Hey kids! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My Internet at home is not working. Anyway, I managed to complete the GNR in 2hrs 26mins 54s. Personally I think this is okay. To be honest, would have liked to be nearer the 2hr mark though. What do people think about this time given my current fitness? Remember I only started running three weeks ago. I managed to run the first 10km in 1hr 05min 25s which is only 1min 05s slower then the 10km I did two weeks earlier. Also I felt I could keep on running after the 10km mark this time then compared to the previous 10km when I was absolutely shattered. The initially 10km was consistent as I was very weary of starting too fast. After this run I’m absolutely certain that I can easily run a sub 60min in the next few weeks. The other thing of note is that the last 5km of the GNR I ran/walked in about 45mins compared to the first in 30mins. This isn’t too surprising given my low fitness level at the moment. Finally, it’s unfortunate that I wasn’t 8 places higher up as I could then reasonably have claimed to have been in the top 50% of all runners. I finished in 27,008th place  Currently looking forward to the Nottingham Survival of the Fittest in October and looking for a 10km in next couple of weeks to prove that I can run a 10km in sub 1hr. PS: Weight now 77kg. Meaning a BMI of 27.6. Slowly losing weight  Chris |
