@Idorunning Two people have ran faster than that in the last 5 years. Mo and myself. Mo: 2:05.11 (2018) myself: 2:08.14 (2019). Dewi Griffith was 9 secs of that in 2017 and Johnny Mellor was 23sec off in 2020. I would say it is pretty achievable for a Brit.
Its been a tough and very frustrating year for me. I have been suffering with an ankle issue on and off since November of last year. Constantly cutting recovery time to the bare minimum. Unfortunately this issue flared up during the Olympics and caused me to drop out. 1/3
Due to this I have had more frustration and had to withdraw from the NYC marathon. I’m gutted as I hate pulling out of any race, never mind one as big as the NYC marathon. But as I have had to take at least 8 weeks off from running I wouldn’t have been able to compete at my best.

@Steph_Rothstein@nickwillis@jgault13 Is that USADA’s rules? The rules I have to follow are that you set an hour slot each day that you have to be where you say you are and an overnight accommodation. If the come outside the hour slot they do not call me and it doesn’t count as a missed test or a filing violation.
