I am actually marshalling tomorrow
I’ll go along with it if thats what they wish but me personally I think encouragement is more important now than ever.

Wherever you park , get there early
I feel nervous this year, had a foot injury a couple of weeks ago and feel underprepared, but If I get anywhere under 2hrs 20 I'll be happy.

Fingers crossed for you mate. What did you do to your foot?
I’d desperately like to get under 2:00. If I just miss out due to getting caught behind people I won’t be too gutted.

Bruised the ball of my right foot overdoing a run, that's a good target to aim for. I'm running to the Tyne Bridge with my mate, he suffers from arthritis in his big toes, so has to walk every other mile. Hoping that will stop me going off to quick. Good luck tomorrow mate

Crazy. I marshalled at Whitley Bay and we had a minutes silence - over 470 runners today.
Good luck to those running tomorrow. Remember to look out for the hash harriers opposite temple Park and get your cup of ale.
I will do my own half and hopefully be home in time for the start
Have a good run tomorrow everyone.
I did my parkrun today and will do 4-5 miles in the morning with my running group in preparation for my half in October. Should get back and watch GNR on tv. I did my first ever double figures run on Thursday-a whole 10 miles. Didn't post an update then due to the sad news. My tight calves also seem to have been sorted after a trip to a sports massage person I was recommended.

Thought I'd not seen you for ages. You going to try and do a few of the cross country runs?

If I could offer anyone some advice, it would be to not get a 5k PB on a HM PB attempt. Last 4 miles were horrible but I finished with a 2nd best time ever.
Hope you all smashed your goals, great day out.

1 hour 41 About as good as I was expecting.
Anyone else find the new routes to the start areas orange/white a bit of a shambles. Never had much bother getting to start area before but there were massive queues and bottle necks. Poorly organised today.

Aye it was a nightmare. No idea why they didn’t just do the usual of checking when you entered a pen.
It didn’t help that loads of people basically just jumped the fence and avoided the queues.
Well done on your time marra, cracking run.
