    Re: Langley 7 - Sat.7th Nov.

    I clocked 59:15 2 years ago, so sub-60 already in the bag!

    hoping for sub-57 this year

    sub-56 would be super-cool (sub-8min/mile)

    however, 21 miles out yesterday recceing Grindleford Gallop route is probably not the best preparation

    I did 52.36 in 2009. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead!

    Re: Langley 7 - Sat.7th Nov.

    Doh!!!!!!!! Missed it again, even if by less than a minute.

    Maybe the trip to the Lakes took too much out of my calves... they certainly were smarting going up and down.

    Of course, the lad made a fool of me... by about ten minutes.

    See what the proper results show... might have PB'd.

    Couldn't hang on to you Daz!

    Re: Langley 7

    good to chat with lantern and Truck - this race has an extra-friendly feeling to it, as you get runners of all backgrounds turning out

    I finished in 58:23, but it took me 48secs to get from where the old finish was across the dam to the new finish, so I would've clocked 57:35 in old money! :wink:

    think I paced myself better all round, apart from going off rather too fast (7:15 first mile! :w00t: )

    Did it in about 58.30. About a minute slower than last year despite this year running all the climb and getting a sobre night in before! It's a great race though as others have said for the friendly crowd. Thinks it's been said before but feels like a fell race on the road. Top marks all round.
