APC Slower than I hoped for. Considering the recent injury enforced lack of training, not a bad time. Too warm for me though. 70 seconds plus better than last Yr. Unaffiliated 39:44 40:48 40:48 67.15

ChrisDig Like sardines packed together for at least 2k so no chance of PB but good morning out with good crowd support set in Britains best city. Unaffiliated 39:12 39:47 59:59 41:24 65.29

Cormorant Nice race, and dangerous proof that you can run a 10K on hardly any training. It felt hot out there and I was glad of the shower after Old Trafford. Forgot to tie on my chip, like an idiot, so this time is from my watch. Cranleigh Tortoise & Hare Runners 44:56 47:29 47:00 48:18 61.51

Dannyboy01 Very hot and very congested at times. Fastest 10k for a while though and fairly happy with the performance considering lack of training for the last few weeks. Chorley Athletics and Triathlon Club 34:14 42:29 47:17 55.83
DaveM1962 Nice flat course - first 10k - even with staggered starts still al lot of people running. I will do it again though! Selby Striders, UKnetrunner 47:11 53:27 55:00 54:40 52.15

Ehlne Any other casualties in this race...? I got elbowed and tripped up by some pushy guy after about 2k. I cried out in pain as both knees cruised along the hot gravel but he didn't even look round - obviously too set on getting that PB. Hobbled through the rest of the race and was relieved to get back in once piece in under 1 hour. :( To all those macho guys looking for your 10k PB, please do the sensible and considerate thing and steer clear of the Great Manchester Run. Choose a small race for everyone else's sake. Manchester Harriers & AC 50:57 56:17 49:49 56:17 53.38

Hev Not expecting a PB, as it will be rammed!! Going to enjoy the atmosphere and have a nice run. Will save PB for the City of Manchester 10K in June!! No PB as expected but still pleased with my time - really enjoyable race - looking forward to the Great Wales Run in July! Unaffiliated 53:12 55:28 58:35 50.77

jolguk I wouldn't bet on me. I haven't felt very fit since a few weeks before FLM, to be honest! UPDATE - Oh well, not too bad. A long way off my PB, but I hadn't expected much, and - just - achieved my 45 minute target for today. It was way too hot for me, too. The crowd support was much better than I expected, actually, although the changes in the course I think make it slightly harder than when I did it a couple of years ago. The big race feel is as fun as ever. Dragons RC 42:55 43:25 46:30 44:59 66.59

Luiz Wasn't impressed with this. Ran in the last wave with mum, and must have lost 5 minutes weaving through the hoards of walkers from this wave and the wave infront. Good atmosphere though, but wouldn't pay £30 to do it again! Unaffiliated 57:30 57:50 1:10:00 1:03:40 46.68
M62 Santa Dissapointed. Drank to much juice before the race, was not prepared for heat, started too fast and got a stitch in Old Trafford. First race for 14 years though! Unaffiliated 40:43 48:20 52:00 51:34 51.37

My poor knees... Just happy that I made it through. No preparation at all and it showed in the last 1k and for the following week: that will teach me!! First run since my ACL reconstruction to my left knee in November '06. Unaffiliated 49:47 51:22 51:22 51.57

now andyk2708 DO NOT BET ON ME. Struggling to regain fitness, after injury and picking up a chest infection (again). Haven't done any serious running since the Marathon on the 01st April and the 10k in Dublin a fortnight later was a nightmare. Not looking forward to this... **UPDATE*** Pleased with this run, had to stop at 5k to use my inhaler, but I expected this, as my cardio level is quite poor, due to lack of training. No pain in the legs, for the first time since Feb!! Happy days.. Unaffiliated 46:06 51:24 52:12 51.49
Obigone 2nd year for this one and I'm hoping for a P.B.! Last year was really difficult due to dodging the vast numbers of runners who insisted on starting at the front, only to find themselves walking after 1km!!!**UPDATE** Happy to break my P.B. here. Once again the start was very congested with the resulting dodging about! Weather was a big let down with showers and overcast conditions promised, only to turn out clear skies and bright(hot!) sunshine! Actually I felt good all the way round and if the weather wasn't so hot I would have PB'd even better! Stockport Harriers & AC 40:21 43:37 46:00 45:07 64.76
ozzie2920 So Fed up am getting slower however down to pulling a calf 2 weeks before the event and not being right on the day !!! ( any excuse ) Thats why I revamped my membership here to get motivated again . Only did 19 miles training in the last 4 weeks so theres your answer Unaffiliated 56:53 1:01:51 1:00:00 1:06:39 42.43
PamB Quite pleased. 2km marker was in wrong place though, so thought my pace was better than in was. Would have liked a faster time, but pleased to have just got round, really. Unaffiliated 59:50 1:02:04 1:06:20 44.89
