Jono.
just catching up on the posts.

Claire - well done love, seriously fast.
Doc - what an intelligent Half, setteled into it over the first mile and then you were off :-)

Ron - you are a blinder, but you can't keep Monkey and one day he will visit the peninsula to pass on his running mojo.

Wobbler - resist the chair move, its the start!!!!

Mrs Jiggs - phew, I never imagine runners of your calibre having bad periods, I'm sure its just a phase, but its hard to stay at the top - at anything really. Maybe it is time to give up on the 26 mile journey and try something else - unbelievable how a 20 miler seem's an easy distance :-) I suppose we all have to take stock at some time and judge the best way forward, especially if we want to keep running.

Mrs J, I'm a firm believer in doing what makes you happy / enjoy / gain satisfaction. You have nothing to prove to anybody, you are an amazing athlete across all distances. If marathons and the associated training are becoming a chore and have no enjoyment, why do it? Stick to what you enjoy the most. This is our hobby after all. Take care. Xx
