I am going to run to my exercise class in the morning just doing 3 miles as I ran 4miles yesterday my question is do I need to get another run in before the 10k race on Sunday or will tomorrows run be ok to be the last? I have exercise classes tomorrow, Wed & Thurs so I am struggling to get another run in but if its needed then I will have to have a rethink.

I would leave it Hannah and relax a bit but do a mile or so (very slow) warm up on the day to ease out any stiffness left in the legs from exercise class

OK, who understands how race places are allocated? I applied for the 10k in Inverness, with a friend. Then my husband applied a few days later, all got e-mails, saying when payment received - a place was allocated. Thought no more.

My pack arrived today, but not hubbys, we logged on and it says his payment hasn't been received. Not that he didn't get a place.

We've no idea why they didn't take the payment, and now it says online payment not available, and entry closed. But his application details are all there???

So, is this a really cryptic way of saying he didn't get a place, or should I be trying to contact them to make his payment. So annoying!

I do have a race pack for the friend who dropped out though - grrrr! Could he run as her?

he's going to be so gutted if we all have places and not him.

Bj - You'll just have to get in touch with them and ask. But I would be almost certain that he'll have a place.

The online payment systems often go wrong - its happened with 3 races for us in the last 3 months, so its not a subtle way of telling you that the application was unsuccessful.

As a race organiser you can always allocate a few extra places for 'admin issues' anyway....so you should be okay!:D

Just got my race pack through for marathon, which is exciting but the total distance is 1/2 a mile over marathon- is this normal? seems a bit strange to me, and I know its only an extra half mile but........

If it isnt 26 miles 385 yards then it aint a marathon!

So in a nutshell, no its not normal.......but some low key events do tend to use the word 'marathon' quite loosely.

I've no knowledge of that particular event, is it new?

Baxters Loch Ness Marathon, there's a 5K and 10K too.

Not too keen now though, now I realise the 10K has about 6,000 runners - argh!
