Milton Keynes 20 miler for me today! Fortunately it stopped raining at start time! We had to dive through a foot of water in the first underpass but after that all good. Really pleased with my time. Last 2 miles were hard work, especially with a mountain to climb at 19.5 miles!
So far we have 32 runners, friends and family confirmed.

Myself and my housemate are both travelling Saturday morning from Bristol to fight our way through the Expo. Be good to meet up with some other British runners for a pint afterwards.
We're both in the Yellow pen, though with my recent training level this is very optimistic for me, though my flatmate is looking on target despite it being his first marathon (my 3rd).
2 other friends travelling over to race as well, though not sure what pen they are in; need to urge them to get on this forum too.
Hope training is going well for everyone.
How are you feeling today Katey? Any better?
I feel a lot better thanks RunningRodent. We are away this week for a short break, back home Thursday and got here only to find I'd left my running trainers at home. I did venture out in my everyday New Balsnce trainers that offer no support but managed an easy 6km jog. Felt a bit more tired than usual doing it but not sure if that was because of a day not really eating or because there were more hills than I was used to.
List to follow - I'm a day late as have been visiting family, and running my hometown half marathon. I managed a PB, but am not 100% happy with it as it was 42 b****** seconds over 2 hours. I knew I should have found a flat course! Considering it was quite hilly, with two horrid hills in quick succession at around halfway and the last three miles being more up than down, I had a tummy ache AND it was raining so much the roads were turning into rivers at places I'm comforting myself that sub 2 is within reach for me. I'm signed up for another half next Sunday, which I was going to do more as a training MP run and run a few miles extra afterwards, but a bit tempted to give it another try now. Though that one isn't flat either, in fact I think similar elevation to last Sundays. We'll see....
glad you are better Katey
welcome Nicko, you are in the right place
i managed a short run yesterday so am feeling quite upbeat-physio tonight though
Bath Half this weekend, anyone else running it? Going to be a good test to see where I'm really at in race conditions with no excuses!
Ben - I think there could be a few people there. I think we had an event list fairy? but i could be wrong.
also I'm wanting to do a major marathon this year hopefully anyways as must are close down up now, do you no any still open. Thanks Greg
- Brighton is April and they could still accept. Maybe Manchester too?
- Dorchester is May and they are still accepting entries
- Amsterdam is October, so is Frankfurt.
If you just want capital cities: Stockholm, Edinburgh are also open for entries. The only ones I know are full are Paris, London
Hi running robert, thank for the reply, I may look into get kids going charity then, also I always new London marathon Is hard to get a slot but how hard Is it in numbers? How many apply in the ballot to how many get a place?
Chesrs Greg
I've entered the London ballot six or seven times (would need to check my rejection emails) and never got in, but I know people who get in first try.
If you are thinking Paris this year double check transport and hotels as would imagine it's a a bit busy!
How is everyone's training going this week? I'm feeling much better and did another 6km in my non running shoes, will try a longer one tomorrow.
Can you put me down for the meal on Saturday it will be me +2
Training turning into disaster constant colds ect I think I will be in survival mode
Good to hear you're back on track, Katey. Sorry to hear of the ongoing injuries for others.
Welcome Nick, Greg. Greg, Berlin is in September, so must surely still be open.
