This event falls in perfect marathon training time at the end of January and early February. The course is not going to give you a PB but it is a large event to get get you used to race day.

 

Positives:

  1. Large event, well organised.
  2. Good pacers
  3. Occurs at a good time of year
  4. Hills are good for training
  5. Good medal and T-Shirt

Negatives:

  1. Quite a few hills, so not PB territory
  2. Similar course to all the other running races in Watford
  3. The course does not go into Watford, but out on country roads, and has the delight of crossing the M25

Would I do it again? Yes. I have done it twice and will do it for marathon preparation.
