Chappy I ran this race on a whim. I haven't trained for a 1/2 for a good 18 months, in fact I haven't run over 10 miles for that long. I took it steady and ran with one the guys from the club to help me keep a manageable pace. From 11 miles it was hard, the lack of distance training was evident, however, I was pleased with 8th.

RFJ Planning this as a long trg run...... will be a PW most likely and gained.... A rarity - A Race Report from me. RACE REPORT - Vale of Pewsey 1/2 Mara Conditions started off being hot then half hour before clouded over - perfect. The plan today was to get a PW! Strange you may say, but no, I wanted a motivator to get me back into long running again after my knee injury, so planned this race, and to run it at a pace that I would enjoy and be able to handle on the day..... meet up with a few forumites from RW threads which was good. Pace wise wanted to keep around 8:30 -8:45 with the hills. so off we go on a nice undulating course: 1m - 8:43 (Inc a pee stop) 2m - 8:49 up and down 3m - 8:23 feeling OK and chatting a plenty 4m - 8:40 And a long Hill up, tag on with a group 5m - 8:17 On to the flat and still comfy 6m - 8:06 A bit fast, but moving with the group 7m - 8:06 Same as mile 6, but group start to speed up so let them go 8m - 8:02 Still going too fast, but chatting again (possible cause) 9m - 8:31 Back to the undulations 10m - 8:19 Catch 2 of the group that I let go 11m - 8:51 Dont know what happened here as lost no ground 12m - 8:08 Know sub 1:50 is on so start kicking and passing several who are finding it hard. 13m - 8:00 Still pushing despite a long drag up hill, get taken by two runners as I take 4 others 0.10 - 42 secs push for the line and get anotehr just before the line Finish with a 1:49:45 So plan achieved a PW by 3 mins, dont care about that as the run was good, and the objective well and truely achieved - I can now use this and push on. Thanks to all the marshalls - you were great today. Take care Swindon Striders 1:23:56 1:39:23 1:55:00 1:49:45 54.11

Wilbur Lovely route, good organisation and just a personal shame that the knee problem caused me from missing out on what was a definite PB. Still, nothing structural wrong according to the physio so just need to stretch/strengthen and grit my teeth. Purple Patch Runners 1:53:35 1:53:35 1:55:17 50.35
