154 Rob Started at the back and did much more than 13.1 miles as you have to zig-zag around fancy-dressers & unfit people. A mass run isn't the place to work on PBs ...its gotty be seen as a festival day. Go for a good time and enjoy the day out!

B I wasn't actually racing this one - just using it as a long training run - sio I was pretty happy with this time. (Especialy as I stopped for a leisurely loo stop!)

B Rubble Great race but I was terribly prepared. Sore throat, upset stomach and 2hrs sleep. Would have pulled out if I hadn't travelled so far to get there. But the race had a great atmosphere, friendly people and fantastic supporters. Bit of dodging around but the number of people make this the race that it is.

Bazza Ran all way with our big un, he had done no training and had a heavy cold so needed to make sure he got round in one piece. Took around 20 mins off last years time, maybe sub 2 hours next year.

beders hamstring went before the 2 mile mark, jog hobbled the next 3 miles then gradually managed to speed up to finish just outside 2 hours. Actually felt more satisfaction from this one than any of my other GNR's, will be aiming for a lot better time next year.

Bettsy A great weekend as usual, but they've really got to do something about the start. Perhaps have one carriageway for club runners, the other for fun runners ?

BigG Managed to get through the crowds quite easily and despite not feeling too good in the couple of days before the race I had a great race and knocked 1 min 30 secs off my PB. Great atmosphere which more than made up for the scenery Newcastle, Gateshead and South Shields have to offer.

biru Started really far back in the field.... much of the race was a bit like an obstacle course, but what a fantastic atmosphere. The spectators, band, drummers, red arrows etc really get you going! Felt great until about the last mile of the race when I hit the wall!!

cathrobinson Really enjoyed it, but there was really heavy people traffic as I started from the back, so never got into a rhythm. The organisation is excellent, so I think it's a great first HM to do! Looking forward to beating this PB!

Cormorant It is a great race, if a bit like trying to run in Harrod's sale - you're weaving in, out and away all the time - and with an eccentric baggage system. Great support - is it true some Geordie said as 50,000 people ran past him 'There must be a job in South Shields'? It was fantastic to catch sight of the sea and know that you were near the finish; it was less fantastic trying to get back - it took longer being driven back from South Shields to Newcastle than it had to run from Newcastle to South Shields. I felt OK, though I hadn't really trained properly and felt the pens had more or less worked. I'd love to do this event again.

ellew My best race ever. I ran all the way, didn't stop and never felt so strong. Thanks Zoe for my introduction to carbo gels!! Didn't hit 2hr target but didn't cross the start line for 33 mins which meant I was constantly dodging and weaving,so now think 2hrs is definitely possible. 11 mins faster than last half-marathon. Support from the crowds was fantastic - having my name on my vest made such a difference. Loved the atmosphere and loved running with 4 fellow fetchies for the first bit of the race. Must start nearer the front next time.

GAZGIB As last year the sun came out and took its toll on me and others. After the year I've had with injury I was looking for 2 hours but was happy to treat it as a training run for New York and came in at 2:09. Although its dissapointing to be a massive half an hour off my best it was nice to finish feeling fresh and have no aches or pains. Was sorry to hear about the fatality but runners should remeber that the UK daily death rate is 1.37 per 50,000. SO KEEP ON RUNNING.

gray Arriving late - not advisable as you have to start from the back - the leaders had passed halfway before I got to the start line! However, this meant I was running along the front at S/S with the Red Arrows performing overhead, so it was well worth the wait. I see Motty beat me again by a matter of seconds but there's always next year..... Suggestions on how to make a quickish getaway after the race would be most welcome.....once again, however, a great weekend.....

Grey Badger A great event but i had a terrible run. Suffering from the flu for the last 2 days and had a start number of 23246(i put 1hr 25m on my entry) so it was just imposssible to get moving, even by mile 6 and 7 i was still trying to dodge round runners in front of me. The crowds were wonderfull and the wife saw me on tv so not all bad.

