2012 Shell Four Villages Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Fairly tough, but well worth it
In full: Very windy and undulating. It's a challenging race, but very satisfying. The climbs aren't too bad, as long as you've kept a bit in reserve and not run flat out. I managed a PB.
The marshall's were great - I'm not sure if I'd like to stand in the middle of a road in violent winds for 2 hours being a human cone.
The organisation is great, and I really appreciated the support from marshalls and local residents.
Can't wait for next year.

2011 Liverpool Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Great course and tremendous atmosphere
In full: Tough, but i'd guess 26.2 is never easy. Plenty of gels/drinks in 2nd half and loads of water throughout. Support great on both sides of the Mersey. Hearing the drumming whilst in the tunnel and the explosion of sound (drums and cheers) on the exit is amazing. Climb on the Liverpool side probably makes the 2nd half tougher than many other marathons, but it also means a downhill last 2 miles. Delay and poor PA at start didn't take the shine off the day. My 2nd marathon, and I think it's got me addicted. Can't wait for 14/10/12

2011 Morecambe Cross Bay Challenge 'CancerCare' - Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: The best half marathon. My third year on the run and I'm already looking forward to next year.
In full: Challenging, but very rewarding. Fast today with less wind than last couple of years, but the 3 min wade obviously slows things a bit. I adore this race. My only minor gripe was the chip timing introduced this year - I didn't realise it didn't take into account your start time, so lost 40 secs ambling to the start line. A huge thank you to all involved in the organisation of the race. Thanks for letting me run on the blue bits of the map.
