it will be my first time to in trainning i`ve done 1.38.50 but that was on a nice cool day and pancake flat.
you`ll do it hill1.
Last year was my first half at the age of 45, I ran with partner so time was very slow. Now on 1:46 for half so looking around 1:45 - 1:50. I promised myself not to repeat the same races but close to sheffield and it a nice half. Yes it was wet last year but at least we were cool. Think anyone would enjoy this. yes a few hills but nothing really demanding. Some good support around the course.
Hi,
I'm looking at doing this one, my mate says its not "flat" but you can still run a fast time on it, ran a pb last Sunday in Swinton on an undulating course (1:22:00) so I'll be looking at going faster than that, hoping for 1:21:13 or better.
I can't ever imagine the day I'll be running a 1.22 half, that's very impressive, like I've already said, I'll be pleased when I break 2hrs!! I've just invested in a Forerunner 305 so hopefully I can keep a more accurate account of pace etc and up the speed a bit.
I've also heard that although the run does have a few hills, it is a good course to run a PB and at least there's some nice scenery to take in on the way round!
I have entered for this event and recently got a PB of 1hr38 but I cannot see me achieving this at this event due to the hills.
So it it possible to get a pb at this event?
So if there's anyone else on here running this and planning on their first sub 2hrs, I would welcome the support along the way, it can get tough pushing yourself along (although the Garmin is proving a worthwhile investment) it's not the vocal abuse you sometimes need along the way!!!
We'll be seeking sub 2 hours -
but it will depend on how Abingdon marathon goes the week before
OH and NO it's NOT flat - But there are far, far worse

Dear friend - just enjoy it ahh - WE 'd just love for you to run with us - some we race, some we just plod for pure fun to feel good
if you did, i could ( If you wished ) as i was running TALK you through everything about running - all those bits the eye does'nt see
getting rid of everything negative and make it positive -
Making it a clinical, methodical - effortless run
one year Hull track race was on the day before Worksop and we clocked 107 lap marathon in 5.03 - and on the way home next day we clocked Worksopn in 2.12
what ever happens
best of luck -
Sincerely
Mick
This is my PB course so yes it's definitely possible to PB here. I think having it in the end of October helps weather wise and I don't remember any major hills. The first 2 miles are up but the last 2 are down as it's the same road.
It's a nice race that I'm looking forward to doing again this year.
youl do sub 2
Hills are my friends, hills are my friends, hills are my friends.....
My friends really don't like me!
See you there!
