It's a run that Hallamshire do on Thursday nights. 15 mins flat, 25 mins uphill (at a gradient of about 1 in 4) and then 25 minutes downhill again. Starts off steady (ish!) and gets faster.
Tim - running Worksop on 28th October so not got long!

I would like to get under 80 minutes. I've never properly run a half before so it's going to be new territory.

I'm sure, looking at your training speeds etc. you'll do sub 80. If I can do 80.29 you'll surely better that. Just make sure each mile (which will probably be marked) is 6 mins or under!

Don't do a Jubby special. My first half was the Great North - started from the elite pen and went through the first 5k in 15:09 - was walking through the drink stations by 11 miles.
Managed around 71, but a very painful way to do it.
Suggest you aim to be comfortable (eg speedy training session) at 7 miles and race the second half.
