_Pre_ Ran my first half (Bristol) Six months good training! endurance in the legs needed as was on for 2:25 at Bristol until Cramp got the better of my left calf. Cardio fine no issues with the distance lung wise, wil be following a well thought out plan from 18 weeks out. UKnetrunner 2:50:16 2:40:00

B Rubble Very poor race. Started off OK but seemed to fade quite quickly. Felt cr@p and tired very early on. Lots of excuses but no-one needs to hear them. Dursley Running Club 1:25:12 1:27:30 1:31:36 66.31
Badger Paced Tom to sub-2; aiming for 1.55, missed it by 11 seconds (he was fading in the last mile) They utterly cocked up the start, it was an hour late! The end was very crowded, gave up on trying to get a much-needed space blanket at the end. FERC 1:39:51 1:55:11 1:58:00 1:55:11 52.73

Blister Well part from the crappy weather, VERY muddy runners village and start being delayed by 1 hour the race was good, weather cleared up by the time we started but was still pretty cold (arms were numb the whole time) but good conditions for running. Well OK I had a bad run, had stitch until about about 5 miles then had little energy and felt 'weak' after that until the end but I still took over 5 minutes off my previous PB plus ran a 10 mile PB too (1:03:35) and enjoyed having so many spectators on the course. My finish position was 237 out of 10054. Anyway I had a great time with SarahL and that really made my weekend...thank you Sarah :-) TeamBath AC, Somer AC, Walton AC 1:23:57 1:23:57 1:24:00 1:23:57 69.06
Blonde Hard work... To say the least, not feeling 100 %, cold and flu. NICE !! but gave it a go, hard not to when you've put in the hard work trainig ! Only decided to run when I got there.. First 9/10 miles good and on track for sub 1 hr 35 mins, last3/4 miles hurt and finished feeling complete whacked...

drunkenmunky First time for Bath Half. Looking forward to it. Heard theres a great atmosphere at this race. Not going to be flat out at this one. Just going to enjoy and to raise a bit of money for charity! Very hard going, especially the last few miles. Paid for the lack of training due to injury.

gray 10 secs off a pb - this I put down to training, running 3 miles each way to work carrying a backpack loaded with a copy of Runners World and the previous week's Sunday Times, or it could have been the best part of a family pack of Minstrels I scoffed the day before.....anyway, the delays and general faff at both ends were more than made up for by the fact that this is a good, flat, very well supported race in a great city with a top goodie bag (if you could lay your hands on one, of course....). However, the glimpse of the runner dressed in only (his wife's?) lime green leotard is still giving me nightmares. Cranleigh Tortoise & Hare Runners 1:50:59 1:50:59 1:57:26 54.38

Heavyweight May be just taking this one easy - depends on Silverstone the week before. **update** The secret for PBing is obviously to stand around in the cold for an hour & and a half beforehand.

norm1976 My first race, have right knee injury but chose to ignore it! No problems with organisation, arrived early for park and ride and only waited 5 minutes for the bus. The only negatives I have is that the runners village looked like a battlefield!also some of the marshalls/stewards were a bit rude,( and obviously the 1 hour delay was not brilliant.) But despite that enjoyed the experience and raised lots of money for charity. Unaffiliated 1:34:33 1:52:58 2:15:00 1:59:23 48.56

Strider Managed to get a late entry to this fast course so hopefully a big PB. Hopefully the conditions are good. Well, the conditions weren't the greatest, but the crowds were awesome and I ran comfortably so not a bad effort.

theraithrover Considering the shambolic organisation, not least of all the hour start delay which left us cold and malnourished, I was delighted at running 1:53 in my first 'half' at the young age of 53. 1st 10k in 1hr then upped the pace. There must be life in the old legs yet. South West Veterans AC 1:33:28 1:42:20 2:10:00 1:53:22 58.33

tjrunning I never run very well at Bath (this will be my 4th) but I am optomistic that with the right training I will achieve my target of 1 hr 40 Well the delayed start did me no favours (although it did mean that it did not rain during the race) as I got my hydration all wrong and had to do a 'Paula' but actual running time was good. I went of at a moderate pace (for once) and was then able to finish the race strongly, first 10km was 49 mins. I missed out on a PB but overall was happy with my performance.

WineRunner52 Quite happy with time - not dead flat and the delay and cold probably didn't help. Weather is beyond organiser's control - but it had been predicted for at least 3 days and I still don't know why the start was delayed. Tried to park at Lansdown P & R - gave up as probably no spaces but the queue for the bus (where were they!!) was horrendous. However found a car park near start and exit after race was easy. Finish was a melee - missed both drink and space blanket - and why isn't the T-shirt a Road Runners Club 1:29:23 1:45:39 1:50:00 1:50:17 62.17
