In short: I couldn't believe how fast it was.
In full: This was my first time at Reading. I had been led to believe that there were some serious hills - but there was nothing too taxing and, overall, I thought it was a very quick course. I run 1.25 dead - which was a PB by an improbable 7 minutes. The buses from the train station were a problem, so I just walked to the start - not a problem. The scenery was generally OK - and vastly improved for the short period of time that I was running by Nell McAndrew. The support was actually very good and a big thanks to the little boy handing out the orange segments around the 8 mile mark. The finish in the stadium was great - although I can imagine it might have got a bit hectic later on. As for some of the other moaners that have rated this race - some people are never happy. Relatively speaking, this is a very good race.

In short: Fantastic race with great views, good marshalling, great support and a nice t-shirt.
In full: I found this race very friendly - both in terms of marshalls and fellow runners. The scenery is also great, especially near the beginning around Farley Mount, and there are a few challenging hills for those that like that sort of thing. Probably not a PB course (although I did knock 15 minutes off my best marathon time), but great fun and worth doing none-the-less.
