In short: Of the 3 half marathons I've run so far this was definitely the best
In full: The route is nice - not too hilly as some have been saying (although I train in Sheffield so everywhere else is fat in comparison!) and anyway the hills are all over by about mile 7 or 8. I agree with some others - the mile markers are very small - I missed 12, but I'm from Leeds so I knew roughly where I was. Overall I'd say it's good for a PB - I got mine at 2:04 and I experienced no bottlenecks although I did start towards the back of the field and worked my way up. I would recommend running on home soil for anyone - I had 5 sets of supporters dotted around the route and it lifted my spirits so much!
Oh and a word of warning - the Asda sports drinks that the "For all" events team use in all their races are awful - so sugary and strong. I'd steer clear if you're not used to them!
