Little Miss Happy Oct 2016 1:11am, 12 Oct 2016 34 posts	0 Little Miss Happy I can't use my entry due to injury but I'm afraid the transfer deadline has long passed jet fuel.

DrDan Oct 2016 12:16pm, 17 Oct 2016 1,143 posts	0 DrDan Just did my penultimate run - 10.45 miles with 8 at MP ... went OK. Just some 400m intervals on Wednesdays and then it's carbs and rest. I'm worried about this one as I haven't put in the same mileage as previous marathons, although I am in pretty good shape and lighter too. We will find out somewhere between 20-26 miles!!

bgillam001 Oct 2016 7:17pm, 23 Oct 2016 11 posts	0 bgillam001 PB of 3.19 for me. I was dying towards the end but a nice chap overtook me as we entered the stadium and said "come on, we can get under 3:20". I felt like death, but he cajoled me and a sprint finish later did indeed get under 3:20, so thanks whoever you are! How did everyone else get on?
