In short: The fact it is slightly undulating make it a great training run for the marathon
In full: Towards the start/finish line we had to run over paving slabs and there were some raised slabs caused by tree roots. I'm suffering a badly bruised, swollen knee and hand today from falling over the raised slabs; I saw someone else fall after me too!

In short: Well marshalled, brilliant London Marathon prep
In full: I thought 4 x 5 mile laps would be pretty dull, in fact the opposite. After the first lap I knew what to expect and surprisingly each mile seemed to be shorter the more laps I did! Excellent marshalling and the traffic was nowhere near as bad as I'd imagined from previous comments. I would definitely do this (and recommend it) again. Plus I got to see and hear the enthusiastic cheering from 'the lady at the bottom of the hill at mile 4!!'

In full: Thank you marshalls

In short: Well organised,very well marshalled, good weather on the day helped.
In full: 4 laps of Ruislip sounded dull but was actually OK. There is a bit of countryside to break up the suburbia and it's great on the last lap to know you won't have to re-pass any particular place.
