jmc Cool race. Undulating (i.e quite hilly) and breezt (i.e a headwind). Kept it going well all the way round, eased off in the last few miles once I knew a sub 2:10 was going to happen. Just hope I can recover in time for FLM Stockport Harriers & AC 2:05:30 2:07:11 2:15 2:07:11 72.07

Greenman I felt tired on the drive down and not much better during the race yet came away with my best time in four attempts so I'm not complaining. Grantham Running club 2:10:02 2:11:39 2:13:11 71.13

KinkyS Last long training run before FLM. LSR pace, do not bet! *update* as usual a lovely race at Oakley. Easy peasy comfortable pace on an undulating course, a nice confidence boost and felt great all the way. When did 20 miles become not very far LOL!

Lieutenant Lucerne Plan to gradually pick up the pace in the first 5 miles, followed by 15 miles at marathon pace. UPDATE probably started a bit too far back, so the first 3 miles were a lot slower than planned. Consequently I decided to pick up the pace earlier, with 17 miles averaging out at MP. A good course with some testing undulations, plus the added challenge of the wind tunnel at 12 and 19 miles. Unaffiliated 2:27:34 2:30:46 2:30:00 2:30:46 64.94

TROSaracen Never raced a 20. Only a week after Ackworth, so as long as I take Ackworth easy I will try this at MP. UPDATE: Fabulous - well, well happy with that. Thought it was a tough race, some climbs and some areas of stong wind, especially on a stretch which we passed twice where the wind was particularly strong against at the same time as an uphill climb. Target was to get under 2:40 so I built up a cushion then held 8 minute miles to the end. My Garmin was telling me I'd gone over 20.2 miles so I was a bit antsy having to run that last 400m with it telling me I'd already done my 20 miles! Parking was, er, unique. Usually get there 1hr - 1:15 before the start but some delays meant I arrived at 9:25 - only to be told by the marshall 'just abandon it anywhere mate, all the car parks are full'. KInd of found a verge then realised I was about half a mile from the start. Got changed, got out of the car, through '**** me it's cold' got back in and switched to my long sleeved top. Was in a real rush by then and found out after the race I'd put the thing on back to front! Paced the race nicely, built up about 1:30 ahead of schdedule by about 6 miles then held 8 minute miles through to the end. Was flagging a bit by the end but did not drop pace and even found a quicker spell when the end was near. Spilts 7:29, 7:41, 8:04, 7:28, 7:51, 7:49, 8:02, 8:03, 7:46, 7:35, 8:00, 7:59, 7:55, 8:07, 7:56, 8:01, 7:43, 7:55, 7:51, 7:40 then a last 0.2 mile at 6:57 pace! Marshalling was good, momento unusual (blue sweatshit), guess overall organisation spoilt a bit by parking debacle. Unaffiliated 2:38:18 2:38:18 2:40:00 2:38:18 59.39

Gaubfar who knows, will be my longest race to date, so just going to try and do it at 9 min mile, therefore aiming for 3 hrs UPDATE: Managed to do under the time I wanted, but was very hard work, and had nothing left at the end Yaxley Runners and Joggers 2:43:16 2:54:35 2:59:59 2:54:35 52.22
