i enjoyed GNR at the weekend, i was so nervous had been having panic attacks and sleepless night for weeks prior to the actual day, i would thoroughly recommend to anyone sitting on the fence and worrying about taking part in a large organised run - GO FOR IT.

I've now signed up for Liverpool HM in May next year and bought the 3 year offer for GNR guaranteed place for next 3 years.

Ankle injury easing up slightly, no running for me till Monday night, but i'm hooked.

Oh wow you must have really enjoyed it Piglet! 👏👍😀 Good for you taking a few days out to let your ankle recover, but you’ll be back up and running next week! 😀

I’m really wishing I could have entered the Bristol HM which is this Sunday, but I couldn’t (plus I haven’t even run a HM yet!). I’ve entered the Bath Half in March and I can’t wait! 👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I like this Post :)

It shows how we are all jittery as heck before our first dip into an organised Event - and how it actually transpires we don't need to worry!

A three year contract taken out after it says it all when it comes to how much fun they are :)

"Real World" example par excellence! :)
