John Fraser 10 (Leicester, September 4)If you've got your eye on an autumn half-marathon, take on this undulating ten-miler to get your legs into gear. Chase over virtually traffic-free lanes in the Leicestershire countryside, with a few climbs
. To get a PB [12:23] and actually beat a couple of people put a smile on my face for quite a while.And you were racing in the lane next to Oscar Pistorius...I was more excited than nervous to be honest. It was just great to be see how fast he runs
the lanes - but it was a novel way to warm up our quads and hamstrings.Then we had to learn how to sprint. You've heard what my experience of school PE was like - I presumed it was just a case of just ‘run as fast as possible’. Not quite. Richard explained
