    Becks - why would you not be able to squeeze a 10k in when doing mara training... could you not consider it a training run?

    It just depends what the training looks like - I'm not sure yet but I suspect Sundays will need to be longer run days and there wont be that many between the two so I'll need to work on those and make sure I dont miss any if that makes sense!

    I'll come up for cheering you lot round though :D and to organsie drinkies!

    4.1 miles done with P - it felt much much quicker than last time we did that run.......we picked up our feet more, not so much shuffling......and what did we do.....?




    .......11 min miles :rotfl:

    It doesn't seem to matter what distance we do - 11 min miles it is!

    Yep, GNR is usually the first Sunday in October, Venice the last - so should be okay!

    Actually the first race we are running together it appears is in Jan 09 in St Albans!

    Although to be fair Rich will be about 8 miles ahead of me (and its only a 10 mile race)...

    Well the good news is I've been to Venice before so can show you around :)
