A Bit too early to plan but I will probably be there if only to watch Jon doing his sub 60 !!!!!!!!
Of to NZ in the morning for three weeks - to include the Auckland marathon on 2/11. May or may not be able to log on while I'm away and will decide about Reading when I get back.
Was is a really bad mood yesterday when I wrote what I did, I hope I didn't upset anyone, especially Skinny Whippet.
Hope you're doing alright mate, look forward to seeing you again sometime
Now to start training and practicing eating while on the run. There are so many good food stops on the route, starting with the Chippy on the Shinfield Road :-).
BTW was south Reading Leisure centre at about half way last year? If so I used the loo there :-)
Yes it was, I remember the brass band.
It is gentle to start with. After the 1st mile is a sharp hill but not too long. it will be great going DOWN Kendrick Road this time!
Shambler - you know it makes sense!

Generally yes, but not as scenic although there is very good crowd support.
On the new course there will be a sharp hill up after one mile, then gradually down to town (Kendrick will be a good long down hill. I can remember one more up hill from the Oxford Road, about 6 miles, then pretty flat to the finish.
Andyp
as it is now up and running (pun intended)
just been there and all there is a front page!!
pah!
Oooh shes keen!
Then I took a look at the new route. With the start a mile from the main baggage area, another lengthy delay is all but guaranteed while they wait for everyone to get there. Sure it'd be nice if all 7000 runners left plenty of time to drop off baggage and get to the start, but that isn't going to happen on a cold March morning on a new course.
But
i did have a great time, cos of all you lot
So im entering again
OK, I'm a little bias as I'm a member of the club that organises this... but it really is a very good, well organised race.
It hasn't officially been launched yet, so no entry forms yet - but pretty sure that these will be available before Xmas (on-line entry provided too) - I think that next years date will be 21st March.
(sorry to hijack the thread!)
