Last year I had a really great run at Elgin. 2014 race report here.
I am in overall better shape than I was going into this weekend compared to last year but I don't think I am in quite as good running shape as I was and the forecast suggests that it is unlikely to be quite such good weather. In short don't expect to run as good a time as last year. My target for this year is set to run twice under 44 minutes, this is going to be a big ask.
With all that in mind, last year I didn't think I was in particularly good shape going in to the race either and I still came out with a great time. I am going to prepare slightly better going into the race year. I am travelling three days ahead and putting an easy day and a rest day in. I know the new course now, so I won't be surprised by the lumps or the trail section. So it is actually possible that I could get at least close to the target, if not close to last year's time.
