    Our local race for life is the Saturday after FLM........I know it is only 5km but I think I will still be struggling to walk at that stage!

    Hypno, you'll be surprised - you'd probably have a flyer if you went for it!

    I've specifically targeted the Wimbledon 5K on 11th April (6 days after the marathon) for that very reason.

    You get a speed 'kick back' from a marathon plus a few day's rest - its all to do with the repair systems going into overdrive, preparing for loads of work that you're not actually doing!

    I WILL be doing the race for life, even though it is close to FLM - my DD does it too, and my student will join in this year as well. One year I decided to do a race for life later in the year, and went to Cambridge instead......but it was the hottest day of the year 36 degrees......and was incredibly tough! So I would much prefer to do the early one again!

    If I have a flyer, I will be very pleased.......in fact, anything under 32 mins would be an improvement on my previous best!

    I haven't managed to get out by myself (been out with preschooler) so I have done an hour on the stepper. I plan to go for a long walk tomorrow. Is it OK to use the stepper instead of a walk?

    rachael, I would guess that any exercise is good exercise!

    Enjoy your walk tomorrow - we are due more snow here, so I hope you have better weather than us!
