Hi Folks, Trained hard for this years VLM and was aiming for a 3.30! This prediction based on training and a couple of good 20\'s times. It didn\'t happen and so i am now looking for a low key Autumn UK Marathon in which to redeem myself for the poor VLM performance. Can anyone recommend a good one? Thanks. |

The only thing I'd say about Chester is that this is only the 2nd year, and it's a totally different course to last year which is presumably what was being reviewed. That's not to say it's bad, just something to bear in mind. It's Liverpools first this year. |

You did say you wanted a completely flat marathon with plenty of other runners but with plenty of room to move, didn't you? I can vouch for it, I ran 3.27 there off a 3.47 VLM last year. |

DeeGee, You hit the Nail on the head! That's exactly what I want.... I managed a very frustrating 3.55 in this years VLM...partly down to my own inexperience, but also as a result of feeling like i was tripping up over the runner in front of me all the time! Mablethorpe or Chester then! Thanks |

Hi Stevierobbo if you are thinking about Mablethorpe TRO Saracen has just posted a link to his blog of the race on the Mablethorpe Marathon thread. Maybe worth a read. |
