I'm in. Just done Catforth & Great North West HM's, so hope for another PB........
(Ferocitas)
It's a bit of a unfair question to be honest. Both city's have good support but in places Sheffield half has northing but industrial units on the route, but also goes through a massive posh student area. Leeds is a bit more spread out for parts of the half. So basically you will get support throughout most of the half and some good student area's but around ecky road in Sheffield you will get a little mobbed.
Beware there is a bit of a rivaly between the two city's, which normally I try and stoke up because of ex from Leeds but will behave. (I'm a southener living up north, who will never go back).
I'm in and so is Mr CS... He has agreed to stay with me to help me pace in prep for Edinburgh mara 4 weeks later... Gotta love Mr CS.
Cake, you still owe me a pint!!! Are you coming to Bradford in 3 weeks or have your plans gone awry???
hiya caz
welcome to the gang
im in this too as well as edinburgh
hi caz
ive been on quite a few threads so have lost track of the later ones but i will be back on there later
ive got 2 more halfs and the kilomathon before i do sheffield and have been chatting on there too
hard to keep track of it all
Caz still up for Bradford but picked up a niggle on my calf. It's Liverpool half the weekend before, so if the calf misbehaves and I have to chop my leg off I might have to just heckle from the sidelines. Got to be very careful because got a few jolly's on the calendar the next few months.
note to self.
dont buy cake a pint
Good news is I can't drink. Made a promise that wouldn't before a curtain race this year and trying really had to stick to it. I turned down whisky at the weekend! Single malt I've never had before as well!
Dev Cat sounds good to me... I think I'll be driving as I've signed Mr CS up for it as well and its only fair that I drive us home seeing as he normally does the driving. So it'll be a pint of lager shandy for me.
I'm sure B would appreciate your company heckling from the sidelines at Bradford if your calf is playing up Cake. *sends super healing vibes to Cakes legs* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So are you running it again this year Helen??
Good to see the Sheff Half thread back up and running and some familiar faces back to give it another run. Retford was supposed to be my first half of the year but a friend of mine has decided to get married the day before which kind of put paid to that one so Sheff will be my first half of the year. Not sure whether I'll make the pub afterwards, willknow nearer the time.
Ooh look! A Sheffield half mara thread! Amazing what you find if you venture off the Sheffield Social thread once in a while. Cake getting the drinks in in the Dev Cat afterwards then is he? I'l tell all the S.P's and the chaps on the sister thread . . .
Any slow people doing this??
I run all of it, but my PB is only 2 hrs 41.....
Anyone else planning on bimbling at the back??? 
Yes
and
Yes
Don't worry I'm slow in the head and slow on my feet.
Sorry to hear about your Nan Helen. ((big tinternet hug))
Looking forward to this one too. Used to live in Sheffield, just the other side of Hunters Bar from the turn-off point. Done it twice before and thought it had a great atmosphere, especially on Ecclesall Rd(was it last year or '08 when they had cheerleaders on the last industrial section). Prefer it to Leeds 1/2 even though Leeds is my now home town HM.
Will keep bumping into a few from this thread as also doing Leeds 1/2 and Edinburgh. Glad to see others doing all these too -worried I might be overdoing it. Will race at Sheffield (as has PB potential), but prob just use Leeds as a training run and opportunity to develop a thirst.
