jdarun Apr 2018 6:59pm, 6 Apr 2018 2,688 posts	0 jdarun Salford Quays is ideal for walking to start, I've had very adequate meals at the italian there and also frankie and benny's - but they may well be stuffed with runners, I'd recommend booking if at all possible. This time I've got an airbnb in Chorlton, just marginally further away in the opposite direction (closer to the finish!), and a table booked at (supposedly) the best pizza in manchester

katypie Apr 2018 8:05pm, 6 Apr 2018 5,719 posts	0 katypie Nothing is free for dinner until 9pm. Why am I so disorganised 🙈 Frankie and Bennies don’t take bookings so that may be ok
jdarun Apr 2018 9:20pm, 6 Apr 2018 2,693 posts	0 jdarun Must be a policy change, I booked there a couple of years ago and enjoyed swanning past the huge queue of suspiciously thin trainer-wearing people

KinkyS Apr 2018 10:37pm, 6 Apr 2018 17,545 posts	0 KinkyS I have dinner, bed and breakfast at the parents' place, and taxi service to the race too It helps to be semi-native! I've done a 12 mile training run. That's enough, yes?

Bella italia gave us a table when we walked in Off the street 😂 I struggled with my wee head today. Just constant doubt and negativity. but I stayed on top of it and got a PB 😄 3.53.57. Yay.
