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,

Boingy Did 1.37 half at RNR on a hilly route, on my own, in the dark, and with stomach cramps, so should knock chunks off that. Not enough training to crack 1hr 30min I think, but still a 50% chance of a PB :-). ***** Sorry folks, it was a bit of a nightmare to be honest. Dehydrated from the start & Garmin died after 1 mile. Was on 7min/mile-ish pace until it all went wrong at about 10miles.

ButterflyLou (MrsMothy) My Goal race for this year - hoping on 2 hours and home territory so could manage it! POST RACE - sorry folks didn't manage it I'm afraid. 2 hours 8mins something I think - will confirm once results out. Pleased I got round after hardly being able to walk yesterday with plantar faci wotsit (I think?!). Helped some GER first timers on way round which was good. Patience is a virtue and all that. I'll get sub-2 hours one day!

Dino69 well it was very hot,a real slog for the 1st five miles and after running in the beautiful surroundings of nottingham i found running through housing estates pretty dull and really struggled to find something to look at,until a bloke dressed as a nurse ran past me with his skirt tucked in his thong and bare cheeks were infront of me .things then started to look up for me ,god bless him.call me a perv it helped.The crowds were fantastic a real support and really helped us along other runners i chatted to whilst running were really friendly and everyone i spoke to seemed to be having at tough time in the heat not helped by the water stations having no water left when we got there at 3 miles and 6 miles ,i will finish by saying glad i did it really pleased with my time especially as i was full of cold but wont be rushing to do the great eastern again.

FML I am with Girlie on this one, Autumn Target, my 2008 target is 2:05, but going for sub 2 after almost getting goal after Blackpool HM in April, this should be HM number 6! Due to calf injury picked up at RHHM, prediction removed just hoping that I am able to run and get round. Struggled due to lack of training and the heat, just got slower and slower

FurryH 2 weeks off for recurring injury meant that I was not at my best. Started off fantastic but by mile 6 I was flagging had to run/walk from mile 7 to 11. Thanks to the generosity of the spectators managed to pick up some bananas and jelly babies and by mile 12 i had recovered meaning manage to run last 2 miles to end. Fantastic race with great organisation and great support from spectators. On the plus side only got minor twinges from injury. With a month off I think it should be healed!

Gem* This was a great race - did not go into it confident at all, so was surprised when I felt so good. Started to get into around 8min30 miles, must have slowed around half way, but didn't feel like I did. Then around 9 miles, I got my second wind and decided to go for a more decent time. Felt pretty tired at the 12 mile marker, but decided it didn't matter, so picked up my pace and started overtaking loads of people which was really motivating. I then enjoyed a sprint finish. A first half marathon that I am very proud of!

Girlie I am going all out for sub 2:10 this year. There is no reason I can't run round at 9:45-10:00 pace. ***UPDATE*** There was a very good reason I couldn't maintain 10:00/mi pace, it was very hot and I felt quite awful from 6-8 miles, before the wheels came off in mile 9:-( Sorry folks, but I will be back to get that sub 2:14 time Official time 2:17:07, which is fine considering the circumstances

Mothy A very enjoyable race with its usual ups and downs. I went off quite quickly for the race distance (low 8's). I found this quite comfortable all the way to about Gunthorpe - sort of 8.5 miles ish. Then I suddenly started to suffer slowing down to long 9s. I was completely exhausted at the Newark Ave end of Eastern Ave and had to walk. Thanks to Old Man for getting me going again. Great support from the spectators around the route and particular thanks to all the WJ Marshals for their encouragement. New flag looks good!

Ultra Kanga Kazzaaaaah!! Way faster than I thought I might be given my schedule but did wilt in the heat. Even in better conditions I wouldn't have PB'd today but if it hadn't have been so hot I'm pretty sure I could have kept my early pace up all the way round.
