PS: I just noticed that you are also on the sub 4h marathon thread. Aiming for it in Edinburgh or in London? Good luck with that, with your training you should smash the 4h barrier.

I'll do it in London and then see how my legs are for Edinburgh. I'm aiming for 3:30 in Amsterdam.
You could try an out and back somewhere reasonably level. A towpath is good. I find the track horrible on my own or in small groups. I go much better when there are lots of us egging each other on.

Well done on your VLM run. 16 min improvement on your PB! How are your legs? I wish you all the best for the Edinburgh marathon, you'll smash the 4 h there.

My legs are remarkably fine, thank you. I have a slightly sore left hip and my right achilles is tighter than an Aberdonian in a flea market but I've had a massage and after a week of swimming and gentle cycling, I reckon I'll be right as rain.

if they are flat-ish it might be worth the journey. they only autumn ones i seem to be able to find (confession: i haven't spent that long looking yet) in my neck of the woods are off-road and somewhat undulating. don't mind a bit of up and down but if i'm going to get sub 50 i'm going to need everything on my side!

There's Huntingdon but that's in June, probably too early for you. You could do it just to see how much you have to do.

Southend is Flat (usually first sun in Oct) crowded start but usually easy 2 run after the first k or so tis my pb course. Billericay in Nov has undulations a hill at the start but is remarkably a uick course. I've not done the other 2 i've mentioned
