good luck in Zurich

[MickCollins]

I'd second that. Been reading the various thoughts and reports on here for a while, and thought it was time to break cover and wish Andy and everyone else who's got a race charging at them over the horizon, the very best of luck.

I'm running my first marathon in London on the 23rd, and have found it really helpful, and often inspiring, to read about ordinary runners, fitting their training around ordinary lives, and overcoming ordinary doubts and concerns. I've certainly found it more useful than reading about the preparations of a super-athlete, whose weekly mileage I wouldn't match if I included the distances I've driven, as well as run.

I hope everyone enjoys their runs, and achieves the targets they've set themselves.

And Andy, I hope QPR explain why they're so intent on tearing themselves apart before too long. I used to love interviewing Holloway, and with him gone, football's got even blander still - not a step it could really afford to take...
