2010 Woodhall Spa 10K
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: OK - No major gripes
In full: Definite PB potential so long as you don't start too near the back. I missed mine due to be completely unfit but really with perfect weather and a flat course this should have been nailed on.
Agree t-shirts are a bit naff but can't understand moans about parking - seemed no problem to me.
Marshalls supportive around course but no other support and roads weren't completely traffic free.
I'll be back next year for a definite PB !

In short: The people of Lincoln turned out in force
In full: This was my first time at Lincoln and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was flat and definite PB potential though I missed mine by 20secs.Nice atmosphere around the course and excellent through the castle area though those cobbles are a bit wearing after 9 1/2km !
Will definitely be back next year

2009 Leeds Abbey Dash 10k

In short: Flat but unispring course but worth it for PB
In full: Main problem at start was shortage of loos. 20 minutes before start there were still half a dozen on the back of a truck.
Access to start area was fine though relied on runners honesty to place themself in right area. Course flat and there must have been plenty of PB's. I beat mine by 3 1/2 minutes (although to be fair I've only done 3 !)

2009 BUPA Great North Run
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In full: First half marathon I have done since Sheffield 1989 and I thought it was fantastic. I agree with another poster about the BUPA boost at about 10 miles - perhaps they should have one of those sections every mile or so.
The best bit though for me was hearing my wife screaming encouragement at me about 400m from the line - god knows why but it brought a tear to me eye. On top of all that I raised about £1500 for Alzheimers. What a day !
