hatterfan A good well organised event.  The sun stayed in and made it near perfect condiitons to run in.   Not too disappointed with my time, but still room for improvement! 100 Marathon Club 1:31:29 1:49:35 1:56:07 1:52:08 52.17

icemaiden Official chip time - course PB by about 4 mins - nice :-) Unaffiliated 2:02:55 2:10:56 2:15:00 2:11:34 52.12
Jo-bee Chip time 2.03.34.  Garmin time 2.02.42.  Garmin distance 13.16.  Found this tougher than expected, was NOT flat and lots of twists and turns with many narrow places to run in.  Some of it very scenic some of it not.  Disappointed in myself. Unaffiliated 1:48:15 1:56:09 1:55:14 2:03:34 53.91

Lieutenant Lucerne Pleased with a PB; particularly as my last three miles were the fastest three. Although it's generally a flat course, it has a lot of twists and turns and one or two undulations. The narrow start requires patience, but a slow start in a long race is not necessarily a bad thing. Unaffiliated 1:25:52 1:27:11 1:27:58 72.60

Paul W Not rying to do a fast time. Just wanted to try out my marathon pace to see how much energy I had left after 13 miles. Answer - not much! Back to drawing board? Unaffiliated 1:41:09 1:42:39 1:52:00 1:54:19 59.97
portly Prior to the entry I thought this could be a 1.50, however the usual amount of training occured......

Good start then pulled back as a bit over pace. Knee played up about half way and got worse, the last few miles were slow with no power in my left leg. Unaffiliated 1:59:35 1:59:35 1:50:00 1:59:35 49.37

Tim of Fife NSPCC MILTON KEYNES HALF MARATHON  -   1:51.49 (Chip)  -  511TH OF 1,223 FINISHERS   -   I was still considering dropping out as late as a minute before the start gun sounded.   But went ahead in the end.     I tried to keep my heart rate very low and my pace very 'relaxed'.     All went OK until around the 10 mile point,  where I started to feel somewhat drained and my legs started complaining.  So,  slotted in the odd irregular walk break to keep from getting overtired.    My time wasn't  impressive,  to say the least !  But,  on the positive side,   I 'tabbed' around and earned my medal without killing myself.    I guess that there are perhaps two learning points.   The first is not to do a 'flat out' 5kms race just four days before a half marathon.   The second is that there is a limit to how many months you can get away with no long training runs and still run this kind of distance.
