jemson   10 #62 Posted April 25, 2017 Well done croat. I was a bit slower than I expected felt really hot on way back 1.54.  Have to say I found it hard on the way back this year might be the heat or not enough training or a bit of both.  Great support thanks everyone.  Ditto. and 1.53!

Fudbeer   12 #63 Posted April 26, 2017 Still a good time mate.  Both my sisters said they felt it this year too.  Looking back think I went to fast in first half so not enough left to really go for it down the hills never mind.

Guest   #64 Posted May 14, 2017 Did the Leeds half marathon in 1:50 today. It was alright, there's some hills, but, comparing to Sheffield hills, it's not worth mentioning. Crowd and support was ok, but, I must admit, and I don't want to offend anyone, that Sheffield had much more people supporting​ runners during the route than Leeds. Also, crowd in Sheffield is more passionate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jemson   10 #65 Posted May 15, 2017 Good effort. I did Leeds a few years back. Last weekend I did the North Lincs HM which is a race that I`d really recommend. I followed pacers for the first time ever and did 1.46 so better than my Sheffield effort but a long way off PB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Fudbeer   12 #66 Posted May 16, 2017 Well done.  Was thinking about Leeds but agree the last time I did it felt it was so much poorer overall than Sheffield that the cost and hassle really are not worth it so had a nice 10 mile run round Burbage instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jemson   10 #67 Posted May 18, 2017 I`m considering doing Buxton HM next weekend. It is one of the toughest but great value and lovely scenery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Waldo   96 #68 Posted May 18, 2017 I`m considering doing Buxton HM next weekend. It is one of the toughest but great value and lovely scenery.  Already entered.  A fantastic route and a total bargain too, at only 12 quids (plus you get a t-shirt if you enter in advance).

jemson   10 #69 Posted May 19, 2017 Already entered.  A fantastic route and a total bargain too, at only 12 quids (plus you get a t-shirt if you enter in advance).  It is. I`ll decide this weekend. Other plan might be more focus on the Round but also considering the 3 Lakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #70 Posted May 19, 2017 I got in Newcastle Great North Run. I heard lots of good things about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Waldo   96 #71 Posted May 19, 2017 It is. I`ll decide this weekend. Other plan might be more focus on the Round but also considering the 3 Lakes.  3 lakes? Do you mean Ladybower, Derwent and Howden reservoirs? If so, a very nice place for a run, enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
1978 Â Â 14 #72 Posted May 19, 2017 I got in Newcastle Great North Run. I heard lots of good things about it. Â Big drawback is that with 40,000+ taking part you can get held back by congestion if wanting a fast time, and that applies to all but those at the very front of the field. Big plus is the fantastic atmosphere making it a great experience for most participants. With about 4000 taking 3 hours or more it's still busy even for the slowest runners, or even the fast walkers! Â It can take a long time to get out of South Shields. Avoid the Metro. The shuttle buses are a better option. If leaving a car at South Shields park away from the coast or you'll take ages to get away. It's worth walking a bit further.
