In short: Perfect event for pre marathon 20 miler
In full: My longest run ever, in preparation for my first ever marathon. 20 miles did not seem to bad, as this event had everything needed to make it as painless as possible. Well signposted for arriving by car, loads of parking just a short walk from toilets and start. I had collected my number already from the shop in Ashtead, so all I had to do was join the relatively short loo queue, then get to the start. As no-one had earphones, there were plenty of folk keen to chat to pass the miles. All the marshalls were friendly, even they looked freezing cold. Lots of water stations with gels and jelly babies. I wondered if it would be tough to run past my car at the start of the second lap but it wasnt a problem, and at least on the second lap I knew where the hills were. Great medal, and nice handshake at the end.
Roll on London - I am so much better prepared now!
