I'm in, was the link off the man site working? I went in directly through runbritain. Small matter of London to get through first and I'm nursing a dodgy calf at the moment but abo is definitely my A race this year.
I was a 666 in a previous race as well! Went well with the club vest and gave the annoucer at the track a good giggle.
I signed up for Chester yesterday. Abingdon was great last year but I'm not sure I can do both. Might have to leave it for the time being and hope for a transfer closer to the time, depending on how I feel and availability. I think there were a few transfers going on in September...
I think the biggest 'hill' is that first bit of road as soon as you come out of the stadium. Course is flat and fast - Abingdon is a great race. I'm in again!!
I followed a p&d last time for abo and it got me an 8 minute pb, but training went perfectly not even a niggle of note. I'm currently nursing a sore calf which is not far off healing but I have invested in an online coach. A bit more variation in the runs, a drop in mileage but more quality so it'll be interesting to see if it pays dividends
Really excited about running Abingdon marathon this year. Currently pregnant with first baby due end of April but still knocking out 50 miles a week! looking forward to training hard again and aiming for a 3.15 marathon time.
I'll be there, hoping that the extra pressure will at last bring me below 5 hours! Someone suggested that carrying less weight might help - I'm not convinced but I may give it go!
I'm considering making Abingdon my first marathon, and with its flat course, hopefully a decent and respectable time! Must regsiter soon though if it sells out as quick as everyone says it does! Good luck everyone!!

And they've even opened it early
Just note the 5 hour limit will be more strictly enforced this year
Nice one. I'm in.

please ignore the "venue" on the RunBritain site. This will be corrected shortly
Sadly Martin, I reckon it'll go alphabetically
My favourite was 666

Who has raced Abingdon before? Is it a very flat course? I need a new PB
Millay-259 looks a nice number, I hope I get 314;-)
I'd like 3:29.59 or below
3rd time lucky for me, I have entered before but not actually made to the start for various reasons..

GIW I shall follow P&D , which I just happen to be following at the moment in prep for VLM

I'm in. No cc charge which was good news.
My 5th Abingdon and my brother's 18th!! The location for both our PBs - his 3:35:15 (2003), mine 3:35:02 (2008). Another duel this year likely.
