Buttercup Wouldn't mind breaking my pb....!! Think it depends how busy the course is. ......(after the race).... Great race! Lovely organisation, but spending all of the day before stripping wallpaper is not great race preparation. 30 secs or so outside my pb, bit annoyed but I'll just have to beat it another time!

Fitguy Caught the 6.34am train up, meeting Nick at Faversham. It was perfect conditions for this well organised race through London's landmarks, and we were in the Red A pen, so a bit nervous about getting in the way of the really fast runners! Cloudy but not cols & only light wind. Nick & I went off well & he was only 20secs back at 5k. I kept up a fast pace throughout & felt the pain for the last 2 k, but beat the 42 minutes mark (as instructed by Flo) finishing in a new PB of 41'54 - and I was amazed to see I was 1st in the Unaffiliated 41:54 41:54 43:00 41:54 78.28
FitterStu Ran well for first 7K and then started to struggle. Still a PB, but may have been worse actual performance than Edinburgh, 3 weeks before. It is possible that standing, jumping and drinking in pub watching Rangers win the league on the afternoon before may have caused some extra fatigue. The course was excellent and was really well organised. Good atmosphere and the weather got it just about right. Unaffiliated 49:11 52:54 1:02:00 1:03:31 44.67
Footpad It cannot possibly rain anymore than last year! Was my fave 10K of last year tho :-) Another new shiny PB!! Oh and I went through 5 miles faster than 2 weeks ago so I can do that quicker too! Was a great run. Race very well organised. Route is magic especially through Ledenhall Market, past St Pauls, Mansion House.... totally PB-Tastic! Official time 3 secs quicker than Garmin! Saw One Ronaldo, Ragged Sporran, DIYDiva, BCRB and Gymfreak. Was a good day to be running... no monsoon rain, sun stayed hidden behind light cloud... :-) Unaffiliated 49:30 49:39 49:59 49:39 57.60

Ginger Chicken My Garmin says I did 10km in 39m30s. The only thing is that the finish line was still 200m away at that point. No excuses - still a good, fast time and if I lose a bit more weight I'll be flying. I have a month until my club 10km race. Wimbledon Windmilers 39:14 39:47 39:30 40:06 66.85

oceanspirit I am really pleased with my time. I knew I wasn't going to do better than a PB. My goal was to get around without the my hamstring stopping me. And I achieved my goal! My hamstring was alright all the way round the course. The one and only time I actually felt any little niggle was doing a 90degree turn towards the horse guards after the 9k mark. The weather was much better this year which made the course much more enjoyable. I loved coming around to the corner to see St. Pauls Cathedral. Loved running up towards trafalgar square. Loved running down the Mall. Loved starting at Buckingham Palace. Unaffiliated 1:00:53 1:00:53 1:09:50 43.44

Race Jase Unofficial time. HeartRate through the roof. Averaged 199! that's not good, thought I was going to have a heart attack at mile five. Still, very pleased with the PB. I know I can go quicker too as I'd only done 43 miles since 26th April. Great event, lots of support and supert drummers. Garmin had it as 6.41 miles but then it always over eggs it, doesn't it!

Steve Bienvenu Awesome race!!! Due to injury I was struggling to even run 6 miles in the weeks uilding up to the race and I couldn't run any faster then 6:30 pace in training. When I got to the start line I realised I was starting about 10metres behind Mo Farah, so that got my adrenaline running, My pla was to take it easy but when the race started I just got carried away with the crowd, my first 2 miles were 5:30 and 5:40 which I knew was way too fast but it felt comfortable. I managed to stick to 6min miles after this and it was only with 1.5 miles left I really started to struggle because of the lack of training. I managed to put in a strong sprint finish which got me across the line in 38:10 and I finished 73rd out of 12,500. Doing it again this year, hopefully sub 37min and another top 100 finiah Guernsey Island AAC 33:39 38:10 39:00 38:10 70.00

YoungWallace Very well organised race. Slow first kilometre as expected in traffic at the start, then a nice track round the streets of london for a bit. A bit stuffy to run in with a breeze into the face for a bit along the Thames on the way out. 0-5km 19:52 5-10km 19:20 Happy with result - bit tired at the end.
