Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Notes & Comments

This year's Great North Run was a carbon copy of last year's. I started brightly and got to the mile marker in 7:14, maintaning a steady pace to get to 5k in 23:06. I had a bad patch between 3 and 5 miles but speeded up towards the 10k point, reaching it in 47:22.

I struggled up the hill after the 8 mile roundabout and a strangely warm and sunny interlude followed, where I was grateful for the showers. I reached 10 miles in 1:17:23. The hill going up to the 11 mile marker was painful as ever and it looked as though my chance of a PB had gone by the time I reached the sea front.

I pushed harder than ever before and I had around 40 seconds to complete the last 200 metres. I could barely stand after crossing the line, but I got the time. By one second.
Please wait... saving your change.
