There is only 17 days till my race and the taper is doing my head in. Just hoping it cools down over there - the Chicago marathon last Sunday was abandoned when they ran out of water. It was 33C!

Spot on. I'm chatting to Texans who have been training in 30C+ and it's a bit unnerving.

I heard something on the radio regarding running shoes...someone had written a report stating that after his research, he had come to the conclusion that expensive running shoes are no better than the cheaper stuff...

not quite, they said a £30 pair is just as good as a £80 pair

the £9.99 smart price ones are probaly poo.

but you can get a decant pair for £30

Could be true, however my cheap ones were rubbish and my expensive ones are great and give me the extra bit of confidence I need.

Might not be true for everyone though.
