If the Shakespear 10k is on the long Marston raceway again then it is the flattest race you will do. I ran the one in March this year and there is a big ZERO on hills, not even the slightest lump. However,,,,,,,it is windy, very very windy and to be honest I would prefer the hills. I ran this slower than the Dudley Kingswinford 10K which is hilly. If it is a perfectly calm day then it is a definate PB course.

it looks hideous though chris
it would be like track running
i need more than that to enjoy a race

even the conductive education - which i admit to doing because it is nice and flat - has something nice to look at as you run
that place looked empty and souless

Lurker,

I pretty much agree with everything you say. It was ok as a one off for me, but that is it and it is not really on my schedule as a return trip.

Oh yeah, I thought everyone had lost interest in that after Ms Radcliffe pulled out with a sore throat...?

Wot? No beer?

The Courgette & Chocolate cake was very nice, by the way. Didn't taste of courgette or chocolate, but very nice all the same!

I think our clu pub run is much better, it is from pub to pub, 5 pubs I think last year, and you gotta have a drink in each one. Not too bad to start with but once all that fluid starts sloshing around inside you.........
