Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Thats what I'm hoping as I'll obviously be going a lot slower than a 5k.

Erm, right, the eyes were closed for a split second as I braced myself due to horrific chest pains actually, probably down to the chest infection that is now quite productive (phlegm etc). I had started so I bloody well was going to finish but my breathing was terrible...

Yes PQ id ID affet me and NO WAY would I run a half marathon like that. You still use your lungs A LOT in a half marathon aAND for a long time so you could be forcing infection deeper into chest for a long time which is not good.

Jolguk, I was faster on the Saturday but by Monday I was starting to feel a bit dizzy with it and short of breath. Stupid of me to run at all really but I didn't want it to spoil the day...

I'd be very careful PQ and if it is on your chest on Sunday then don't run, you risk making yourself very ill...

Plenty of races, only one you :-)

Ian, it's not on my chest at all. It's purely a snotty head cold so I'm hoping I should be ok for Sunday.
