2,600ish took part, quite a chilly start, difficult trying to keep warm before start, well organised, apart from no toilet roll in the ladies loo at the leisure centre. Good banter and plenty of encouragement from others during race. Got shin splints at 2km's, eventually settled in at around 5km, sprinted in to finish in approx 72 mins, enjoyed the run and felt I could have carried on. Only real complaint where was the orange juice at 5km and at the end, why do they advertise they are going to supply it then don't, in future I will take my own regardless .

Are the shin splints a common occurrence
All the results are now posted on joelee.co.uk - some photos too.
i am getting better but would love to run under 42.00.i never seem to feel strong and get a second wind,could anyone give tips on food to eat before a race etc
My official time was 57.22 - Though it took so long to actually get started I think it was closer to 56 mins (can't be sure of this cos I accidently pressed 'stop' instead of 'lap' on my watch - 1st time I'd used it !!)
Will you be running Walton in December??
Go to merseyventure.com - I think it'll be a 5K but I've seen it advertised as a 5M too. They were giving out forms at Garston. I'm also doing the 5M at Hale on the 15th December.
Yeah I heard the Hale race is a good one to do, hence...
Have you heard about the Wheelton Through the Villages Race? Apparently it's 8 miles and 700 yards??? A friend says they were giving out forms at Garston but I didn't get one - Any idea.
Also do you do the Seaside runs, are they on the Wirral? So many questions?
