so this was my second time of completing this amazing half marathon. It’s so scenic you almost forget how far you are running! The support especially from the charity supporters is awesome and keeps you going although some parts of the course are quiet. I am a slow runner and with an injury beforehand I knew it would be hard but we had stunning (almost too warm!) weather and amazingly I finished in 2:51 making a 5 min PB! The sad thing when I finished is that there were no bananas left for finishers and there were still a lot of people on the course after me which was a real shame. Not a major thing I know but something to look at as I know I was shattered crossing that line and wanted something to refuel. I queued up for the goody bag which was quite a queue and I wasn’t massively impressed with this years which mainly consisted of different drinks. No protein recovery food and no Royal Parks water bottle from last year which was fab! Overall though these are minor whinges and the race course is fabulously scenic, the organisation is great (you will always queue for the loo and I didn’t use bag drop so can’t comment on this) and I am sure I will be trying again in the ballot next year!
