Cracking race - bit like Coniston without the hills

Ran some of my best HMs here - and haven't ruled out a return!

Oy !

Don't publicise the fact, I haven't sent my form off yet.

Although I fancy the Anglesey Marathon the week after so I'm not too sure I will be able to do both.

Great place for a run though.

ashley, it's a genuine PB course, virtually traffic free. you've gotta have a great chance

I had a shocker in 2007 - over 3 hrs.

My worst ever race.

Aiming for around 2:00 - 2:10 this time.

Under 1:40 in only your second half ???

I'm guessng you have some sort of affliction ?

Possibly Youth or Latent Talent.

Possibly both.

I wish I could get under 2hrs

Clashes with my honeymoon. I have already negotiated an early return so I can run the GNR. I'm told a successful marriage is built on compromise (must have been where I went wrong the 1st time)! Don't think I can push it any further!!

Ashley- you may regret your target time for lake vyrnwy, but i've done the same. I ran the GNR in 2007 with a time of 1:31 on a course which is downhill. So setting a target time of 1:25 in my diary for lake vyrnwy could be suicide.

your kind of right, im 2o and all my school life ive been a track and field athlete. since then ive not done anything but since the new year ive turned a leaf running mostly every day. 5 weeks on i ran my first half. and set my goals on under 1:20 by the end of the year. im very competitive and take everything i do serious. i know its a huge goal in my first year of running distance but i truely think its a possible goal.

Cap66 - i know its a big goal but eith the plan of running i have coming up i think i may have that goal before then. but who knows. im still learning the in's and outs of distance running, like what to eat . . what to drink (and during event) but im a quick learner =D

Ashley- I have learnt what to eat and drink and that is whatever i like. Yes this may lead to slower times, but i enjoy my food more. It is not until 2 days before an event that i think about what i'm eating.

but like you said there it may lead to a slower time, im like to take it serious, not because im obsesive or anything but because i enjoy being the best at what i do.

what time are you looking at cap66 ?
