Its all a bit complicated because 100k (which in my mind is proper ultra) is GB Teams.<br /><br />Hopefully it turns out to better preparation for next year than getting blown away in Berlin.<br /><br />AdrianAdrian Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254864016238563767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671152611316159140.post-24235308598484733572009-09-09T12:01:50.752+01:002009-09-09T12:01:50.752+01:00Well it's certainly different!

Having watched London the last few years from the streets can certainly understand your concerns - after the two elite packs come through halfway in something like 61:30 and 63 minutes then the gaps are absolutely huge. The pacing of most runners seems odd as well- why athletes who will end up running 2:15 think something closer to 64 minutes for the half is a sensible opening split is beyond me.<br /><br />Best of luck though- will you be representing GB?BrynRunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10153103443096694717noreply@blogger.com
