Not long now! Weather is looking to be ok too!
After getting a nasty stomach bug this weekend think it will be man suit fully zipped and a huge dose of f*** the legs.

Good luck everyone this weekend.
First calf strain ever in my left leg last week to complement the healing dog bite in my right leg's ankle but should be able to drag myself round !

Good luck all - I did this one last year. It's a great course if the weather is kind, and Amsterdam is a fantastic place to have a couple of days of R&R after the race.

A week out is the perfect time to catch a cold... all your training is done, and it should be gone by race day!
Believe in yourself ;)

Hoping the weather holds out, bbc forecast says 14degrees for Sunday which would be perfect! 'super flat', I like the sound of that! Bring it on I say! my cold is a bit better, hopefully by race day it will be a distant memory! Not sure if I'm nervous or excited now! (or both!)

All packed and ready to go! Flying from Birmingham in the morning. Excitement and nerves brewing up nicely.

Great day, huge positive split again, very flat course
With the only elevation being an overpass at 38k, a little stingy with the goodies

What a beautiful event this is! The weather was perfect, and it was an easy course to run a negative split. Kathleen and I ran together.

Over 2 minute negative split and PB of over 14 minutes but not GFA! Still main goal was sub 3:20 for B seed at Comrades 2012 so pretty happy

Great race. New PB and a negative split of around 10minutes- need to improve pacing for the first half!!

03.00.17 Loved it! Finishing in the Olympic Stadium was AMAZING! And I ran a 13 minute pb and smashed my target of sub 3.05! Would recommend it to anyone, lovely and flat, with a really pretty stretch around the river =)

Hope you all had a succesful run yesterday, i was wondering if anyone else has been thrown stones at by these 14yr olds!
They were throwing stones at the runners and were physically hitting runners!
I'm in total shock about this behaviour!
