It's supposed to help with cramping - something I've been getting on the 3 hour runs. I want to get some for Berlin but as I wont be doing any more really long runs, I wont really be able to see if it works till race day

It's the main event tho definitely, not nottingham. The collective wisdom of fetch and a long hard look at my training diary have finally persuaded me not to race tomorrow. Bang on marathon pace it shall be and not a second faster! Race + couple of miles warm up and down should be ideal training run. Expecting to find MP HMs quite enjoyable: main risk now will be tripping over my own feet, fixating on the Garmin...!
