I like the idea that a 20 mile lumpy run counts extra towards a flat marathon - however flat can be relentless, same pace and no cruising the downhills - so I'm not sure it works ????

I love Berkhamsted Half for the same reason - you give on the uphills, but oh do you receive on the downhills, and especially the last mile which I did at 7.32 m/m (which is fast for me!)
