  • Hills EP? (sounding hysterical) You didn't mention hills before.

    I'm in for an~2:10 group Debster. Hoping for 2:06.

    Just realised can cut and paste-brain not working well at the moment and nobody thought to help me out

  • Whats this about a 2.45 group.
    LEADER SPANS

    You practising to be a RW pace guide?
  • Me too! Me too!

    I haven't been able to train since the end of October, but I've entered anyway in the hope that I will be able to get running again soon. If I can get training in the next couple of weeks or so I should be able to get round in 1:40 or 1:45 (a PW., but I'll be happy to run)

    Mrs and junior are doing the 4k - that's starting to look like the sensible option.

    I'm interested to see how the new course runs and look forward to starting without an hour of hypothermia.
  • I'm in, I enjoyed it last year.
    Happy to beat 2hours , so I'll aim for 1:55.
    I've put you down for a 1:40 Johnny :-)

  • ooooooh lovely
    hello all you new peeps!
  • Calfsakillin - yep and if I feel creative enough in time I'll even have a little flag!!

    With regards to Pix's coments re: the 2:45 group... I will run at a steady pace for the entire distance, by my reckoning that means that the run all the way and the run walk groups should be reaching the end of each mile together... so watch out at the end of each mile folks for my encouraging shouts!
  • I'll be there too. I saw several of you at the start last year, and managed 2:11, so hoping for 2:10 this year.

  • What time does it start? Couldn't find it on the website and haven't got my race pack yet.
  • annajoannajo ✭✭✭
    10:am- its on the top left hand corner of the website, under the logo. Race packs arent sent out till a few weeks before the race, otherwise far too many people (including me usually!) lose their numbers etc
  • annajoannajo ✭✭✭

    Whos the most confident of running 2.10- I don't think I would be very good at that as 2:10 would be a PB for me by about 25 minutes (been a while since I ran a half-thats my excuse and Im sticking to it!)

  • You can't rely on me for 2:10 pacing either.

    I'll be setting of with a friend who's more likely to be 2:30, and then hoping a slow start will allow me to push on after about mile 8.

    On the other hand, I may end up struggling in at 2:30 + + if I don't get some more training done.

    Sam Panther: Would be good to meet up. I've never done an HM !!! So I've estimated a time of 1:45 on the entry form. Will be tagging along with Ratbag and Lamb.

    Thanks to Ratbag I managed to book a room at the Holiday Inn Reading (Basinstoke Road) - I hope that's the right one!

    Did someone mention a Party?
