postieboy Apr 2010 3:08pm, 30 Apr 2010 171 posts	0 postieboy Dymock Half on 30th May will be my first serious attempt at sub 1:30. I may have run 1:30:00 in the Forest Of Dean Half a month ago but I wasn't even thinking of a time close to that then. The race panned out really well and it was only mid-race I knew sub 1:30 was on but being a trails course, the quality of the surface deteriated badly over the last 2 miles meaning I just missed out.

Windsor Wool Apr 2010 3:34pm, 30 Apr 2010 251 posts	0 Windsor Wool Miser - if you can run 8 miles in training at HMP then I agree, you will man it through come race day. my view on the tempos: no more than 7 miles. As for the LSR: I don't think that this is a necessity every week as part of HM training. Nice to get it up to 14 / 15 miles though but run SLOWLY.....
Miser May 2010 9:52am, 4 May 2010 5 posts	0 Miser Woo! 1:28:36 in a definitely 'undulating' Exeter. Struggled through the last 5k as expected and was cheerily told I looked in a world of pain when spotted around 11 miles. Pleased right now - but looking at my splits I was definitely fading towards the end. More miles are the only way methinks..

Windsor Wool May 2010 1:33pm, 4 May 2010 254 posts	0 Windsor Wool Nice one Miser. Achieved with plenty to spare, enjoy that one won't you. Next pop for me is: 22 August - Burnham Beeches if you would please Bree. It's not a PB course and it's bound to be 30C so it will be a tough one!!
