Has anyone done this before? If so - have you got a Garmin or Fetch record of the route, so I could have a look at the elevation profile? Or failing that - how hilly is it?

If you know the Nottingham Uni campus you will have an idea of the hills - not particularly steep or long but not what you would want in a 10km. Aside from that quite a pleasant route. I will try and find my Garmin file.

Revbarbarag Jul 2013 5:12pm, 3 Jul 2013 244 posts	0 Revbarbarag Thanks, Becca - it looks like they have moved the finish slightly, but otherwise it's the same. 143m of ascent, as against 108m in the one and only 10K I've done previously.... but that was on trails, so hopefully the fact this is on road will compensate. TiaS - anyone who does a 10K a week after any marathon deserves respect <bows> This does perhaps mean that the 7 minute PB improvement I was hoping for might be a little ambitious.....

Revbarbarag Jul 2013 6:56pm, 4 Jul 2013 248 posts	0 Revbarbarag Oh, I'm going - I've paid and got my number!!! I'm not good at running faster downhill, though, so I won't necessarily gain as much as I could on the downhills. I was convinced I had 65 minutes in the bag, now I'm not so sure.... Sometimes I need to remind myself that I'm not trying to get into the Olympics, so the time targets I set myself are just figures I've come up with so I've got something to focus on..... not life or death matters
