Slider45 Everything went to plan - all positives and no issues.  Great to have the stadium finish.  Atmosphere excellent and course predominantly flat.  Nice solid medal as well...! Valley Striders AC 1:16:18 1:20:53 1:21:28 71.18
giggsy Cool and drizzly - ideal weather for running!  Tried to start at a steady pace instead of haring off and other than flagging alittle at 11 miles pretty pleased with everything.   Dipped under 1:25 for the first time so really pleased with my time and fingers crossed means things should look good for the Edinburgh Marathon next month and a possible sub 3hr finish, just need to get stuck into the training between now and the end of may.

Trehis Fabulous race for me, felt as though I would not get under 1.30 for much of the race, so very pleased. Full details on my blog. Unaffiliated 1:26:38 1:26:38 1:27:52 71.45

noswad Legs felt tired after London 2 weeks earlier...but turned in a PB for this year !  Uphill out, mostly downhill back. Congleton Harriers 1:27:52 1:31:51 1:40:00 1:31:51 73.97
DaveRedford First and so far only half... pace calculators indicated that 1:30 should be achievable based on my 10K PB... worked out I needed 6:51/mile to achieve this.
First mile 6:30 - this always happens - slowed a bit - found out how difficult it was to look at mile marker 'x' and do 7x (minutes) - 9x (seconds) in my head before I passed it! Realised by mile 11 or so that I was probably going to be OK... Hallamshire Harriers Sheffield AC 1:28:44 1:28:44 1:30:00 1:28:44 65.70
DeeGee You know I said it would definitely not be a PB. Well conditions were so perfect for me that it seemed churlish not to at least have a crack.

That was a wonderfully organised race with just the right amount of challenge and variety to keep me going. Thanks to the Fetchies on the course for cheering me on as well. 100 Marathon Club, Cleethorpes AC 1:28:55 1:57:17 2:10:00 2:03:06 47.11

PJL My third half-marathon, and first serious attempt at sub-90 mins.  Pre-race nerves (or something) resulted in a rubbish night's sleep.  Warming up before the race I felt awful, so realistically 90 mins was never going to happen - that'll have to wait another 3 weeks.  Still, I had a PB to beat, which I did by a full minute, maintaining a fairly steady 7-min pace all the way to about mile 11 (despite forgetting to turn the Garmin autolap feature on), then gritted my teeth for the last 2.1.  Fairly satisfied with the result.

Cavey Gutted. Wanted a 1:42, or 1:47 at the very worst. All going well until 9 miles and then the wheels came off. To draw on the positives I was 12mins faster than last year, and I still went sub 1:50 after 7 weeks without a training run. Good to meet RooA and Santy, some welcome support at 5/7 miles. The negatives, my left foot is very sore again and I fear the worst. Will have to see how I feel tomorrow. Handsworth Roadhogs RC 1:37:46 1:37:46 2:00:00 1:49:05 53.15
Sombrero Did this last year - really enjoyed it.  Should do around 1:45, may have a crack at PB if I feel good......CALL THE COPS..........PB BY OVER 2 MINS. KICKED SOME ASS.  LOVED IT. Clowne RRC 1:37:57 1:37:57 1:45:00 1:40:45 57.55

DIGGER BYROM Final time could be quicker, ensure of chip time yet, but definately a PB! What a great race, wonderful to start and finish in the Don Valley Stadium and the behind the scenes facilities were the best i've seen at a race yet. The course was just right, a mixture of hills and flat and just when it got challenging, up to the half way loop, the crowds came out in force, cheering everyone on. Will definately do this race again. Pudsey Pacers RC 1:38:37 1:40:15 1:41:00 1:40:15 60.59

pirate steve Aimed to do negative splits, and did, given the flat downhill nature of the second half it really paid off and even managed a sprint finish. Unaffiliated 1:38:45 1:38:45 1:45:00 1:38:45 58.71
