sugs Looking forward to this and hoping to shave a little bit off my last half marathon time.  

Well i did it.  Stuck more or less with the 8 mile marker, she beat me by one second.  Acutally wasnt the plan but just went for it.  Really pleased with the result.  thanks to all that bet on me.

jennywren Going to try to run with the 11 min/mile RW pacers as a 'tester' for the London Marathon. Failing that, I'll do the 'Get you Round' pacer instead!

Yay! I did it - stayed with the pacer and felt fantastic! Bollington Harriers 2:05:31 2:20:30 2:15:00 2:22:32 55.80

My poor knees... Am running for Mencap in the London Marathon (first time) and really want to do the London in less than 4 hours, so this run will hopefully give me an indicator of if what I am doing is right!! Please fell free to give me any tips.

:-)

Have just seen that this race is doing the same lap twice!!! I am not looking forward to this at all now.

:-(

UPDATE:

Horrible horrible run. Never again. Would have preferred one long lap rather than 2 short laps, followed by 2 long ones!!! 
Mustn't complain too much, as this is my best time ever for a half.
:-)
 Apart from the course (that I hated), it was well organised and the atmosphere was great, with some helpful commentary by the MC.
Special mention to John Winters who seemed to be a celebrity on the course (everyone knew him): well done on your time and hope your injury is behind you mate. Unaffiliated 1:48:18 1:48:18 2:10:00 1:48:18 53.69
