    Wow congrats fella, less than 2 hours is fantastic. I have all the respect in the world for everyone who took part.

    I saw a couple of people fall over running down the steep bank coming onto the coast road. :lol:

    it was painful this year though, i'm sure it was easier last year and the year before....i have had a year of completely disrespecting my body and no training so i am happy with my 2:16, not my personal best though.

    cant believe craig young beat everyone bar you german...your like the terminator, i dont believe you can be beaten, if you put your mind to it and and actually trained i reckon you'd be heading for 57mins easy...where as him, he's like the frank gallagher of stanley, he should be dead. But i'm very proud of him for finishing it, never mind the fab time he got.

    oh actually no what did lukey do?

    i'm proud of everyone ho took part, the only people i hate are the ones who hold me up by walking in the first 3 miles....put some effort in, only another 10 to go.

    1:55, could have done it much faster if my boyfriend wasn't so soft!

    Definitely going to try and make it a regular thing, the last mile was a killer but it's such a nice run along the seafront and the crowds were awesome.

    Well done everyone who took part. :)

    Aye well done son. Stanley is still in shock and will be for a long time. You have given drugs a good name.

    I trained like fuck this year and stayed off the drink for a month so I dont think i'll be beating my time again.

    Couldn't run a bath, but my mate done it under 2 hours, said it was a nightmare to get started like.
