Bintmcskint Decided to treat this is as training LSR simply because I haven't done the training and it would have been foolish to push it. Slowed down considerably after around 8 miles but was determined to run the whole way (which I did) and finish in under 2:15 (which I also did - just!) Time to crack on with preparation for St Neots now. Unaffiliated 1:39:28 2:14:34 2:14:34 51.23

Chubbz My first half marathon in over 4 years. Very little training. Managed 9 miles with no problems then ran/walked the rest. Very good race, well organised and a huge turn out, would like to do it again! Gainsborough & Morton Striders AC 2:07:30 2:22:26 2:22:26 45.86

Edster Hopefully I won't get injured before this one like I did just before my first one in Stafford! SHOULD be a PB! I was injured a few weeks beforehand so didn't get to train much at all! Was determined to beat my PB though. :-) Royal Sutton Coldfield AC 2:13:03 2:13:03 2:12:00 2:13:03 44.40

GDownes Best 'big city' half around - very scenic, interesting route, good organisation, proper T-shirt and nice food-fair after, recommended. Happy with my time after a summer disrupted by injury. Ealing Eagles Running Club 1:33:54 1:36:45 1:45:00 1:42:54 56.74
Ginger Chicken First half done in 44.29 but couldn't keep it going for the second half, just didn't have it in me to do a sub 90 minute half so I suffered for the second. I will destroy this result (which is a significant PB in it's own right) next March when I do my pre-London Marathon half (probably Bath). The race was impeccably organised - great communication and well place water stations with bottles w/sports caps. Nice sustainable wooden medal is a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

mackfly PB - nice running condition on a flat course. 1st mile was inneviatably too fast. Settled in and then began to drift to 6.41 at mile 5. I then ran with a Mornington Chaser till mile 11 steadily passing people. Last few miles were quite hard and my form was a bit ragged. Pleased with time having fouled up 3 half marathons ( Wokingham, Burnham Beeches and MK ) over the Summer. Negative split by about 45 secs, 1/2 way point 42.23, about 90th place at 1/2 point, passed by none in 2nd half. 53rd/10,000 Unaffiliated 1:24:01 1:24:01 1:24:01 70.64
Mandymoo Really want to do a sub 2 hr on this one but due to being injured and not being able to train too much (and putting on a bit of weight) really cannot see it happening so will now be happy with under 2.30 Unaffiliated 2:04:58 2:11:00 2:30:00 2:22:00 48.55

Vicksta A surprising PB in the lovely Royal Parks Half Marathon. Hadn't slept very well so set off like a zombie, but felt pretty comfortable about 7:20 pace, so stuck to that until the inclines in the park. Really enjoyed the race once more, it is such a scenic course. Started only about 8 rows from the front, fantastic! Unfortunately Ben Fogle beat me this year. Harlow RC 1:36:55 1:36:55 1:36:55 67.95
