What a great race! Great weather...glad I didn't go with the gloves and extra layers.

I felt like this course was more downhill than up..apart from mile 11-12, a real bar steward!

One little moan...more/firmer support over those cattle grids next time please...not good.

Will definitely be back next year.

Have made the transition to mid foot over the last 12 months and I love the way my feet now feel stronger. I was suffering with tendonitis and plantar fasciitus (apologies for spelling), but now distant memories. Occasional shin pain and tight calves means I'm constantly trying to improve technique.  Low profile running shoes (Kinvaras in my case) certainly help. I just can't run anymore in heavy high heelers which feel like lead weights. So take the plunge and work on it.

If you're still logging on here and still running and are still after the results (unlikely after 7 years) I think i have the Stockport 1983 results somewhere, which I ran when I was 17.
