Are you doing the NDW100? I've got London 2 Brighton in 3 weeks and using it as a qualifier.

Good luck!

Just updated my blog if anyone's interested! www.alexultraruns.blogspot.com

Could meet you up on the downs then, I'll let you know when I'm running long distance again

Ah not to far from me then! Might take me a couple of months to get back up to speed. But when I am can meet you on the roundabout near Burgess Hill (on the way to Ditchling) and could run to Alfriston or Eastbourne?

I've just started a blog on blogger about my journey to my first 100 mile run in August. It's a diary I suppose, thought it'd be good to share and hopefully I'll learn some things. Link is as follows! http://alexultraruns.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

Apparently 2 seconds!

Also good to remember that a stitch will take the same amount of time to go whether you carry on running or stop.

Also before you buy them, make sure they're designed for road/ trail. Some are designed for fell, some just trail.

Trail shoes clear the mud better from the soles of the shoe, if it's really muddy then no road shoes aren't good enough. I've spent hundreds of pounds on different trail shoes, and honestly the best pair I've ever had were mountain warehouse own brand trail shoes. Very similar to salomons, but...

Honestly there's not all that much difference between trail and road shoes unless it's really muddy. One difference is that trail shoes are generally neutral, in that they don't offer protection from over pronation etc...which you don't need with the varying terrain. I still slip wearing trail...

I have a leg length discrepancy of 5mm and use a 5mm heel raise in my right shoe. Physio said it was the likely cause of my shin splints that I had real bad months ago. The shin splints wet after putting the heel raise in my shoe. 10mm is a huge difference! I believe it's 4mm or over can...

I got my shoes from runners need, which is in the snow and rock shop in the laines. The bloke who dealt with me was superb!

I hate being injured, I've still got another 5 weeks before I can start light running. It's doing my head in too!!!

Got mine off eBay for a tenner including delivery!

Wouldn't want my wife walking in on me doing that!!

That can be painful though. I think the idea of the other leg on the floor is to take some weight off if it hurts to much. I have to take a bit of weight off, or I can't do it

This is how I use the foam roller for my IT band http://youtu.be/RoHBDim_fzk

Agree with what dazzer said above. Also there's some good stretches for your IT band. They say that you shouldn't increase your distance more than 10% a week. I have got more injuries doing short fast runs, than longer slow runs. But everyone's different.....

Is it easy to get lost in the London 2 Brighton? I was hoping to stick with some people so I don't get lost. But with only 500 runners over 62 miles, it's bound to get sparse...