Hollywoof! Hollywood's GNR report... Hotel on Saturday night was interesting... classy kind of joint... remind me to check next time I book a hotel that it doesn't run a needle exchange. Race on Sunday was rather well organised :-) 10 minute delay to the start wasn't a nice surprise when we were already trapped inside the assembly barriers... could see a few peeps were desparate for a pee but there was no way out. Being in red start was nice for me - just 35 seconds from the gun to me crossing the start line was a nice surprise. Shiraz back in the second green pen had somewhat more of a battle though... First mile felt slow but was still sub-8 - the organisers did put a few charity and celeb runners up in front of everyone else which was a tad daft really. Stuffed up the photo opportunity on the Tyne bridge - sadly I was about a minute and a half ahead of the red arrows... I maybe should of hung around to get in the picture with them... Then the race was more up and down than I'd really expected... and the weather was gawgeous - definitely unexpected. Got through half way in about 47 minutes. Perfect. Spotted some kids having fun throwing bottles of water at peeps just after one of the water stations... got myself a full 500ml bottle... got within 50 cm of one of them... and supersoaked the little lovely's face... really really satisfying :o) (but probably makes me a big bully) Just before eight miles, K9 sped up alongside me, said hello, then only 7 days after her Berlin marathon she zoomed off ahead - I briefly tried to catch her, but there was no way I was keeping up and she was off. Sorry I couldn't make more conversation! (And more of a race of it too!) Between 9 and 10 miles my right knee went. I kind of knew it was coming. Had deliberately taken two weeks off to give it a chance, but clearly Almere is still with me... Shame as I went through mile 10 in 1:12:07 which meant I was in the hunt for a PB... Miles 11 and 12 were hard - had plenty in my lungs and heart but every right leg landing was painful. Tried all sorts of compensation strategies with my left leg but I think they generally made it worse... Knew from Almere and from recent training runs that stopping and walking would mean I wouldn't be able to restart... Sorely tempted by the Hash Harriers refereshment station - offering

Jenson Felt like horse manure. I take back what I was saying about it not being very hilly (which it isn't really) but it just seemed like stupidly hard work. Ha. As a 'fun runner' I was expecting shits and giggles!! ; ) Coloured starts = great idea being penned in with no chance to have a wee = bad idea Had a 4 min wait (how can it take people sooo long) for first portaloos and was chasing to pick up time from then on. Love the red arrows (my geekness grows). Seriously querying if Cumbrian HM is a good idea. Then again, my stupidity knows no bounds.

Karate Chop Slower than predicted but much more rewarding. It was the race of my life. I ran all the way round without stopping or having to walk. Im very proud of myself indeed. Started off with ellew, hev, ZoeW and with a kiss from rich1974. 5 Fetchees all in one place. I started at a good pace and kept it up with a very strong confident sprint finish at the end. Once again, the event had a brilliant atmosphere. Newcastle is a very friendly place indeed.

Should have stuck to race plan may have come in under 2 however i felt so good at 8 (73 mins) carried on pushing 10 (91 mins) found 10-11 very hard but crowd pulled me through the last LONG MILE Raised over £600 for Alzheimers in memory of my Grandad, tears in my eyes when red arrows flew over at the end as he used to take me to see them as a kid, Cheers matey!

Miss Sweden My previous PB in this race wass 02:18 so I was absolutely chuffed with my time today. In fact I finished feeling quite strong and know I could have done even better if I had just been brave enough to push on a little earlier. It was extremely difficult trying to do the last mile along the seafront and I didn't get up the head of steam I was aiming for!

neems I am taking a wild guess at my time for this one, being my first half marathon I don't really know what to expect. I think I may be a little over this though due to the crowds and my inexperience at pacing at such a long distance. I'm just going to enjoy it though! UPDATE: Am thrilled to have got so near my target time!! I enjoyed every second of this, even when it started to hurt like hell between miles 10 and 11. I think this could be the start of a half-marathon addiction...

