Berlin shows that it works (Well - it did for me!) and you know yourself well enough to fine-tune on the hoof if you need to. (Still trying to see whether I can pop over and cheer you in! - but don't think it's going to be possible :()

Oct 2007 7:17am, 8 Oct 2007 198 posts	Quote Pin Skin of the teeth stuff, but I finished LNM in 3.14.52. I'm very pleased with that. I was banging out perfect 7.15 miles for the first 20 miles, heading for 3.10 but then the legs started to go and I was losing time rapidly. By 23 I was looking like finishing outside 3.15 but I managed to find something along the side of the River Ness and got a bit of speed back. The clock showed 3.15.18 when I finished so I had to wait on my chip time, which was texted to me as I travelled home.

B Rubble Oct 2007 7:44am, 8 Oct 2007 75 posts	Quote Pin B Rubble Well done Davie, bit of inspiration for me at Leicester next Sunday. I'm all set for it after a 10 mile race at 90% effort yesterday (still got a PB). Hope to see you at Leicester eL Bee.
