In short: Much more support and water availability than previous years and improved width of roads for running on!!

In short: Great flat race to finally break the 2hr barrier!
In full: On my 18th half marathon, I finally broke through the 2hr barrier! I've been training really hard this year so far and it was fantastic to see it actually pay off! I must just say a massive thank you to a lovely gentleman called George, who helped pace me through most of the first lap and then picked me up on the last mile. He really pushed me and kept my pace at where it needed to be, so thanks lots!

In short: Good fast route
In full: It's the first time I've done this race, so I was a bit apprehensive knowing it's a fast one. Being overtaken by cars on the way back was a bit scary - I thought the race was marshalled and car free for 70 minutes - I got in at 55! Will do it again though - a good test to check for improvement over the year!
