Light drizzle this morning but quite warm. Think I can still feel the effects of my race last Sunday. Also had a little tenderness in the arch of one of my feet. Any ideas what that is? Or how to ... read more

A couple of official photos from the Sheffield Half. I think I'll make do with the samples as I'm not paying £17.99 each!

Perfect weather this morning for a half - was a little chilly at the start line but once we got going it was perfect, even a little sun! My official finishing time was 1:52:03 - I came 2256/5398. I... read more

Yeah the sprint finish is great. We will probably get an email from marathon photos in the next couple of days where you can buy the video of crossing the line. Its a rip off but you can watch it for free. I agree the dual carriageway bit is a little dull, the Sheffield 10K has a bit like that in it too.

Sounds like great fun being able to see yourself crossing the finish line. I can imagine how much they must charge for the video, especially with them being able to market it as a 'stadium finish'. I don't think I'll be parting with any cash but I would definitely enjoy watching it, despite the fact I won't be looking too good in it after tackling those Sheffield hills!

Current forecast reckons it should be between 10-13C between 9-11am - Lets hope so!!! Good few miles before race day! I missed out on the run I meant to get in yesterday and I'm too scared to chance it now with it being so close to race day. Just lots of pasta for me (and one naughty take away) See you out there;)

Perfect running temps this morning. Legs felt like lead at the start but loosened up after a mile or two. Hoping to get out once more before my half on Sunday.

Nice work, Adam. Dealing with the heat those first few times is, to me, really hard! Let me know if you find a hat you like. I always say I'm going to get one but never have found one that I could tolerate unless it's raining and I need to keep the water off my glasses...

If it's like it was today; on Sunday I may be loitering around the water stations:s

WOAH! They call that 'nearly flat'!!! OK... replace 'around the hills' with 'over the hills' and 'winding through' with 'fighting through' and they may just have an honest slogan there. I suppose the second half is largely down hill so maybe we'll be able to get a negative split even though I'm pretty sure a PB will be out of the question:)

I'll be one of the backup singers! It's plenty hot for running right now so when it gets between 20-30c it's gonna get tougher. That's when my long run will change at the last minute from 10 miles to 5. Great morning run to kick off the day Adam!

I had a similar injury last year after trying out a technique that is meant to make you run faster. I just decreased my milage and lengthened my rest periods for a couple of weeks and then everything was back to normal. I don't have anything more useful (or less obvious) for you I'm afriad.
