Well done Dan, great run. Enjoyed the report.

Agree with most of your comments about this race. It's my local big race, and I would have done it again this year, but it didn't quite fit in with my training schdule for Zurich, mainly because it was a month later this year than normal.

Getting to and from the Madejski by public transport is a nightmare, as many thousands of disgruntled away fans will discover next season. But it's still a race that I'd recommend to people. Has the feel of a big event, and by half marathon standards, has excellent crowd support.

Are you planning on doing any more Berkshire races this year? There are a few good 10Ks in the area, plus the Burnham Beeches Half is back in August. Hot and hilly, but I may do it again this year.
