Chromey May 2012 11:23am, 31 May 2012 12,814 posts	Quote Pin Chromey It's not really a trail race is it? Isn't it mostly canal? How do people's road 10k times differ? Is it flat? Dunno why I'm doing it really :-\

360° May 2012 11:25am, 31 May 2012 1,827 posts	Quote Pin 360° I'd add a minimum of 2 minutes to a flat 10k time of 40mins. If you know what I mean.
Puddington May 2012 11:26am, 31 May 2012 47,515 posts	Quote Pin Puddington It starts up a road (hill), goes down through woods (swallow flies) goes onto the canal for 20 miles, out on to the road for about 11 seconds, round a field, where they tease you with the finish line but make you run away from it. I am well away form my PB on it usually, I think.

SimonF May 2012 11:28am, 31 May 2012 38 posts	Quote Pin SimonF 360 is exactly right. There's a hill (on road) approx between 2 and 3K and then a long descent where you can make the time up, but then a bit of footpath before the canal. Once you get to the canal you don't care how it compares to a road 10K as you just want it to end.
