Good luck. Did it two years ago just after the bombing. Loved it. Done it in 1.35 but fuck me did I pay for it. You can do all the miles you want on on treadmill but nothing prepares you for road running if you don't get out of the gym. I paid the price. I couldn't even drive back to London the next day. Great course though, pretty much as flat as you could hope for though there's a seemingly invisible incline towards O*d T*af*o*d. Bottleneck at the etihad was a bit of a **** though. Great post run session in revolucion de Cuba or something afterwards. A city fan was our host for the weekend introducing us to many of you lot along the way. I'd recommend Manchester in a heartbeat if you're choosing a run. I've done Brighton, Edinburgh etc but nothing comes close to ManchesterManchester half marathon on Sunday, just want to get on with it now. Carb loading has started, lol.
Gentle reminder to those who haven’t had a heart screening prior or since starting their running mojo. I turned 26 on Wednesday run 15-20 miles a week, cycle, swim, gym, climb intermittently and I collapsed on a club run thursday. Electrical impulse fault with my heart so a few months of testing to check there’s nothing underlying that’s causing it, otherwise can be rectified.
A bit scary, get a check up if you haven’t yet.
Fuck i hope all is well with you mate and they can sort you asap.
Keep well fella.
Take care pal. I know of quite a few super fit fell runners who have had heart problems.Gentle reminder to those who haven’t had a heart screening prior or since starting their running mojo.

Manchester Half done!
Fuck the idea of ever doing a full, lol, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, the last 6k felt like an eternity, was fine up to 15k but then really had to grind out the rest of it.
2:11:59 so very happy with that considering before today I had never ran over 10k in my life.
