No don't worry I'm not planning to launch into a political debate on Dwain Chambers ....
The issue I have is how to go past 15 miles. Today I did twice round Richmond Park, the furthest LSR (Long Slow Run) so far -- 2 1/2 hours. I honestly can't image doing another 2 hours or so on top of that.
Jim Desmond has suggested using Go-Gel -- its like pure isotonic dectrose rocket fuel in a sachet; I'm sure that Paula Radcliffe doesn't need such artifical stimulants but she is not from this planet, so I'm off to Boots tomorrow to score and when I have recovered enough to venture out on the roads again will take one hit 10 minutes before kick-off and see whether that helps .....
Wednesday I did a fast 5 km 24:45 on the treadmill. Next weekend I am joining the boys for a 9am Wimbledon Common run www.parkrun.com but anticipate it being more of a "fun run" followed by a fry-up in the village
