It promises to be one of the highlights of the endurance calendar and this year we are fortunate as the race returns to its spiritual home of Parliament Hill in London.

I\'ve had some mixed emotions about the past week and it\'s been difficult to assess both whether I\'m struggling or doing fine and also how to react to that.

It’s always a challenge when the snow and ice comes along to keep training http://www.runnerslife.co.uk/darren-deed/blog/update-12-02-2012/1105 /update-12-02-2012/1105 sports/athletics/running/runners blogs/blogs/training/track and field/cross country Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:30:42 GMT http://www.runnerslife.co.uk/includes/images/runnersprofile_new/darren.jpg I always kind of had 32/33 years of age in my head where I would not make my running the priority anymore and that is still the case, but I am sure time is getting quicker as I edge closer.
