"That’s amazing how’s the training going ? Any tips running the course for the first time x" I haven’t ran it but lower your expectations for your times. There’s that many people running it can easily add 20 minutes to your normal half marathon time. | |||

"That’s amazing how’s the training going ? Any tips running the course for the first time x" Training is a bit hit and miss at the moment . Injured hip ! Hubby doing better than me. Every year i have done it it has been a very different experience. Last year had extremes of weather. Relax and enjoy it ..the atmosphere and local support is ace. I always go on the left carriageway at the start so i go under the oggie oggie bridge lol. | |||

I have heard this with the sheer numbers running it is massively slower than usual, if I am honest just looking forward to the atmosphere not looking for a time ! | |||

You not fancy it again ? I have trained well to be fair done a half marathon already this year too so feel ready for it "I only did it that year as someone had an injury so I took their number off them for the price they paid - hence zero training. I did legitimately put in for the ballot the following year, got a place, got an injury myself so deferred. And then fitness totally fell by the wayside. | |||

"It’s classed as undulating it has some incline but the whole it’s not too bad " Aye they tell you that shit!
I did the 'Fun run' at Saltwell Park too... Undulating apparently also means the 'wall of death!' | |||

"How hilly is the GN Run?" It's not that bad! The drops are easier than the highs. If you ran it in reverse it'd be harder going. Loads of wheelie folk do it every year. It's a very inclusive race | |||

"How hilly is the GN Run?" It’s not hilly. You start on the Town Moor/Central Motorway and end up at sea level so it’s a net drop. X | |||
