Thanks, the downs can really make the course quite a fast one if pacing is correct at the start.

Great job, Will. Done the Sheffield HM a few times on a different course. A shame there isn't a marathon any more. I did my first sub 3 there in 2002. Nice to see Richard S. Know him well. Used to be in the same club and relay / track teams in the Holmfirth Harriers days. Lovely chap. Good to have a personal bag drop. Organisation looked a bit chaotic at the start but if you treat it like a chilled out training one it looks like a good event

Thanks, awesome sub 3 in Sheffield, that course must have been brutal for a full marathon. Richard is a legend, nice guy. Yep I'm not sure but people said they messed up with the baggage tents, not sure exactly but last year went smoothly.

Fantastic. I did this race about 5-6 years ago, that hill!!! I'd love to return and do it and see what I can do now. I use to really enjoy the Sheffield 10k too. Fab video as always 😊

Thanks Dannii, it's got bigger for sure, the people of Sheffield seem to always come out for this event.

That's a great time for a training run, not too far off sub 3 pace for the whole half! I raced this hard and it smashed my quads to bits on the downhills. PB'd and not got any races for a little while though, so it was worth it. Good luck for Manchester!

Anyone who shows BDTBL on a Vlog gets a like from me. The bag drop was chaos, it was quicker to run back to my car and leave the bag there. Really didn't need a 2 mile round trip sprint just before the race start. Ended up running with my car keys rammed down my undercrackers.

I am aiming for a sub 1 hr 30. Running it in 3 weeks at this race, from my training i am capable of a sub 1 hr 28 half maybe sub 1 hr 27 or a little better as i did have energy after it and wasn't fresh on the training run, lets just go with sub 1 hr 28 but I am wondering if sub 1 hr 30 would be too much for me on Sheffields hills? I've been told ill make up for slower miles later on when going downhill but i am feeling super anxious haha.

It’s a fairly hard course. Some really fast runners can pace themselves really well during the first part and make up alot of time, but it not a easy thing to do, requires a lot of experience pacing correctly with the effort. Just don’t go too hard in the first part and then you can start increasing the pace gradually half way into it on the down. But yea this course is not the best to PB on but the event is really good with a great crowd so enjoy it!

@@TheWu Thank you I think I will play it somewhat safe instead of taking a big risk and having to stop. I'll save the risk run for my cities half as won't be all that bad if I mess up not having to travel for it 😂😂 good luck out there if you're doing it again 💪
