I first this race in the build up to last years London Marathon and here I was doing thr same again. This is a great event well attended. supported and organised. There is a large mix of pacers on the day, sadly not one for my target time but that woild be greedy wanting something just for me. I managed to PB on this pretty much flat course and i am aware that many other did as well. It is perfect to see how the training is going and provide a bit of confidence that things are on track for the upcoming spring marathons. The only thing i found hard on course was the water stations but this is me finding it hard to run and drink from a cup. These were well stock and spaced and inadditoon to these there were two sponge stations. The medal as always is of a high standard and will look good on the wall. This is one to do and one I will be back to in the future for sure.
