Boab Had a half decent run tonight considering the weekend and niggles.  Dunno position, would be nice to make top 20 and get a cash prize, but will have to wait and see final results.  Picked up about 10 places and lost two in the final mile.  Happy enough, legs left a wee bit tired, probably from Marathon. Unaffiliated 31:24 31:24 31:24 80.79

Robsta Just gannin canny been back a week from a long achilles injury it's a game of cat n mouse between me and it! 47 might be a bit hopeful but we'll see.
All things considered pleased with time given the amount of training, eased up a little because achilles tightened but only very slight ly and held til the end so Im really upbeat about that, fitness levels not great but at least I can work on that now, well done everyone.

Nadders (aka monsenb1) Felt a bit sluggish, ran an easy first mile, but still made my target time of 50 mins so quite pleased. The sun wasnt shining but conditions were good for running...nice to meet the fetchies before and after the race. Time is now official. Bramhall Runners 43:09 49:45 54:00 49:45 50.78

Screeners Am over the moon with this time, did not think I could run this fast.  I was at work until 6 and then straight to Biggmarket from work, toilets then race so I didn't really have time to worry about the race or sit about and get sluggish.  Felt strong, overtook throughout (I started in second wave), started struggling a bit from the bridge and feeling heavy legged but my old running coach was just behind me and every time I started slowing down, she started shouting at me and telling me to get a move on.  Which is just what I needed.  Last mile or so was tough going as my legs felt very jelly-ish but finished with a sprint and a smile.  Am very happy. Elswick Harriers 51:55 51:55 51:55 55.50

Miss Sweden I'll be running this 9 days after the Edinburgh marathon, so I won't be setting the world on fire :) I did it in 51 mins last year so anything around the 55 mark would be good.

Ended up running this with a newby friend, her first race. So took it really slowly, which was great for my legs. I also really enjoyed this run, being able to just run with no pressure :) North Shields Polytechnic AC 50:45 1:08:28 55:00 1:08:28 41.61
