10 miles is too much a week before? damm that is a cut back from my other marathon in which I did a 1/2 a week before.

OK 1/3 distance a week before the next one? I did six miles on the Tuesday before the race 3 easy then 3 almost flat out, is that too much?

I am pleased with my recovery I did a active recovery by cycling on Tuesday and Wednesday, on the Tuesday I could not run but yesterday I did a sub 40 10K, although my hamsting went again at half way so I had to slow down a bit in the second half of the race, I finished walking the last 100 yards.

I am thinking Chester Marathon at the end of the year to have another crack at sub 3, any thoughts?

Well done everybody else who ran the Manchester.
