If 300 RW members have entered this race where are they?

After a pleasing 1:54 at Windsor yesterday, I am revising my time to a more realistic 1:51 for Henley.

Good run, Flatish and quick, the only hill of significance comes at about 9-10 miles and it is a pig, but beware you come back down the other side (which is steeper). This resulted in black toenails the last time I ran it.

Is this easy to get to on a Sunday morning on public transport from London, does anyone know? Thanks

[Deleted User] · September 2005

not really Neil - I am coming from Reading, and getting a bus (no 329) there as the 1st train to Henley from Reading gets in too late.

If you can get to Reading before 9am, when the bus leaves it should be doable.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Thanks for that TMW, Reading could be the one then!

Muttley · September 2005

Alternatively, you could take a train to Twyford and a cab from there. Look up the distance on Multimap or Map24, might not be too expensive.

Muttley · September 2005

No 932, for anyone who wants to hurl abuse, point and snigger, etc ....

Sol · September 2005

Seriously tempted by this - I like the course, nice & flat except for that lovely hill. Managed a PB 1st time I ran it. Missed it last year, due to the Loch Ness Marathon. I'm doing Abingdon Mara' this year, which is the week after. Should be able to squeeze a half in the week before, without spoiling my taper - what do you reckon people?

[Deleted User] · September 2005

You called Muttley ;-)

Sol?
Neil Lamont?

Muttley · September 2005

What ho BK!

Sol - I'm doing the Abingdon as well. You know you want to do this one so why deny yourself? Go on....

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Half before a Marathon, possible but DONT race it you just won't recover in time, also watch that downhill!! Chip times this year, hopefully they've sorted out the dodgy start/ finish area on the field. (bit of a bottle neck as I remember)

Muttley · September 2005

I was on a roll last year, scoring a pb at the Henley half (1:36) then a pb as well at Abingdon (3:58) the following Sunday. Don't think that'll happen this year though :-(

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Anyone actually got their race numbers thru yet?

btw-I expect to come at the very bottom of your list...hoping for my 1st 2 hours?!! How embarassing...But my legs won't carry me any faster!!!!

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Arrived yesterday but without map. I guess should be easy enough to find.

No 660, probably dressed in black.

Give me a shout if you want some company Muttley.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

not turned up here yet but the post service here of late has been very bad.

Unknown · September 2005

Number 503. There is a map on the website. I did a 13.1 in training last week so 1:45 looks okay.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

I am new to this however applied ages ago to do the Henley Half as my first run. Its def. a run, not a race for me, as I am attempting 2hrs plus not like the speedy times I have been reading.

Have heard nothing at all and am getting worried as I didn't get into Bristol and have set this as a personal challenge for 2005.

Does anyone have a tel. no so that I can check or have they only now started to send stuff out?

Unknown · September 2005

Stuff is coming out this week. Has your cheque been cashed. There is a supporters number on the website

Stevie G · September 2005

can anyone answer me this

if theres a half marathon or a 6miler..can u just quit afetr 6 miles?

Or do they start at diffo times??

ive done 9 halfs, best in 1hr 28 but not sure if i'm currently half marathon level!

Unknown · September 2005

I seem to recall that everyone starts at the sam time. The six mile course and the i/2M course is initially the same but the 6 milers peel off back to the start after 6 and the 1/M carry on. I am not sure if you can opt out or in halfway around

Muttley · September 2005

I'll see you there on the day BK. Pondering my target time now. Lurching towards 8 m/m for first 6 miles or so then picking it up for a 1:40-ish finish. BUT ... full mara a week later, so no going daft. We'll see!

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Usually I'd suggest running together but as you've got Abingdon the week after I'll leave you to your own devices. If you catch me up on the hill then that's a different matter

Muttley · September 2005

Ye-e-e-s, I owe you a hill overtake someday :-)

Stevie G · September 2005

Anyone else know if you can stop half way?or can u only finihst he route you signed up for!

Muttley · September 2005

Dunno Stevie. The two runs do start at the same time - at least, they have until now. The 10K ends when we come back into town along the riverside.

Why not email the organizers - website is henleyhalfmarathon.org.uk.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

I might like to stop after three miles :-)

That's what I wanted to do at Windsor, but somehow managed to finish.

Howdy, Stranger!
