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

Ehlne This was a tough race. I hadn't trained properly, and had struggled to motivate myself to run for months prior to this. I really wanted to do this half marathon though, since I'd entered a few years previously and sprained my feet in training the week before (from trying to run in ordinary trainers!), so I couldn't do the race. Then last year the race was full when I came to register, so this year I was determined to do it. The last 3-4 miles were a real struggle. I vow never to run a race again without adequate training. It's very unpleasant and unsatisfactory!

Homer My first half and what a day. Great course, great support and a nice goodie bag. Everything just seemed to work. Big blister, sore legs and very very tired but on top of my little world!

Is@@c Gun time or watch time - thats the real question - PB'd whichever one you look at but need to drop below that 90 minute smark so lets go off the watch time.

Luiz I'd really like to manage under 2:15 for this one, but this would mean knocking around 10 mins off my PB, so may be a tad optimistic.**update** Really dissapointed with the time - was on for a 2:10 finish, then my calf went *pop* at 11 miles. Limped home in 2:18

nandez First big race after giving birth to Alexandra last September. Did fairly well. Was motivated to run a bit faster at the end when I noticed solicitor/shoes just behind me. I was not going to let her beat me, whether I just had a baby or not :o)

pugheaven 1 Mile = 5:47 2 Mile = 5:52 (11:39) 3 Mile = 5:49 (17:29) 4 Mile = 5:47 (23:16) 5 Mile = 5:46 (29:03) 6 Mile = 6:01 (35:05) Slightly Up Hill 7 Mile = 5:52 (40:46) 8 Mile = 6:15 (46:58) Uphill Section 9 Mile = 6:12 (53:13) 10 Mile = 6:01 (59:25) Slight Invlince through town... 11 Mile = 6:13 (01:05:26) Head Wind and Inclined 12 Mile = 6:13 (01:11:39) Head Wind and Inclined 13 Mile = 6:13 (01:17:53) Head Wind and Inclined 0.1 Mile = 37.64 (01:18:30) Finish Time [b]1:18:30[/b] (5:59 m/m) As for me at Wilmslow... well, decent conditions, apart from the wind picked up from 10 mile to the finish (and it wasn't just me, everyone lost time)... However, went out steady, holding back, holding back... got to [b]2 mile[/b] and thought right, I'm in a rhythm here, and feels decent... couldn't feel twinge in butt cheek that I've had all week... so pushed onwards... Could see a women called Gill I think her name is, who's a solid solid runner... and made an effort over the next 2 mile to just close onto her and stick with her for as long as possible... caught the pack at [b]4 mile[/b]... tucked in behind her wonderful arse... and settled down... went through [b]5 mile[/b] quicker by 40 seconds than I wanted to, but even then, felt very very easy... and confidence was starting to rise... and wanted to blast past them and push on, but [b]held back[/b] which as you all know, isn't the usual Puglet! So, basically the next 2-3 mile upto [b]8 mile[/b] was uneventful... and churning out nice miles... as I went past [b]8[/b] though, I noticed my breathing was a little heavier... and knew this was when the work had to start to maintain any kind of pace. Also, the second half of this course (which I HATE by the way) is tough... with a couple of nasty hills... Went through 10 mile in bang on 59:25 which was smack on 5:57 pace which is what I wanted... however, the wind started picking up on the run in... which was a bugger... So dug in, tried to catch a couple of runners, went past them... but deep down knew my 1:17:50 attempt was slipping away... however, instead of giving up and throwing me dummy out the pram... carried on... and just worked at a slower pace, making sure I lost the least amount of time possible... At this point, 11 mile, could see Helen Lawrence suffering (she did Trimpell with me in 2:03) and knew I might get her over the last 2 mile... kept an eye on GILL's arse though to bring me through... The last mile was torture, as it's just one long curving road... that you can't see the end.... times flashing by, and you can't see the end, hard to keep your head together... but did it... and trotted over the line... (no sprint though, unusal for me!!!)... Not sure of positions as it's a good quality field... but I'm happy with that run and the pacing... on a flatter course? Who knows... however I can only do what I did... over all... a 9/10 race... and the best I've raced since New Year and know has banished a few doubts and I can move onwards and upwards from here.

RobH Quite a tough day at the office. Was shooting for 1:25 and was on that pace for the first 5 miles but had to ease off. Miles 6-8 were tough but started to feel OK again and tried to up it at the end, only to get hit by the headwind on the last 2-3 miles. Anyway, PB by 2 minutes so it's not too bad I suppose!

RunningBob Managed to bob a pb. There was a fair wind behind on the way out and in the face coming back leading to some interesting splits: 2 miles: 10:45 5 miles: 27:05 10 miles: 55:59

Wheabs My last race as a senior and on home turf as well! All was going well until the last 2 miles - not really sure what happened but I don't think I should have taken on water after mile 10.
