I was hoping to run it in 1:15:00 and I did it in 1:07:57. Raised only £150 for Hull Homeless Community Project
but well done Ben on your amount ... staggering! As it was my first 10k, I dedicated it to my late Dad on Fathers Day. Had it inscripted on the medal

Congratulations Lincs. An excellent time in that heat.

Just got home & set about replenishing fluids.

I thought you'd already started that in the pub? I went down to Total Fitness and swam a mile - the pool was lovely - and then 20 minutes in the freezing cold plunge pool for the legs. Marvellous...mind you I could have drunk the pool <laugh><laugh>

One of the players Mums ran it this morning - I think her time was around the hour mark. She said the heat was stifling.

It was pretty warm to be running that was for sure. Lovely alongside the Humber on the way to the Marina! Around the houses on Victoria Dock/Citadel area, some folks put up sprinklers to run through... lovely! First ever 10k for me, and what a pleasure in our great city!

Well done one and all who made the effort, survived and did their bit for their chosen charity.

If you're still running, strolling or crawling to or from the pub...brilliant...

Well done SCB and Lincs.

I've just started to get into running but at the minute I can't get passed 4km without near collapse. I'll get to 10k eventually.

I'd like to do one of those Wolf Runs, has anyone on here done one? It's like a 10k but has obstacle courses in it.

Somebody told me that it's best not to stop if you're knackered (unless you've completely finished that is...). So run, then if you're knackered walk a bit then start running again and so on. I think it works.

Pfft easy, we used to do them all the time in the RAF.

Wait, I mean I photographed someone doing them.

Thinking about it, it mighta been pongos and not RAF lads.

Still looked easy.

Even with smoke grenades going off.

Did 3 Great North Runs a few years ago. Began training by running between lamp posts on Priory Rd then walking to the next one. Ended up doing my first one in 1h47m can't remember the seconds.
