That is correct, the cutover point from first to second lap is at Churchill Bridge.
Hilly-lots of people seem to moan about this race but keep coming back for more so can't be that bad!
WhichWayNow!, my pic is from Cardiff 04. I did the marathon, did you do the half then?
Zoom, that's very typical of runners don't you think!:o)

I also did the Ultra Marathon 30 mile in Jan at Oldbury and finished 4hrs 20sec. Place 30/70. P.S. they hurt a bit!
BUT you never know all the hard work ive been puting in something weird might happen.
Zoom, age isn't a barrier. Hard consistent training brings about results! I'm f40 and won't allow my age to stop me training like I was 20 years younger:o)
LLL-you'll break 1:25 I'm sure!
Your doing what you always do before a big race... You'll come in at 1:20:00 Knowing you!
Zoom...
I agee with Hilly, I'm 40 and have only been running seriously for 2 and 1/2 years.
My first HM was 2:00:11, my last one was 1:47:12.
Don't forget running takes years off you!
Stace.
{:o)¬<
You doing OK ? What's your target for this one then?
RD
Received my number today. Looks a bit tatty before I've even put it on!
going back to what the Race Director said about the course I don't think that IK Brunel designed GreeN Park Station as it was on the Midland Railway.
Entering this race as given me new found motivation so something good as come out of it.
WWN.Youve got loads of time on your hands,i only started a couple of years ago at the tender age of 30 although ive always gone out for the odd jog or two but nothing ever serious.Keep enjoying it thats the main thing.
Wrinty-Hows your injury,hope your gonna let me keep up with you at this one.
Got my Race Pack today - I'll revise my predicted time after the Reading Half on 6th.
WWN - I'm positively ancient, but I love it [ & running ;-) ]
RD
Could someone tell me how the start of this race is organised. Has it got time zones?
I also need to get some good long distance road trainers. They need to be light as well as stable. Any advice?
Has anyone seen the London to Brighton ultra in Oct? I fancy a go at that one. I have already ran one ultra marathon and yes they do hurt a bit afterwards! The qualifying time for this one is a marathon in under 4hrs so I should be ok and the cut off is 10 hrs.

Going for 3-4mins improvement over PB at Bristol last year. Doesn't sound much, but I suspect it won't be easy to maintain the pace for every single mile!
Counting down to Weston Tough 10 then Bath.
WWN, Injuries permitting this will be my fifth time at the Bath Half, so I guess that I know the course reasonably well. The first mile is downhill and then does two undulating 5.5 mile laps as the course follows the river Avon out towards Bristol and then back in on the other bank. Then the final mile is a mile long drag back up the hill. The course is normally well supported and if the RD can sort out the weather it is quite an enjoyable run.
WWN, I wear lightweight trainers-Saucony Trigon, Saucony Praxis, Saucony Fast Twitch Endurance, Asics DS trainers, Nike Skylons. I do mildly pronate so apart from the Skylons I think the others have a bit of medial support in them. They're all excellent trainers though! Your best bet is to visit a good running store and try on different models.
For me it always seems to be rather an ordeal and I have been getting slower each time out, but this is probably due to me always running better in the Autumn than the Spring on account of my obligitory Winter injury:-(
This is one course where you CAN start faster than even pace and get away with it. Which is lucky for me really, as I can't seem to master the negative split.
Just about to go out for m long run.Its cold,windy and raining hard.Will report back later.
blisters-love the pic of you on the floor, thats what I always feeling like doing after a race but never have the courage;-)
On track for 2-2.15 after getting my first sub 60 10k yesterday (59mins 26sec) there is a query about the distance being too long though so time could have been lower (it was a charity not club organised race.) Very good day all round as we called in the local pub afterwards and watched the wales rugby match (we finally can be proud again of our rugby.) It was fab to be in the capital with your countrymen and women (and a few english who had done the race too and had no choice but to cheer for wales!) and drink a nice pint (or few) of bread of heaven (glugg-have you had that one?!)
