Roll on Sunday, really hope we get the chance to catch up and you get to meet some of the others. It feels like a busy schedule before so I’d be happy if you wanted to ditch something to leave you fresher for Sunday. See how the weeks unfolds, but you don’t want to toe the start line feeling exhausted.

Stick to your goal pace early on and it should feel easy. Dig deep in those final 5km to achieve your goal. The biggest mistake you can make is getting swept along in the early stages and going off too fast.
