Great post. Though you forgot spending most of Saturday getting an elaborate tattoo on your arm with the directions to McGrattan's for post-DCM pints

I'm in Wave 3 (blue). I'm pretty sure when i entered Wave 3 was 3:59-4:29 whereas that sheet indicates 4:05-4:35 which puts the 4:30 pacers at the back of wave 3 instead of in Wave 4 as expected. It doesn't make much odds to me at this stage but it is confusing 0 -

They tweeted that the sheet above was a mistake, that it was a copy of 2016. The times on the entry of sub 3:40, 3:40-3:59, etc are the accurate waves. Lazare queried it with them.0 -

Good to see positivity , the best races I've ran I've limped to the start line don't underestimate the adrenaline if your close go for it . I'm kinda worried i'm not in pain now! my recent 5k pb i couldn't hold a jog to the start line.
My 2 cents if i've pains I don't go to a physio I try to listen to my body , this is probably not great advice but it has helped me run pain free even in the middle of runs where I have developed pain , if it helps fine if not ignore it im not a doctor.
If I get pains anywhere I generally try to increase my leg turnover try to run with your legs landing below your body and not outstretched in front of you , this is often a huge help to me and most of the time is a big help, try to run light and keep good form , if I get calf pain I actively try to use other muscles so try to use my thigh muscles concentrate on pulling them up and down.
Hopefully you can do it , if you did 8 miles on your own in pain its possible you can do it with really good running form. Good luck0 -

Ariana listen to the advice of the Physio.....hopefully you get some good news today. As we have already said there will be other marathons if you don't make this one.
Fingers crossed for some good news!
Yip absolutely don't worry i will do as i'm told. If i'm not fit to run i will support all the rest of you and cry into my beer afterwards when you're all showing off your bling
