Have got Blackpool Marathon the week after tho so not sure if it's a good idea to push hard at Wilmslow or just treat it as a training run and plod round.

I lost 3 minutes off my target pace last year in the first mile so maybe you should leave it in the lap of the congestion gods and see where you are after 2 - 3 miles. On target would be a bonus !
Silkman Mar 2009 2:46pm, 4 Mar 2009 73 posts	Quote Pin Silkman Could be a good idea that. The congestion is a problem although with chipped timing being introduced this year you shouldn't lose too much time just getting to the start line.
RooA Mar 2009 2:48pm, 4 Mar 2009 12,054 posts	Quote Pin RooA TBB, I think you should decide whether to push for a fast time or not based on how you feel after Grindleford by the way.
Theboybarry Mar 2009 3:18pm, 4 Mar 2009 301 posts	Quote Pin Theboybarry Roo, I did 16 miles over muddy fields yesterday in prep for Grindleford. My legs are ragging me now ! At the moment I'm either going to hammer it and go for a pb or hang back and just try to beat last years time (1:56). I'm contemplating using it as the middle section of a long run on the day as part of marathon prep. That frightens me a little just typing it so maybe not.

As for the congestion in my experience have to start nearish the front (not quite beside runningbob but a few rows behind him )
