Iain, you could break 3.40 if you swam to bideford from braunton biked tp pensilva then run it ya muppet!! here we go.........wating for the excuses to come.........
Ouch, Berlin is fast but I still think amsterdam is better, flat dont really suit me to be honestso must get on the bike to strenghten the quads for the constant flat, did berlin in 2003 so I know what to expect.
Not heard to the fast mile thing, but I do know carb depletion sun-wed then carb load works, its hard and you feel like crap it can also pick up a cold as you deplete. dont do it anymore, I just eat really healthy now till friday then sat carboload a bit, not much tho, seem to run better not feeling to bloated by carbs! I use gels and have a good breakfast so that seems to be working of late, 2.56 at wolves 3.02 at eden and a 2.56 the week after at D Vale then a 1.20.00 at stroud half the wk after that seems to work!! but does show to me I should be running faster than 2.56, thats why I eneterd berlin! only just recovered from it tho!!
Iain, Dont forget that Ironman Kona medal......I wanna see it!! Ill text you later in wk about lift etc.
