Do you do this more for the psychological or physical benefits?MyRunningLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18174311456948758884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354071446628634699.post-29684460730145525432012-09-10T13:42:50.769+01:002012-09-10T13:42:50.769+01:00I cant wait for your account on Marathon Talk this...I cant wait for your account on Marathon Talk this week.<br /><br />At least we can have more attempts at some point - can you imagine what it must be like for an Olympian to miss out on a medal by a similar margin after working for 4 years towards a goal and then knowing that it will be another 4 years before they get another chance.<br /><br />Thanks for the GNR reminders, I have run it several times but long enough ago for me to have forgotten the topography. I do remember that that last mile is never ending though.......Steve Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207532299253615110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354071446628634699.post-54206145596843682452012-09-09T20:35:34.531+01:002012-09-09T20:35:34.531+01:00Love the training diary mate.

One tip though if you haven't done it before, the low point is around 9 miles I think and you climb steadily from there and MUST leave something in the tank for the climb from 11 miles and the long final mile into a headwind ;-) Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491603627277157842noreply@blogger.com
