- What's the best thing you've received in a race goodie bag
A much needed energy bar, consumed in a nanosecond post-race, and washed down with yet another freebie, a can of Lucozade.
- How long have you been running for
Did a stint of running 10-15Km every day in Italy, then stopped until 3 months ago. Now back up to decent (time) standard, just gotta start working on speed.
- Would you rather have sex or a great run
Sex every time.... then go for a long run after with a huge grin on my face!
- What is your favourite season for running
Summer - the hotter the better, as long as it's not humid
- Who do you most like to run with
On my own - I can feel my own rhythm and go with flow maaaaaan
- How many miles do you run a week
What are miles? Aren't they banned now the UK has joined the rest of metric world?
No idea - tend to regularly do a 2-3 hours, so prob around 20-30Km?
- Today's an 'easy' training day, what's your minute-mile pace
Prob around 10kph - easy for me would mean recovering from a long/interval run
- For or against? Sex the night before a race
Against - well known physiological fact that you suffer a dip in vital energy post-coitus
- For or against? Race cut-off times
Depends - generally against but there may be safety reasons, e.g., how long do you wait for the last person on an IM?
- For or against? Running with headphones
Depends - where it's safe, I like to wear them and listen to Podrunner. Never on the public road, though - that's just suicidal.

84% for, 16% against
I'm really surprised at this, considering that most professional (male) athletes would never dream of any such activity the night before a race/match/fight. Most top-flight European football clubs have an active ban on their players losing their... errr... testosterone, as their performance has been shown to drop substantially the following day.
