thanks all.

It really does reaffirm your faith in human nature to see how much Claire has raised postumously, over 300k now.

Saw a guy running it in a pompey shirt, so obviously gave him a big shout out (i had a megaphone which helped get the message across).

Well done Nderfel fantastic performance, I'm hoping to do it next year so some big training to come for me! :evil:

thank mate.... the part of training i found the most benefical is the shorter fast stuff, the longer plodding running is pretty easy once you get going but make sure you add in the biggest hills you can find, the harder you make the training the easier it will be on the day.

Good luck

Now nudging £900k all in, JustGiving have waived their fee and the Samaritans have left it to Claire's family to decide what to do with it all.

An amazing response.

Amazing what happens when a cause gets fashionable. Top response.

The Samaritans are probably wondering what the hell they can spend it on. Mobile Response Unit, with prozac and booze?

Probably not a game you should admit to at a job interview, but for a truly staggering experience just sit on her page and hit refresh every few seconds. Its overwhelming to see the total just continuously rise.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
