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 70.27

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 67.17

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.

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 50.54
