I'm tempted too. We've got a club team in so, there's also an added incentive there. Definitely going to try and do it without any significant walk breaks, just to see if I can.

I've got Stamford 30k tomorrow, and not sure whether to use it as my last long run, or run it hard and see if I've got any speed in my legs, and then maybe make a call on this one.

Before T2T1 I thought I was way out of shape and my aim was just to get around that & this. However I found that reasonably easy so I must be in reasonable shape, so am considering going for it on this and seeing what happens!

Basically, I'm waffling & being indecisive!

As you probably know I am planning to run reasonably quickly next weekend and I will be having a walk break every lap(approx 1-2 mins) possibility of a second walk later in the race.

Walking is not necessarily a bad thing.

Agree Gobi. By significant, i meant 5 min plus walks, which I did on T2T in the first half, though partly cos we were running as a group with some guys who hadn't been over 18 (!) before.

If I'm pushing hard I'll probably walk through the CP, if I'm not I want to see if I can run 35 non-stop.

I found that I had to have walk breaks to eat properly.

Oh, and because I was exhausted. :)
