Cheers Inchy. I think we’re in the same Pen so if you see me make sure you come over and say hello. I will be the guy constantly walking in and out of the toilets.

Time you hoping for @franksinatra

Time you hoping for @franksinatra

I am hoping 3:30ish. A bit of my cockiness has drained away this week. Going to set off 4:40k pace and then see how I feel 18/20 miles in. Definitely Psychosomatic, but been rough as toast this morning, every joint hurting on the dog walk etc.

Some incredible stories out there. Bloke in his 70s ran the Western State (over 100 mile run through the mountains). Just shows what we are capable of.

definitely its crazy

You’ll be ahead of me then mate, I’ll be happy with sub 4 again, anything under is a bonus tbh.

I'll be happy just to finish before Monday .

Seriously though, my aim is just to finish in one piece. I've done a slow 8km this evening with the running club, and am feeling pretty tip top. That's it for me now until Sunday.

Started my carb loading with a pasta dish for my tea, after a baked potato for lunch. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm in no doubt that it will be very hard work.

Signed up for the ribble valley 10k 27th December. Should be a laugh full of Turkey and Stella. Just recovering from a broken collarbone as well so I am not looking forward to it

Good luck to everyone running it this week. I ran 5k in torrential rain last week and my phone got soaked, completely ruined. Luckily it's insured for water damage and they say claim been successful

Sounds like your training has been spot on and should give you a lot of confidence for the task ahead.

Good luck to all you insane marathon runners for Sunday. Looks like the weather is going to be kind to you - dry and 11C - 13C.
