Pacers at GMR will be interesting given the crowds Looking forward to Sunday as well, although not particularily a target race forme this year I'm hoping for a decent time and I will use that time to guage what speed I set out on the Manc mara at
RunningBob Mar 2012 12:12pm, 23 Mar 2012 2,684 posts	Quote Pin RunningBob Indeed - in fact my only attempt at GMR was over 40mins as could barely reach jogging speed from wave 3. I'm hoping that they have sorted out some pace pens but it should be a laugh. I'm going to give it a go on Sunday and hope that doesn't end in a taxi home from Mobberley ;).

Not sure what impact this man flu and recent mileage will have on me though. Rob - running for The Dark Side eh? I hope Mr Foster gave you a free number (along with 30 pieces of silver )

Nelly Mar 2012 2:10pm, 25 Mar 2012 304 posts	Quote Pin Nelly That was a little warm! But hopefully everybody still enjoyed it? I got a 1min PB, but probably lost the same amount in the final 2miles as by then I was struggling with the heat and didn't feel the need to push harder with VLM just around the corner.
