Time: 4:50The best moment for me was seeing my husband at mile 17 brandishing a banana towards me! ... Closely followed (of course) by reaching the mile 18 cheering point and being presented with a bag of jelly babies.The worst moments were miles 21 where I really started to run...
Mile 18 supporterDecided to go to mile 18 and watch the race this year and I'm glad I did. Spectating, thanks to Meerkat, was brilliant. Have never seen the race from that perspective and although I was itching to get out there and run I really enjoyed myself and met loads of f...

Time not givenThe rain couldn't dampen my spirits! I loved running in fancy dress, the support from the crowd was amazing. There were shouts for Red Indians and Pocahontas all the way round and I had a fabulous day. Time was not an issue, we were pulled over to pose for photos, g...
Time not givenWhat a day...45 mins off my 2003 time and although I saw the support gang at mile 18 I was too late to dive across the pack for a much needed hug... perhaps next year! I think my RW 11 min pacer went on turbo charge about then, too, and we all lost him!!! Nothing c...
Time: 3:45Followed the RW 3:45 training plan & did 3:45:34. Best moment was passing club supporters at just before 25M & realising I still felt good & had plenty of puff when I'd anticipated needing an ambulance at that stage before the race. Seeing my sister & daughter in the cr...
Time: 3:19What a fantastic day! Despite being on the first coach to be refused access to the start, having to walk the last 10 minutes to the start, being extremely cold and wet pre-race, and all of us losing the pacers, we had a brilliant day. PBs all round. I set myself 3-15...
Time: 3:29Despite the best intentions and a plan for even running towards my 3:30 target, I ran 10 miles at a pace I couldn't sustain then ground out the remaining miles with gritted teeth in the rain trying not to look at my watch or the mile clocks and get downcast about my det...
Time: 3:48Caught and tagged on with Sean and his colleague (3.45 pacers) from about 2 miles and stuck with them until 22/23 miles. Couldn't quite hold the pace over the last 3, but finished in 3.48 which is my best mara for 4 years. My splits were 1.54.15 and 1.54.02. Big thanks ...
Time: 4:25An amazing (and painful at times!) experience. Started to hurt badly at 24 miles... thought I was going to burst into tears at 25 miles with the emotion of it all.. coming up to the finish the crowd were superb. They could see I was just about done in and all these peop...
