I must I felt a little nervous tonight. First run at the big 30mins. I need not have it went like a dream. I was in the groove, nice pace, it was cool. Feeling very good now and I have concluded it's just as mental as physical. Good luck all you runners.

I remember that startline... 3x28 in the bag... but 30 is still somehow scary! We know we can almost certainly do it... but it’s that big target timed run... it’s finishing the job we came to do. Great running there... and now you’re into the back straight of your victory lap... we’re all excited in the crowd, and that next run takes you round the final bend... then that home straight with 83k of us all cheering you over that line... enjoy closing this out

You're absolutely right a lot of it is in our head , the doubts. Then you complete your run and you wonder what you were bothered about . Well done you 😊
