Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

i-plodder Plan of taking a recent 5K as predicting pace, plus gauging pace from HMHR segments during runs at 173 meant that I ran a controlled race. I set off aiming to average 7:07/173 and did so until around two miles to go. There was enough in the tank to do the last 2 miles at near 5K pace. Running a hard 5K three weeks before really helped the mental effort at the end. 
Following plan of just under a pint of water on waking, a bowl of cereal plus 500ml two hours before, 125ml just before seemed to work. 
Had used Hal Higdon's advanced half marathon training plan for guidance. Good on the mix of intervals. Good idea to incorporate tempo running and a hard/pace/hr final 1/3 (as opposed to HH's final 1/4) on long runs. 
Nike compression top was fine from heat pov. Probably prevented chaffing too (when wet)
No problem with energy gel at half way

Laurence Coughing and sore throat started day before, probably went off a bit fast considering that. :-( Course wasn't nearly as flat as they'd promised, but nothing like Pembs though. Didn't like the dual carriageway, preferred the route through the parks last year.

tuck up Not predicting anything after my blowout at Burnham, but hope it is cooler and I can achieve what I think I can.
After a dreadful start where I got stuck behind loads of people aiming for 2.15, I eventually found space at 3 miles and was pretty pleased with my time.
