runner duck Apr 2012 10:42pm, 30 Apr 2012 7,943 posts	0 runner duck liverpool this year was very well-organised. not very hilly either. a long hill coming out of the tunnel at the half way point and another hill out of the city centre a couple of miles later. but apart from that not too bad. there's quite a lot of river frontage tho - although most of it on the wirral side which mostly has the wind behind you. there was a bit of weather in the final mile or so but at least it was either downhill or flat at that point.

runner duck Apr 2012 10:50pm, 30 Apr 2012 7,945 posts	0 runner duck i like luton and am planning on doing it again this year. it's my pb course which is a bit bizarre as it is definitely the hilly side of undulating. i didn't have a very good day at liverpool, either, bcrb, but i can't blame the course for that! limped in at nearly 5:15 - i've managed to block out the exact numbers. it was a scally party at the back tho which more than made up for it
