    I'm sure most are aware of the need to 'get in the zone' in advance of an important race. One Boardsie who, based on his recent improvements across the distances, is getting it right is Robinph.

    Before Robinph shares with us how he mentally prepares for each race - anyone like to guess what might be going on in his mind before the Cork Marathon - where 'doing it for the team' was clearly on his mind.

    I'm sure it went something like:

    Stretching - Check
    Hydration - Check
    Laces tied - Check
    Must not trip over speed bumps - Checking!

    You know, I just can't decide if it's her sunny personality or her work with sick homeless puppies from Equador that makes me like her so much.

    "Mmmmmm boobies"
