No.8 â„¢ 7th overall, won my age category, 57 second PB. Would've been more but lost 6th place at the 10 mile mark and struggled on my own in the headwind for the last 5k. Unaffiliated 1:15:00 1:15:00 1:15:00 79.72

melissav Felt good today, last few miles tough but had raced much quicker than 6 52 min miles to allow for extra mileage. Had sports massage on Fri and day of rest Sat think this all helped. Spa Striders RC 1:28:56 1:29:12 1:31:00 1:29:12 73.23
Whoever Excellent event, very well organised !   Cooooold at the start, but soon warmed up when the race started (10 min delay). 

Set off too fast, but deliberately pushed it to see what happened :-) - splits were 10km at 40m 19s (PB time at 10km) then 10miles at 1hr 05m 38s (PB at 10 miles) but time fell apart in last 4km - started running 4m 23s kms at 18km, plus ran 300m further than HM distance - must have been due to the twists and turns, so that accounted for a bit of time - normally takes me ~30s beyond 13 miles, today took over 2mins.

Overall an excellent day out, good weather for the event, highly recommended to anyone. Northern Veterans AC 1:26:43 1:26:43 1:29:43 72.43

MB416 I knew I could do 8 min miles over a shorter distance and I saw a pace setter at the start with a 8min board so thought I would try to keep him in my sites and if I couldn’t hold on towards the end then so be it. At 10 miles I started to feel it and at 11 miles everything hurt, but I just kept telling myself its only 15mins, it’s only 14mins 30, it’s only … time was definitely going slowly at this point and I was looking at my watch more and more frequently. But I managed to hold on and finished in 1:44:36 which I was really chuffed with, so I treated myself to a big mcdonalds on the way home!

RBanksy Been struggling with Left knee, hampered training. Get round this one & it will be a triumph of injury management, rather than a another slice off my PB.

Just missed my target!! Nevermind the knee didn't overly play up & was probably the best it's felt for a while. Run Alcester 1:38:02 1:47:41 1:50:20 54.19

Ski Looking at following the 8 mile marker for as long as possible!!! We'll see..........
So what happened... followed the 1:45 for as long as I could but the pace at the end was hard to keep.  Last two miles were a killer but i'm chuffed to have got under 1:50! Avon Valley Runners 1:49:19 1:49:36 1:55:00 1:49:36 53.59
