Nice course, great support from the marshalls and pretty decent weather considering.  Not happy about the 134ft elevation on the last 2 miles or so though... nearly did for me! 

Happy with a 1:28.56 pb and thanks to Nick from Rochdale Harriers for dragging me over the last half mile.

Will definitely do again next year.

You're right about the unintentional fast 2 miles.. he only looked at his watch when he started to feel sick! 

In pursuit of the goal of my sub-1:30 HM next month, my plan will be to start off on 6:54-56 miles then drift it down from there.  Can't wait...

Thanks for the replies.  You've rather confirmed my suspicions that a even pace or gentle negative split is the way for me.  It's something I'm comfortable with anyway as most of my training sets are done this way. 

I just thought I'd better check I wasn't missing out by getting in a couple of quick miles in early doors!
