Nice one MLCM. Chris looks nothing like you!
You're in the driving seat now for P2P. I think it's just a question of preparing your body for the specifics of the race now, as you say. Get used to relentless uphill running. But mentally and physically you're looking good to kick it's ar*e. And you're right about the emphasis on keeping the weight down. It's half the battle. And if you can stay on top of it you're making it so much easier for yourself.
It's time I did a half marathon. Mrs G has done 3 in the last 3 weeks (The Yorkshireman, The Great North Run and Great Langdale). All difficult courses. So she's on a roll. She's not been doing much in-between, just banging out a half every weekend!
The longest training run I've done over the last 6 months has been about 9 miles. I've got a couple of 8-10 mile races in November so I could reach-up for a half marathon soon after that I reckon. As vets we should probably be looking to the longer distances to play to our strengths.
Hope it keeps going smoothly.
