    Uk there are a few on in the next few months if you fancy a half before September...

    Depends what you want really - do you want to run it comfortably or do you just want to get round??

    There's the Wharfdale half in June in Skipton - off road and you can pay on the day...seems fun :D

    I dont do running comfortably :o .

    Like today its like two laps road the dam one X-contry and the other lap on the main road next to it..

    i figuered that seeing i was doing two laps and not one for the first time, i would try and pace myself for the first lap.


    so my first lap ended up a massive 13 seconds of what is my current best.... and i was hopeing for a good 3 mins slower.

    I just can not run slow :confused: . ( well slow in my terms )

    I will be doing the Norwich Half again in November - gives me loads of time to get some good training in between FLM and November.

    Norwich eh! I bet thats quite good fun :D

    Uk - you will have to learn to pace in a training program - or you will overtrain and effect your times - speed and distance only go together in races when training for a particular event - you can lose at lot of time by putting them together too often! Okay thats you told ;)

    Norwich was good - 2500 runners, plus a 5k for those that wanted something less. Only thing is that it is a 2 lap course, with a hill at the end of each lap.....ok the first time, but the second time you know what is coming :eek:

    I would def do it again!
