Not a hope. She is a big walker and fitter than me.

Still Awaiting My Number............

Hmmmm, I'm unsure what to expect of the course... if you look at the hill profile on two different scales, it can either look like a nice fast course... with only a few inclines, or it can look like you've got 3 moutainous peaks to climb! :eek:

Compared to....

http://www.goodrunguide.co.uk/Elevat...lEmphasis=True

It's also interesting to see there's an 'equivalent flat distance' of 6.56miles... I wonder if that means the 10k is measured as if it were a 2D course (i.e. in plan view with NO elevation) and we actually have to run 6.56mi once you take into account the hills... or whether... well... I dunno... something else??

Steve · #**249** 28th May 08, 12:45 PM

I don't really mind what the course is like...not going to be charging round it...unless Trin makes me!!

**richardsimkiss** · #**250** 28th May 08, 01:02 PM

I seem to have no ability to start a race without the aim of getting to the finish as fast as I physically can... which can be useful, but not always

bagpuddycat · #**251** 28th May 08, 01:07 PM

I'm fully booked clear through to the middle of August :eek:, and since I'm still not running, I'd feel a fraud, anyway.

Maybe next year

PB was a few months ago, 37:18... though I've no idea where my fitness will be on June 21st. After just over 2 weeks of inactivity, a slow club run on tuesday absolutely killed me, and I'm off on hols next week so won't be training hard at all... with my current form I'll be ecstatic if I can manage a sub 40min.
