Great North Run

[Super Ted]

Would like to do it around 1 hour 30 mins.

Why isn't it called the Great North East Run?

I gonna feel a bit daft running in my "Rebecca" numbering mind.

 

[D.A]

Got my place but also have a really tight hamstring that I've had for about 3 months now, so I've done basically no training at all. Hoping for under 1:50 but that might be a struggle

I guess you never listened to my advice.

Change it to 'Rob'.

 

[Mackem00]

Might aswell change it to my actual name if I'm gonna fuck on doing that like.

Good idea tbf.

I don't live local so couldn't get to the place you suggested but I went for deep tissue and acupuncture and it has helped to the point that I feel like I can run now, but hampered my training a lot!

It's worth the travelling.

I didn't think you could change the names? suppose you could put a post it note over the top and write your proper name on

That's what I meant. Just cover it and write over the top.

Just make sure you stick your emergency contact details on the back, (fingers crossed nowt happens) so they can contact any one you want them too. If not they wont have a clue who you are.

Canny for those of who haven't done it before to give an idea of the route.

Is there a bar at the finish line?

The new crown is every close

 

[darius]

I'm doing it. I've done quite a few. I'm not very fast but my times range from 1:44 to 1:57. I retired this year so I have trained quite a bit so expect to be within my range. I'm in my fifties so won't get any faster.
Running in aid of Cancer Research. Best of luck everybody. I'm in Orange zone D

The weather forecast is now saying the wind is meant to be '13 South South Westerly'

Anyone explain whether this is good or bad?

That's the direction it comes from so the Westerly bit is good, the South bit less so. Generally it is good I would say. Least of my worries to be honest.

It's a great experience, you'll love it

 

[JimmyQuinn]

Once again I've not trained properly and am praying for rain.

In Zone C which means I'll spend the first two miles going off far too quick then spend the next eleven watching people sail past me
