I'm with Boldie and keeping faith that you'll do yerself an injury before the race.  There's still time.

Probably more likely that than me getting any sponsorship from you...

No worries.  When ya break yer leg I'll be sure to give yer sponsorship money to another good cause obv.  Failing that, gonna make ya sweat it out to the last minute.

10 mile run today, and I decided that instead of running it at 7 in the morning when it's still cool, I'll do it at lunch-time when it's going to be pretty warm.  It's about the same temperature today as when I ran London in 2009, so if it's like this a week on Sunday it's a good idea to do at least one run in a similar heat.  Let's hope the weather on the day is overcast, light drizzle and a high of 5°.

I'm there this weekend, but next weekend I'll be travelling down to London and then running round it.

You have a PM...

Just got back.  Bloody hell it's warm out today!  20° in the shade, and running round Colwick Park there was very little of that. 

Managed to do just over 10 miles @ 7:46 pace, but I'm glad I wasn't running another 5 miles (not sure I could).

If it's anything like that a week on Sunday, then all these double-pledges for breaking 3:30 are more than safe (3:40 would be pushing it).  Still, good to get a run in that heat under my belt, and it's all downhill now until the big day.

Another thing, it's a good job I'm not a vegetarian.  I was getting revenge for anyone who's been eaten by mossies or midges today.  Must have swallowed a few hundred - don't think they provide much in the way of protein or carbs though...

If I can average 7.5mph for the marathon, I'll get round in just under 3:30.

My mate who does the marathon in 2:40 averages a speed of 9.8mph!

Paula Radcliffe ran at 11.6mph when she broke the Women's World Record in the marathon.

Haile Gebrselassie ran at 12.68mph when he ran the fastest marathon ever.

Kenenisa Bekele ran at 14.2mph when he ran the fastest 10,000m
