Great North Run

Hello. I am looking for some help. I started training for the Great North Run and have just over 3 1/2 weeks to go. I only started training 12 days ago and am looking for some tips on getting faster as quickly as possible. I have been running since 1986 when I did my first Great North Run but never really train for it. Last year I trained for approx 1 month and did 1 hour 22. I want to beat that time but can't think how I got that fast so quickly Thanks

Jamie you have 4 weeks left so dont try and cram too much in at last minute, excellent time for little training, do you live in the North East?? I might be able to help
.
Yes I am in Jarrow . The problem I have it due to having 2 small kids and working around 60 hours a week, I can only train when my wife isn't at work. Which leaves me about 7 hours a day to get training and sleep. I have to run either after midnight or get up at about 3am depending on what shifts I am on.

I dont think Jamie Lyall realises what a talented athlete he is
A lot of it is in your mind, you have to just push yourself
A little bit of training helps, even if it's just loosening your muscles off the day before lol
