I ran this last year and thought it was really well organised. I travelled from Berkshire and had no problems finding parking (free carpark pass with race pack) and thought the race village was nicely laid out. Route is flat as a pancake but there's not a great deal to see on the way round (lots of estates) but support was pretty good and I think it's a good PB course. I'd run it again if it wasn't so far away!

This year - 1:32 half to a 4:05 mara. Followed a training plan and stuck to it. All marathon paced training runs went well etc but seemed to be going down with a cold in the days leading up to Sunday (VLM), which then completely floored me on Monday. Have been living off lemsip since!

Hell, sometimes it just doesn't come together

Well this morning I have woken up and I have a completely blocked nose, aching sinuses and a cough. That would probably explain the breathing issues I was having yesterday then

So glad I have today off work!
Looks like the heat caught everyone by surprise! I was expecting rain.

Hey guys - your support during my slight breakdown at mile 17 was wonderful. I dont really know what went wrong, but i still managed to finish. No sure if I would have carried on if it wasn't for your kind words and hugs. Definitely think im a better supporter than runner! Will Hopefully be on the other side of the fence next year!

How did everyone else fair?
