Doing a ten miler next weekend so would love to get a PB third weekend in a row. Well I missed out on the ten mile PB by 2 seconds.  Did get a PB at 10k though but only because I haven't ran a 10k in about 3 years. Oh, and I finished one place in front of Meb Keflezighi, who is going to be running the marathon for the US at Rio Olympics. Hope he can go a bit faster by then! ;-)  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseybairn Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Evening. Â Has anyone entered the Southampton Half Marathon in 2 weeks?

McToot Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hamburg marathon yesterday. Well organised, good crowds out to support and decent weather. No a bad medal as well. And a PB for the wife :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecie Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Brighton marathon was wonderful this weekend, the only "problem" was that it was too well supported, meaning that there was nowhere to stretch off at the side for miles on end. As an aside, my right leg can right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the German efficiency there were certainly no issues getting our bags back at the end. For a spring marathon I loved Rome and Barcelona and preferred them. The locals don't get behind it as much as the Germans did though. Hamburg definitely a good option for when the Nae luck magazine drops through the door from London, which is when we booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo87 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Best of luck to anyone doing the London Marathon this weekend. Be on the look out for the Motherwell flag around the 4 mile mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Was trying to get sub 50 at Balmoral but finished with a time of 50.38 which was my second fasted time. It felt good though and I am relatively happy as I didn't quite think I would do it anyway. It was freezing with snow showers which actually suited me. The event is however shit value for money compared to just about any other 10k I have done. They was no clock at the end which was push for spectators. The cheapest quality t-shirt and just a bottle of water at the end - not even a banana to be seen. They also really need to sort out the start which is stupidly congested. The information didn't even tell you where the water stops were which isn't a big deal for the 10k but for the 15 miler it is quite important. I do enjoy it though it just is a bit poor for an event of this size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caledonian1 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Also ran the 10K at Balmoral and reasonably happy with 47:21....it is a tough course so not comparable with other 10K's. I have hardly been able to run this year with a dodgy ankle but gave it a go on Saturday. The last three years I have cycled out from Aberdeen to the start and then cycled home straight after....was so tough on Saturday as it was so cold....the snow / hailstones hitting my face was not the "warm up" I had hoped for. Usually a few people do that wee duathlon but looked as if I was the only one this year....happy to have done my first century ride of the year though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseybairn Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I ran the Southampton half yesterday. Really well organised and enjoyed the run over the inchin bridge. Â First half in 18 years and really got the bug for it. Signed up for a Jersey half in June. Â Managed 2hrs and 7 mins which really happy with as was aiming for anything under 2hrs 20 mins. Â They also had pacers running in the race which was helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cove_Sheep Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 No idea who this is, but seems some cheating at London... I also appear to have made it onto the TV coverage of the Manchester marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
