Overall a really well organised race and a great location. Events team very enthusiastic and helpful. Word of advice to the Events Team - and to anyone looking to do this next year - it is very hilly - the first hill is short but brutal!! - don't describe this as "flat". I struggled to get any rythm in my running and ended up way outside my best road time. Also, as mentioned above - it's a bit more than 100m on grass!. It's not a pb course by any stretch - add at least a couple of minutes on to your road time and use it as a hard training run. Running Eye - I also got 6.09 mile on my Garmin.
Wonder if Runners World will be promoting the film?...I watched the trailer just prior to running my first marathon a few weeks ago and must admit to finding it very inspirational....(more so than "run fat boy run"!!)
There is a trailer on the internet for an american movie called "spirit of the marathon" based on five people training and taking part in the Chicago Marathon...does anyone know if this film is to be released in the UK?
