I seem to be in the orange zone - where's that ? I'm aiming for about 145 ish and that's what I put on my application
I'm the last Orange Pack, put down i was aiming for 1 hour 50 but did the sunderland in 1 hour 42. Trainings been shot to bits, furthest I have done is 8 miles, went out to do 10 this morning and had to stop at 5, shooting pains up my legs into my back, kidneys.
Last Orange section for me as well no idea what I put on my application, hopefully doesnt mean i go off to fast trying to keep up with people or even starting there will the first few miles be slow going with the crowds?
If you are starting from the green or pink and hoping for a clean run through the crowds forget it mate,it's a nightmare.What sort of time you think you'll get? I've ran from orange and white before and never had too much of a problem with crowds tbh. I'm running under someone else's number this year and so I'm still not sure where I'll be, I'm just hoping it is not pink zone but I've got a feeling that I'll be the furthest back I've ever been. I'm not massively bothered but I'm planning on using the race as a training run for Keilder and want to push it as much a I can.

Good luck mateAye that's what I was thinking. I'll survive if I'm not able to do a quick race, just see what happens.

Less than 2 hours.
Good luck mate
Good idea mate,you wouldn't have broken any records from that far backSafe to say I won't be doing this years run at any great pace. Got my number through the post from the woman I bought it off, posted asking for spare number on internal works buliten board. Pink zone K, right at the very back. Wasn't planning on running for charity but might get a cheap fancy dress and try raise a few quid.

Aye,just enjoy the day mate and hope you raise a lot for charityHaha aye I know. I thought it's a good opportunity to do it for charity and get dressed up like a dafty. Other years I've never ran for charity, hard to ask people for money when I do 13 miles before breakfast regularly. At least doing it this way I'll still have a good race rather than being frustrated by the walkers.
