Nice work EG - didn't really take that long to regain that endurance fitness did it?

Re the iPlods, I have to say I don't miss them at all in races, despite them - as you say - having a very positive effect on training runs. I think races are such a different world that it seems a shame (not to mention antisocial and downright flippin' dangerous) to cocoon one's self in your little training mode world when you have people all around to interact with.

Fantastic devices for training, but really they have no place in races, and for basically the same reason mp3-device-wearing is banned for cyclists (well, here at least it is) - it reduces your awareness and makes you a hazard.

I'll get off me soap box now.

But nice running EG, very well done indeed.
