Nice Race! I thought the use of the emoticons with your splits was particularly descriptive.
Give yourself some credit though. You actually did a pretty good job pacing -- those splits represent a variation of only ±3.6%. 
A few questions:
1) How long have you been running since you re-started after the lay-off?
2) Do you have URL for the New Balance plan you used?
Cheers,
Jeff |

Nice day for a gloat...particularly good use of smilies/frownies!
Oh, and GREAT JOB ON THE RACE! OK, I know you would like to have had more even splits, but a sub 1:30 is freakin GREAT, I tell you, GREAT!
Way to go!

Hi,
Thanks for all the kind words, sorry I haven't got back sooner but I have been away visiting the City of York wher I have a house.
To answer Jeffgo blue questions
I re-started running last June when my partner signed up for the Bristol Half which took place in Sep 06. I ended up acting as her water carrier on the long Sunday runs, it placed the running bug, which had sadly been missing,back in me.
During my absence from running I was doing a lot of Concept 2 indoor rower training so my cardio vascular was still of a decent level (6:41 for 2km on the indoor rower if it means anything to anyone?).
The New Balance training programme was on
www.bathhalfmarathon.co.uk
Then on the left hand side bar is an icon stating Training Schedules if I recall it has a sub 2hour sub 1:30 and a get you round plan.
I will attempt to find the full URL and post it later today.
Again, many thanks for your kind words.
Regards
Shaun |

The URL for the Sub 1:30 plan
http://www.bathhalfmarathon.co.uk/site.aspx?i=xb228
But as I said in my earlier post, to view all the plans go to
www.bathhalfmarathon.co.uk
Then click on Training programmes on the left hand menu.

Hey BristolRunner!
I'm from Bristol too. Born and bred in Longwell Green, near Hanham, went to school in Oldland Common. Where you at?
Course I live in Auckland NZ now but I still talk like a cross between a farmer's wench and a servant girl. That accent is so hard to shake. It really annoys me because I think that I speak so cosmopolitan after living in London for years, but as soon as they meet me people say 'You're from Bristol then!'
Gert lush!

Actually I'm an in comer. Born in Leicester in the East Midlands I left at the age of 17 and joined the British Army I've travelled around with the Forces for 23 years finally landing in Bristol, I started in Fishponds and ended up in Shirehampton. I love Brissle its gert lush. I have taken to supporting Bristol City etc etc etc
The local radio station did a cover of Feed the world with lines such as
'There's a burnt out car in Hartcliffe' and
Do they know it's Christmas time in Knowle'
For Bristolians it was very very funny.

That song sounds very funny. I'll never forget Vicki Pollard's line in Little Britain 'I just seen Christina Aguillera getting on a bus in Fishponds' You have to sort of 'know' Fishponds to know how totally ridiculous that statement is though.
Happy running.
