1:53:26 in the Moray Half Marathon this morning, smashed my PB by over 10 minutes!
Well chuffed, only my second Half.
Congrats mate - you're well in front of me - for my 2nd half I clocked 1.58. Well done
6 days til my first marathon...
-
And you dont have to worry about them tapping you up for the cash if you dont.

When's the Manchester meet?
I was just having a peruse of half marathons down South late this year/early next year, and I didn't realise you can race round the Silverstone circuit!
After the novelty of being on the circuit has worn off (30 seconds?) the most boring half marathon course in the UK?
-
Perhaps next year we can have an efest challenge somewhere (possibly a half marathon?) and try and get a few people to enter the race (I don't mind travelling down) followed by a few post race imbibings.
I like this idea, especially the post race bit!
-
I reckon you'll be under 4.15.
No pressure.
Ha ha thanks!
Being my first marathon I will be happy to just get round - especially as Alzheimer's Society stand to benefit nearly £500.
-
Knocked another 20 miles out on Sunday. Fairly confident now of sub 4.30 in Berlin on the 20th. Strangely beginning to look forward to it!
-
I was there to see the convicts capitulate after lunch on Friday
Cracking day
-
Blimey, that's very impressive. I'm averaging 25-30 per week. Half marathon in 3 weeks (my second) and confident of breaking 2 hours.
Knackering is what it is!
Fairly confident of making the marathon inside 4hr30...fingers crossed!
-
Averaging between 40-50 miles each week now. Less than 5 weeks to D-Day and only 2 more endurance runs to go...
-
Hopefully they'll still be batting tomorrow when I'm there
Now, let's hold out to lunch...
-
Thank you England for bringing the expectation levels down and making the final test interesting...
...I am going to the Friday and perhaps the Monday (if it lasts that long...)
Before which I am off to Edgbaston for T20 Finals Day
-
16 mile training run completed on Sunday in 2hrs 20.
Another 8 mile session tonight...
...54 days to go
-
Is anyone else doing the Great North Run?
I entered the ballot but didn't get a place. So I entered Berlin instead (they're same weekend).
Have a place in the Great South Run but that's only 10 miles.
Good luck, always looks amazing on the TV, enjoy it
-
Sounds like you're prepared for it.
I wish!
Am planning on 15 mile long run this weekend. Then upping it by 2 miles every weekend until 23 miles. Then tapering down to race day.
But one thing planning....another thing actually doing...
What time are you hoping for? Sub 4 hours?Hoping to break 2 hours in my second half marathon in 7 weeks time.
I am aiming for 10min miles. So 4 hrs 20 approx.
Good luck with your half. I did 2hrs 1m for my first half. Was proper gutted at the time, but looking back was the best thing as it motivated me straight away to enter another and get under 2hrs.
-
I'm doing the Watford Half marathon in Feb. One of the hardest in Britain I'm reliably informed.
Surely, can't be as hard as Hastings?! Good luck with it.
Did Dartford half yesterday in 1.48
Just 8 weeks til my marathon debut in Berlin now...slightly nervous!
-
going to be a high scoring draw id say
An England batting collapse with the new ball...a big Australian score...and another fight to save the game would be my guess.
A saving grace could be Strauss dislocating Hauritz's finger...
-
Harmison's figures for Durham this afternoon; 8-7-1-1
Which proves absolutely nothing...
-
Get off.
GBH shouldn't even be considered. Non-cricketing reasons mind.
-
Unsurprising.
Spitfires strong favourites...which I don't like in the slightest.
-
So the quarter final line ups are complete:
Kent v Durham
Sussex v Warwickshire
Lancashire v Somerset
Northants v Hampshire
Am hoping to get down to see the Spitfires on the Monday, then fingers crossed another finals day at Edgbaston on Aug 15th...
Lancs for me are the stand out side in the competition...not too bothered though, they often are and always choke.
Anyone else going to a qtr final match? Or planning on doing finals day?
-
Until the England selectors actually choose a proven T20 team they will continue to struggle for any consistency.
Have a look at all the English players featuring in the sides that have reached T20 finals day in the last two years. Where are they in the squad?
What type of bowlers have proved most effective at slowing down the run rate after the first power play in T20 cricket? Clue, it isn't fast bowlers, nor is it spinners...
-
I got mine in too.
Am also doing Dartford Half in July, Berlin Marathon in September, followed by Windsor Half just a week later...
-
& entry for next year's is open already, or is that just for this year's runners?
Ballot has opened and already closed...hope you got your entry in...
Huge congrats to both themuel and stoopidbird. i hope to emulate you both at Berlin in September
-
Well??
How did everyone get on? I had a blast, watched from Greenwich, Mudchute, Westferry, and Tower Hill. Cracking atmosphere as usual - just hope I'm lucky in the ballot this time. Roll on October!
Hope all efesters got round safely and aren't in too much agony now
