First of all sorry about the button clenching, I keep trying to persuade people it's a family site but what do I know!

Well good luck getting up to half marathon distance most of have there there and done it or working up to it. If you need any advice or opinions (we have lots of those) then just ask away most of have been there and got the badge.

Thanks. I have done the distance a few times. Not in an official race yet but I know I can do a half at least. I am thinking of entering the Blenheim palace half in Oct . I'm looking to beat my pb of 1 hour 56.

Stop thinking, just do it! go on do it now : bhf.org.uk/blenheim/ here you go you can register here.

1hr 56 is a pretty good time, i want to break into under 2hrs this year at half distance.

Oh I think you should enter! Blenheim is a beautiful place to run, an undulating run I believe but you have time to prepare for that. You have a great time for previous halves!
