abdou Posh, organic, superficially pleasant, possibly a front for some sinister cult: if David Cameron was a race, he'd be the Royal Parks Half Marathon. Hillsborough & Rivelin RC 1:22:44 1:27:14 1:50:50 52.31

hopisen really pleased - PB for HM, and that was with a littl walk at 10m- lovely race, well organised and beautiful run. A pleasure to run this race Unaffiliated 1:48:42 2:09:38 2:09:38 44.97

Little Giant I felt pretty good through the first 6 miles. Then I was running low on energy so slowed down from 7-10miles but there was Powerade Station so I felt better after that. I wrote my name on Get Kids Going! t-shirt so it was nice to have lots of people calling out my name! Unaffiliated 1:50:06 1:50:06 1:50:06 58.58

Mazza aka Fitso Unofficial time 1.48 - included an earrly diversion to the kids loos in Green Park which was at least a couple of minutes. I think the gun time as I went through the finish was aboput 1.51 and it took me about 2 minutes to get over the start line. Knees and hips felt a bot dodgy by the end and achilles was sore but not unhappy with the result as I've not run more than about 5 miles since my previous Unaffiliated 1:38:35 1:42:58 1:48:28 62.70

Monster Feet Running this with my mum, hoping will be very relaxed as week before Abingdon marathon. After lots of readjusting of goals, had finally settled on the idea that I would try for a PB which was set at Watford in February. Did lots of training after the tri in August and was well set after a sub 45 10k, but training with Mr MF for his first half as well as nearly every weekend involving being away from home played havoc. In the end just 2 mins outside of PB, which considering starting at the back of the field, the rubbishness of recent training and the narrowness of the course was pretty good I thought. I've made my peace. Lovely course, and good food fair at the end where I ate all the calories burnt and more (in advance for the next 3 marathons, I think). Unaffiliated 1:44:57 1:51:35 1:53:38 56.74

philippa28 Training had lots of hiccups, so just pleased I got round and ran the whole way. Would have made the 2hrs 20 probably without a 10 min queue for the toilet en route! Unaffiliated 2:08:54 2:28:55 2:20:00 2:28:55 43.30
RogerB Started way back and had too much traffic to pass. Just about equalled my PB but spent the whole race dodging and weaving in and out to get past the 1000 or so that I overtook. My Forerunner said I ran an extra 0.2 miles which I assume was my zig-zagging down the course. Pleased to finish with a 7 min mile and much faster recovery than other races. Overall, great course, lovely weather, good organisation and will be there next year. Unaffiliated 1:35:07 1:38:56 1:37:00 1:38:57 60.02

Treacle Done as a pre-mara training run, deliberately at 10.40 min miling. Felt good - in fact I think I may be more comfortable if I run a bit faster at Abingdon, as the slower miles as D started to tire were hard on the legs Unaffiliated 1:57:52 2:08:08 2:30:00 2:24:45 45.31
