That's an interesting one Rick. I'd read about that recently. No problem with vitamin D down here - plenty of sun - except for mid-winter late afternoon runs I guess.

Well done on the 3 hour hill run - good Lydiard-style long one.

Thanks, it was good to know I've still got the endurance for a long one!
Ewen, do you have a season when there are out breaks of flu and colds? Does it happen around your mid-winter?
Also If you read the report on Vit D and performance you will see that even athletes living in a year round sunny climate can be loe in Vit G.
