In short: Excellent run and they even held the start back due to the amount of traffic delaying runners !
In full: Quite tough due to the hill. Walkers in the front section blocked the road but it was a good day out !

In short: Tough one to run as lots of walkers in the front section of the field. Good cause though.
In full: Considerered tough because of long initial hill but fairly easy after that - mostly downhill or flat to the end.

In short: Too tough for PB and fed up with lack of crowd support for cold Edinburghers - i am going to Glasgow they know the meaning of crowd support!!
