We Love Manchester 10k - 24th June

I'm coming home early this year and have entered this! Excited to be running on home turf for a change. Anybody else running/watching?

Aw great stuff! Hopefully with only 2000ish entrants there's a chance that we'll be able to hook up and say hello. You and I will be posting similar times too Rob i think.

Oh I'm a tough old bird who's used to running in the desert heat so hopefully it'll stand me in good stead for a hot one. Although what's more likely is arctic conditions because I seem to have a habit of jinxing the weather every year just as I land on home soil

I'd better get some speed work done now I think to get my legs 10k sharp

Unless they've changed it, this is the route I remember from last year - a large lap, then a smaller one, back into the stadium (the regional athletics one, not the etihad!)

Usual Manchester forecast - cloud, sunshine, rain, over the space of 5 minutes.

I would be prepared for any eventuality, but check out of the window first thing on Sunday too!
