controversial Second marathon out of my 3 for autumn and only 2 weeks after berlin. I will try to go sub 3 again, but I still need to keep some energy (and try not to pick up any more injuries) so I can give it all in new york 3 weeks later.

Duggie W Looking forward to it. Not planning on trying to beat my PB, just getting round in under 4 after last year's furnace. Nice flat course, brilliant atmosphere and support from the huge crowds, and weather forecast looks good, so good chance for those that are after a PB on Sunday..

Well that didn't go to plan! 11 miles of nice PB-posting pace then someone stuck a dagger in my knee, a few miles further on I was shot in the calf muscle, whilst all the time being slow-cooked in a giant furnace (for the second year in a row). But my name is not Paula so despite being like a one-legged burst tomato I completed it. Don't care about the time, at one point I didn't think I would make halfway!

paul a Struggling a little with Runners Knee which has probably put paid to my sub 3 for this one. Plan is to run by feel and see how it goes - would advise against any PB betting on this one. Last of the WMMs for me so I plan to enjoy it. 100 Marathon Club 3:01:26 3:02:11 3:15:00 3:12:09 65.74
Rick OShay This is my 'big PB effort' for 08. Lots of training over those lovely summer months, then a nice flat course. Harvel Hash House Harriers 3:35:57 3:53:04 3:49:59 4:04:39 51.24

Sweaty Frank Should be fun.  This a flat, fast course with lots of fan support along the way. Southeast Runners Club, Cleveland, Ohio, USA 2:56:55 3:07:58 3:15:00 3:07:58 73.77
wizlyn Awful! Struggling early at 6 miles, but held on to target pace to half way (1.27.55). Then stopped at med tent. Race over in terms of PB then, but carried on once I got the all clear. Ran the rest at a steadyish pace, most enjoyable 30-40k I think I'll ever do!! Not a great day though. Really feel that I missed out here. Should have adjusted pacing: too block-headed to move over to plan B. Serpentine RC 2:56:34 3:10:27 3:10:27 70.34
