Extra training tip: all the fast kids stop at 26 miles to pee before finishing.

ha, good one!
I watched a half once after having to pull out of it at the last minute. There was this kid (19ish) coming in really fast, great time, and I thought to myself that he looked really really sick. As he bounded towards the finish line he seemed to look sicker and sicker, kind of hunched over as he ran. Then it happened, once, twice, but he didn't lose his stride.
Pretty gross, but still pretty funny.
Ok - I am going to run 3.30 or as close as possible. At least under 4 hrs. Here you go,interesting link an interview Steve Jones who still holds the british record in the Marathon at 2hr 07min 13sec. Basically saying that sports nutrition, cross training, etc largely don't add that much value. “To improve at running, you run,” I think just looking at the content on this board there is too much "analysis paralysis"from runners. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/other-sports-news/interview-steve-jones-why-over-complication-of-a-simple-sport-has-caused-britain-to-fall-behind-africa-1.1016102
