2010 Run Greenwich Park 10K
 | | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: I'd probably only do again because its on my doorstep....
In full: A confusing course, a poor marshall directing multiple people, in different directions at one time was quite amusing. Lots of snaking, tough hills, then its Greenwich park so thats just reality. Friendly enough. Biggest thing though, No medal????

In short: If only it started earlier.
In full: I love smaller races, and would love to do this again 10 degrees cooler.
Not a race I enjoyed at all, but purely because of scorching sun, organisation was great. Well done.
Huge thank you for two sets of hose pipe giving relief. Really would have benefited from third water station given the heat..

2010 Virgin London Marathon

In short: Makes you very proud of our capital City.
In full: An unbelievable day, atmosphere, crowds, scenery etc etc.
So yes, it was difficult to hold the pace given the numbers, but who cares, what a day.
Arguably points of the course which were tight could be reviewed to avoid bottle necking.
A massive well done to the VLM Co. (hope you sue the arse of despatches)

In full: Will absolutely be running this again next year, sitting home absolutely thrilled with my new PB today.

The guys at Brighton Half could learn so much from this...

In short: Despite all the valid grumbles, I'd still do a again!
In full: First few miles particularly tough, far too many peoples, through roads far too small, annoying amounts of dodging.
Weather was just dreadful, I mean beyond dreadful. It certainly re-defined coldness for me!
All that said, I was absolutely thrilled to achieved a new PB; my theory is this, it was so cold I dare not slow down or stop moving!
My hugest thanks & congratulations to all the poor marchals en route, you were true troopers.
No goodie bag etc etc, all as others have said, strangely I know I'll be back next year, must like pain!

In short: a very funny, muddy experience.....
In full: Bloody tough, knee deep in cold water, followed by two miles of ankle deep sludge. Created some great Camaraderie, picking each other up from sludgey heaps...
Nicely marashalled, accesible for seeral good spectator viewings from family.
