Sounds like you have a great chance of sub 4 then, good luck. You won't find a flatter marathon. A local tip is not to overtake on the beach bit unless you are very sure the ground is firm, I have seen people try that and lose a shoe, never to be seen again :-0

Ha!

Thankfully the stretches are short; I can imagine plenty of people walking them, especially on the way back. You hardly lose time and it might actually be a helpful breather!

How are people feeling about next week, I'm starting to get a little nervous - only my second marathon, although I'm not planning to race this.

They had rum and chocolate last year :-)

I will be doing a final LSR tomorrow to see if I will run the mara or not, will run some of the course and report back.

Just hoping to get round, but the people I'm going with have booked lunch for 2.30 - not sure if I'll be done by then.
