In short: the most challenging 1/2 I have ever done
In full: Appropriately named, was at the back of the pack but everyone was very friendly, marshalls were excellent and organisation was brilliant, will more than likely do this one next year

In short: Its called Heaven and Hell for a reason
In full: Hard run with moderate hills and then a big one that lasts for 2 miles!! Def not one to get a PB one but a great training run!

In short: Do it for the challenge alone. The 2nd climb was Hell
In full: Not for the faint hearted, this Half Marathon was Hell, don't expect a PB. The climbs are murder. Good warm up for a marathon to see how your training has progressed. I was 12 minutes outside my best half marathon time. Will be there again this year. No pain no gain a great feeling when finished.
