Which half?

[SWSteve]

i want to complete a half marathon in in the next 12 months, I'm not the worst runner in the world and could get up and run a 5k in a decent time now if needed. But, I would love the challenge of a half marathon, but don't know where to dip my toe in.

I don't fancy running one in Bristol as this is where I live, and I run around the harbour/portway anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Any regional preference?
Fast and flat or undulating?
What time of year? I seem to remember March/April and September/October were peak times.

Take a look at ukresults.net

If you haven't already I'd suggest building up to running at least 15 miles before the event

I'm planning on Oxford in October (slowly...). It's a pretty flat course which is ideal for me as I tend to whinge when the going gets tough, YMMV.

Bath half is nice and not too far away, but you will have to wait til March next year

YMMV.

Well it shouldn't do too much on a half marathon surely
