So, do we know how they got on? I'm feeling like a coiled spring. And so many 'I can do it' / 'I can't do it' thoughts running through my head. Reading the Brighton blogs has been like a roller coaster ride.... |

I'm defo in the cant do it category Not sure what to do with regards the plan for race day, but I'm sure if I go out at 10:18 pace then I'll blow up! |

So what pace do you think will not lead to a blow up then? Things I have gleaned from Brighton blogs: A. Marathon distance is an unpredictable beastie and you should be prepared to adjust expectations B. 90% is believing in what you are capable of given training and much is to do with the head Why do these two seem incompatible?

Wobble..... Hmmm managed 10:30 at Trimpell 20 so possible I guess. I think it's more about do I go for 10:18 and as you say adjust on the day or play it safe, enjoy the day and get round with a shiney new PB anyway..... Wibble, wobble some more........ |

The only thing that will make me wibble is if the sun comes out and it gets too hot...

I wibbled off the map with this one a while ago. There isn't any way of doing sub-4.30 now I'm afraid Good luck to everyone else though |
