You at least get a chance to pick up speed on the downhill sections. Last year was the first time I've done the Percy Pud and I really enjoyed it. After a fast downhill start, I realised it was going to be a slight uphill to the turning point but I consoled myself that at least that meant a slight downhill on the way back. Then I just managed to save enough in the tank for the last few km and the hill finish - and it was my first sub 60 min 10K I hate even average paced fancy dress runners (they are always way in front of me) never mind camels at that pace

Ebb Nov 2013 8:58am, 26 Nov 2013 26 posts	0 Ebb I'd say it is "a bit of incline" but feels worse because it is at the end.
