Jus T - I hope the PF clears up quickly for you. Must be a nightmare having to deal with that.
Dannirr - Looks like a stunning place to run.
I can safely say that I never get up at KOC, particularly to go running. I'm thinking of doing the Killearn 10km next month, now that I've blown away the cobwebs at Dunlop. It's sort of a trail route, but looks more forest path than proper trail.
The only thing to keep an eye on near the finish at Amsterdam is the tram lines, which can be slippy underfoot if you run over them, particularly around the last water station.
The course is completely flat other than a small underpass at 38km.
I tend to be less focused with my running if I have no training plan or no event I'm training for, but I still get out and run.
I'm actually enjoying the lack of training plan to follow just now. The last few years have been complete one plan, a couple of weeks break and then jump straight into the next training plan. I'm enjoying deciding what I'd like to do run/bike etc for once, rather than thinking I need to run x tonight.
KS - Well done on completing the half. I know how badly things can go if you are unwell and attempt to run. I made that mistake at a half a few years ago and ended up walking the final few miles feeling like hell for my slowest ever half.
You went with the female finisher's basket of goodies as well as the female finisher?? Goodness me, that's a lot of energy after knocking out a 10k....