Northern Exile My third Great North Run and the only time I've had a ballot entry. Felt good to be free of the burden of a charity place, particularly after my negative experience with one well-known charity the year before. Enjoyed the race, but Newcastle is a bit chavvy and I hated all the brats hurling bottles at the runners. I vowed not to come back in 2007 and sure enough I gave it a miss. Felt better for it, it might be a big race but it's a bit overrated and a shite course.

oldbirdhead Without a doubt the hardest half marathon course I have ever done...it felt like the whole course was uphill!! Was not very well prepared for this having not been able to train as much and having very little sleep due to 12 week old son teething! Great atmosphere though

Pegg Aimed for 2hrs 40 and tried to run to the splits on the pace band. First mile was quicker (9:40) then settled to between 10:15 and 11:15 each mile which was ahead of the targets. Thought halfway through I could maybe do it in 2hr 30 or thereabouts. Worried about when it would start to hurt but kept going steadily. Lost H at 8miles but carried on. 2:21something on the watch 400m from end so sprinted to the finish. Can't believe I knocked 32 mins off last years time!

RichMallaber Started the race with a kiss from the grafter, then went off for the first few miles with ellew. My first GNR & for some reason I was expected it to open up at some point, it never did, so I must strat further forward next time, as I'm sure I could have gone under 2 hrs. All the same it was a great day & brilliant atmosphere - I'd definatley do it again.

Rob After my disappointing run last year I was determined to try and beat 02:00:00. Following a 10Km time of around 00:50 I could have posted a much better time had I not had real problems from about mile 8-9 upwards. No matter how much you expect it, it always seems to be mostly uphill for the second half. As always felt I should have done better but at least I improved my PB by about 17 mins and I am at least satisfied.

Rubberman Started at the front of greens and had no trouble at start, in fact went off too fast (as usual). Great fun as first attempt for GNR, smashing atmosphere, long queue for Metro after helps you to steady down afterwards. 2 mins of PB for HM so well happy with result.

Running Beard Sad news about the fatality - 29 years old accoring to the BBC site. I knocked 9 mins off my PB so was pleased although disappointed that I faded in the last couple of miles - it took forever to get to the 800 to go on the Coast Road and then that last 800 went on and on and on...........

As usual it's always busy and difficult to find space to run in the first few miles but so what, crowds and fellow runners were 'great'. And raised 750quid for charity too. Role on next year. Pleased with time, but oh so close to Sub1.30 ... next time!

shoeless Want to go sub 2:45... much training needs to be done...! :/ UPDATE: Never going to happen. Having had much trouble with ITB over last couple of weeks, training (and morale) has dwindled and this will never be speedy - even for me. But, hey - I'm just going to enjoy it - I'm going to be so chuffed to complete this distance at all, I rather say 'hang the speed'... :) POST RACE: well well well – I did it!! My first Half!! And I feel great!! well, a bit sore, but great. Hip blew up at mile ten, but I did first ten miles in 2:10, which is great for me, and although I walked (or should that be hobbled?) the last three miles, I still came in so close to my revised target of 3 hrs. Happy bunny. And, more importantly, determined to beast this race next year. I loved it!!

tramps Ran for ASTHMA UK this year. 11 min improvement on last year's GNR, but a minute or so outside a half-marathon PB. Sorry to the 6 people who bet on me. Fantastic race. The Tyneside crowds were outstanding. 'High-fived' 100+ kids and received alot of attention for my vivid green wig. It was an honour to be part of this event. 3 mins faster and I would have made it into the top 1000. Sounds like a challenge for 2007. Despite the hanging around, delays, congestion, traffic jams, runners in the wrong pens etc, this is truly a magnificent event. I didn't even notice the hills or that we were running on a dual carriageway. If you don't take it too seriously, are laid back about the logistics and get into the party spirit, then you cannot fail to be overwhelmed by the Great North Run.

Treacle So chuffed! Got way under my target time of 2.30 - wahey! Felt fab till about 8 miles - was on track for a 2.15 at half way, but those second half hills really start to take their toll! Second half was about 7 mins slower than the first, but felt really strong at the end and still had a bit in the tank, which was great news for future runs (didn't want to overdo it in my first half mara and risk burning out or not finishing). Beat both my best friend and hubby, both of whom are in theory faster than me, so well pleased!
