James' warm-up recipe for the Essex 20
| 
James warmed up for the Essex 20 with an early morning Aquathon - 400 metre swim, plus a 5K run in 19:52. He then travelled to Great Bromley and completed the 20 in 2;16:32, 10 minutes faster than he ran the same course last year. A few weeks ago, James did a similar morning double before the Great Bentley half-marathon where he set a PB. Does this tell us something about proper warm-ups!! Greg and Martin opted for a more conventional warm-up, with Greg finishing in a strong 2;17 to set a new personal best by six minutes and Martin not far from his best in 2;36:24.
