20:13 park run this morning. Looking forward to Worthing 10 tomorrow where the rain is supposed to stop around 9 ish followed by an overcast day with light winds forecast. Sounds ideal running weather.
Good luck [MENTION=24635]Greg Bobkin[/MENTION] and any others running the Moleyman tomorrow .

I'll see you there. Really looking forward to this, my hamstrings have been the best they've been for 10 months and starting to feel more confident now. Conditions couldn't be better, no wind and flat. I'd love to go sub 40 but have a feeling I'll be 20/30 seconds out. Good prep none the less for the BM10k in four weeks.
I'm presuming the 17.3 was a training run rather than a race? If so you should be fine. Just remember to take on anything and everything, hydration is key for these long runs.

Yes it was mate - and I prob over-did it as went from 10 miles to 15 to 17.3 in a few weeks. Will take it nice and easy - have no interest in a time just want to coplete it - same as the marathon!
Got shot-blox and sport jelly beans as well as high 5 tablets with water - will take on what I need

That increase from 10 to 15 does seem a bit steep. That said you've now done it so build from there. Good luck and I think you'll find stepping up from 17 to 20 in an organised race won't be as tough.

Yes it probably was - I only set out do 12 but felt good. That was a while ago though. Been doing 10-13 for the last 3-4 weeks so need a couple of longer runs - Lydd 20 and then Hastings half next week and probably a 10 miler midweek - going to be hard but worth it

Nothing wrong with that really, just keep the pace comfortable.......
Bloody awful parkrun for me today. Still struggling with a bit of a cough/cold. Felt ok for the first couple of miles then started coughing my guts up and had to stop three times on the last lap (Hove Park). Apologies to anyone who went past while I was retching !
Good luck tomorrow [MENTION=24635]Greg Bobkin[/MENTION] - beware mile 24 [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Supposed to stop at 9 last time I checked. Good luck for tomorrow, I think I'm as prepared as I can be for it.

The rain held off for the start of the Surrey Half today... then pelted it down for five minutes a mile in. Perfect running weather then, and I smashed my sub-1:30 target. The finish clock read 1:25:31 as I crossed the line, and my chip time was 1:25:24.6... think I might retire!

Excellent stuff. You could well be in line for the NSC Age Grading Trophy 2017? Talking of which a slightly disappointing 45:51 for me today at the Worthing 10K - but a category win (and a trophy) AG 72.88%.

Bloody hell, that's rapid. Brilliant!
