Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

mackfly PB - nice running condition on a flat course. 1st mile was inneviatably too fast. Settled in and then began to drift to 6.41 at mile 5. I then ran with a Mornington Chaser till mile 11 steadily passing people. Last few miles were quite hard and my form was a bit ragged. Pleased with time having fouled up 3 half marathons ( Wokingham, Burnham Beeches and MK ) over the Summer. Negative split by about 45 secs, 1/2 way point 42.23, about 90th place at 1/2 point, passed by none in 2nd half. 53rd/10,000

Vicksta A surprising PB in the lovely Royal Parks Half Marathon. Hadn't slept very well so set off like a zombie, but felt pretty comfortable about 7:20 pace, so stuck to that until the inclines in the park. Really enjoyed the race once more, it is such a scenic course. Started only about 8 rows from the front, fantastic! Unfortunately Ben Fogle beat me this year.

Ginger Chicken First half done in 44.29 but couldn't keep it going for the second half, just didn't have it in me to do a sub 90 minute half so I suffered for the second. I will destroy this result (which is a significant PB in it's own right) next March when I do my pre-London Marathon half (probably Bath). The race was impeccably organised - great communication and well place water stations with bottles w/sports caps. Nice sustainable wooden medal is a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

Bintmcskint Decided to treat this is as training LSR simply because I haven't done the training and it would have been foolish to push it. Slowed down considerably after around 8 miles but was determined to run the whole way (which I did) and finish in under 2:15 (which I also did - just!) Time to crack on with preparation for St Neots now.
