I'm a little too chunky and not quite ready for sub 40...suspect if all the planets align and I'm up for the challenge, and the course/weather is right, I'd probably be around 41m +/-10s....fingers crossed, I'll be in sub 40 shape within the next 4 to 6 weeks....

indeed...too many Northern Pies in my diet.  Been running reasonable times in training and last parkrun despite being very close to 13st. I'm controlling my intake of calories now and have dropped around 6lbs in the last three weeks. Hoping to pop below 12st within the next month and then be low 11s by the time the Yorkshire Marathon comes around.

well that didn't quite go as expected...
Not sure if it was the slight bug I had last week, the 18 hour work day on Thursday, the heat, or all three...was 'on track for around 40:30 and feeling strong at 7k..by 7.5k I was dizzy, lightheaded and could barely run in straight lines. Lost nearly 5 mins in the last 2.5k, with two stops where I had to just rest and compose myself. Pretty much collapsed at the finish line.
A very odd and surreal experience...still feeling somewhat washed out, slightly sick and like I need an extra 12 hours of sleep..!

Sounds awful. Heat and illness are not a good combination.

We're all doing Thunder Run on not enough training and dodgy legs and fucked up lungs.
