...awww. Not quite in Trin's league Giles, I'd say the only tips I'm good at giving are PG ones at the moment!....other than I'd say give injuries a proper chance to heal before getting itchy and impatiently going out for a run. Its OK - I didn't go far... I just wanted to see....
More rest!!

absolutely right Hrun!
So long as SB is sensible with injury problems... which I know she is, eh SB
As for tips... you obviously know what to do after your success in Eddy, so more of the same really.
Although Amsterdam is a very flat mara you should do regular hill reps sessions in your training for the strength factor.
Also, if you can, do long flat out and backs... because there is a section of the course that is like that around a lake, which a lot of people found tedious. I didn't because at the time I was battling with my leg injury and focused on moving through pain
But honestly Ros, I think if you train smart and carry on as you are going you will have a fantastic race with a good PB

Ooooooooooo sounds good
I can do out and back - and a group of us are training together (2 others doing Abingdon which is the same day as Amsterdam - which works out nicely). In the plan we have a few loops of Dracote - which after just one loop the other night - I can tell you will definitely be good training for the tedious flat bits!! (Sounds like Edinburgh!)

I thought I would just do a little post on here about tonights track session - it was awesome I really didn't think I would be able to do it tonight... I struggled last week at the track when I was raring to go! I did intervals at the track, 6x 800m with 400m recoveries (and warm up/ cool down...about 11km total.)
I managed to do the intervals all under my target of 4.35min/kms...averaging 4.32 or 7.19 min/miles. Getting closer to that next (sub) target of nearer to a 45min 10km I didn't do any limericks - I am wondering if that was what slowed me down last week... fun as it was - maybe you need a clear head to concentrate on speeding up leg turnover - which I found REALLY helped
