The Bupa Great Manchester Run

Giles Smith running for it!

Well I did the run, only doing it in a pretty poor 54 minutes. The main problem was there just wasn’t enough room for anyone at the beginning, it was far too crowded! So I had to run the second half in around 20 minutes or I would have taken longer than an hour!

Anyway had a great day, loads of us from UKFast.net ran and most of us finished under and hour.

Running, Not Riding and the Great Run

January 16th, 2008 by Giles Smith

What have I done? I just signed up for the Great Run and wheras I can quite happily ride my bike for miles until I get bored, the last time I ran anywhere was when I did the cross country at secondary school. Er that was about 11 years ago as well!!

I put on my entry form that I could do it in under 50 minutes, so if I keep going at about 7.5 mph I should be fine. Now to a biker that sounds really slow but anyway I guess I will find out on the day!
