| Comment | Done it a couple of times, no hills to speak of. Only bits to watch out for are just after the start where the SECC carpark verges on ankle-breaking trail running, and not seeing the testicle-level bollards on the Portland bridge until it's too late
Also, being a men's event, watch out for a) 90% of the participants setting off at a pace to rival Mo Farah before keeling over a mile in - know your pace and stick to it irrespective of what everyone else around you is doing - and b) prodigious levels of phlegm flying around and on you from folk who were clearly sent there by their GP, haven't trained, and are suffering from acute respiratory distress
It's a fun morning, enjoy |
