish. By coincidence, the giant figure of a man with a hammer looms over the start line but this is a reminder of the area\u2019s industrial history, rather than a warning of impending doom on the road to the finish line in the nearby Festhalle.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;297267&#8243;][vc_column_text]Photo: Privat[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;297279&#8243;][vc_column_text]Photo: Privat[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;297291&#8243;][vc_column_text]Photo: Privat[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Led by a personal best from Aaron Scott, the team coped with chill conditions and strong winds at the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon on Sunday.
