FitterStu Ran well for first 7K and then started to struggle.  Still a PB, but may have been worse actual performance than Edinburgh, 3 weeks before.  It is possible that standing, jumping and drinking in pub watching Rangers win the league on the afternoon before may have caused some extra fatigue.

The course was excellent and was really well organised.  Good atmosphere and the weather got it just about right.

Race Jase Unofficial time. HeartRate through the roof. Averaged 199! that's not good, thought I was going to have a heart attack at mile five. Still, very pleased with the PB. I know I can go quicker too as I'd only done 43 miles since 26th April. Great event, lots of support and supert drummers. Garmin had it as 6.41 miles but then it always over eggs it, doesn't it!

Imogen Perfect conditions - not too hot or sunny, few drops of rain early on. I had a cold and wasn't feeling great, had to slow down at 7k, but really enjoyed the crowds, the music and the scenery. Great goody bag too!

Sting Ray Did the very first one last year. Very good course. A good way to get the feel of the FLM without running 26miles! .Well organised and good atmosphere so worth the money. It will be my annual event. Had he remains of a flu while running so could not get a BP

Steve Bienvenu Awesome race!!!  Due to injury I was struggling to even run 6 miles in the weeks uilding up to the race and I couldn't run any faster then 6:30 pace in training.

When I got to the start line I realised I was starting about 10metres behind Mo Farah, so that got my adrenaline running, My pla was to take it easy but when the race started I just got carried away with the crowd, my first 2 miles were 5:30 and 5:40 which I knew was way too fast but it felt comfortable.

I managed to stick to 6min miles after this and it was only with 1.5 miles left I really started to struggle because of the lack of training.

I managed to put in a strong sprint finish which got me across the line in 38:10 and I finished 73rd out of 12,500.

Doing it again this year, hopefully sub 37min and another top 100 finiah

oceanspirit I am really pleased with my time. I knew I wasn't going to do better than a PB. My goal was to get around without the my hamstring stopping me. And I achieved my goal! My hamstring was alright all the way round the course. The one and only time I actually felt any little niggle was doing a 90degree turn towards the horse guards after the 9k mark. 

The weather was much better this year which made the course much more enjoyable. I loved coming around to the corner to see St. Pauls Cathedral. Loved running up towards trafalgar square. Loved running down the Mall. Loved starting at Buckingham Palace.

Footpad It cannot possibly rain anymore than last year! Was my fave 10K of last year tho :-)

Another new shiny PB!! Oh and I went through 5 miles faster than 2 weeks ago so I can do that quicker too! Was a great run. Race very well organised. Route is magic especially through Ledenhall Market, past St Pauls, Mansion House.... totally PB-Tastic! Official time 3 secs quicker than Garmin!

Saw One Ronaldo, Ragged Sporran, DIYDiva, BCRB and Gymfreak. Was a good day to be running... no monsoon rain, sun stayed hidden behind light cloud... :-)

Ginger Chicken My Garmin says I did 10km in 39m30s. The only thing is that the finish line was still 200m away at that point. No excuses - still a good, fast time and if I lose a bit more weight I'll be flying. I have a month until my club 10km race.

Fitguy Caught the 6.34am train up, meeting Nick at Faversham. It was perfect conditions for this well organised race through London's landmarks, and we were in the Red A pen, so a bit nervous about getting in the way of the really fast runners! Cloudy but not cols & only light wind. Nick & I went off well &  he was only 20secs back at 5k. 
I kept up a fast pace throughout & felt the pain for the last 2 k, but beat the 42 minutes mark (as instructed by Flo) finishing in a new PB of 41'54 - and I was amazed to see I was 1st in the
