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
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Notes & Comments

0. Race start... I pushed myself way back in the field - starting at the sub-2 sign - determined to ease my right leg slowly into action.
1. 9.09 - Slow first mile with some very crowded bits. Right leg a bit iffy so happy to keep it slow...
2. 8.45 - The roads are getting wider and the crowds thinning - legs also getting warmer...
3. 7.50 - The watch tells me I'm running much faster than I thought I was. Start deciding that actually I don't want to get beaten by MissH today.

4. 7.40 - Legs feel OK now - so relax and run on...
5. 7.31 - Spot MissH 100m up ahead. Slowly reel her in.
6. 7.26 - Spend 2-3 minutes talking about the weather, then push on to see who else I can upset. [Also suspect this mile marker may have been out?]
7. 7.42 - Feels very nice to get to half way... Have a quick chat with another forumite (Nick)
8. 7.43 - For the first time my splits tell me I'm now below 8 min mile average. Decide to make sure they stay that way...
9. 7.37 - Find myself running relaxed and actually quite enjoying myself. Keep myself entertained by thanking every very wet marshall I pass.
10. 7.39 - Decide to wait one more mile before pushing for home.
11. 7.34 - Start to push the pace up - so this split time is a tad disappointing.
12. 7.13 - Overtaking heaps of peeps, but still really feeling quite relaxed.
13. 7.07 - Feeling slightly less relaxed...
13.1 0.43 - Me? Sprinting at the end of a half. Not very likely...
Please wait... saving your change.
