I only did my first 10k two weeks ago in 51 mins. Yay! I looked at a predicted 10 mile time from my 10k time (90 mins ish) and checked against last years results. Should be firmly mid field I think so not too much embarassment. Last place last year was over 2.5 hours.
Although it is uphill - FOR THE FIRST FOUR MILES!!! Make sure you include some hill work!
Does this sound about right?
Should I or should I not enter??
There is also the added bonus of lunch at suzyqs' if she is not at work. Must check that before entering.

got down to 48mins on my last 10k so were see how I do....
Not so this year so will be filling out the form tonight.
I'm also doing this as part of my GNR training. Had a look at the results from last year and don't think I'll come last (!) but it's my first truly hilly race so I am a little nervous!!
Same here Kate we have been doing some hilly 10 mile runs in training but still probably nothing like the hills over those first 4 miles in Chesterfield.
Just have to take it easy at first and then try and make up time from 5 miles onwards.
I am not really trying for a good time in this one just happy to get round as if we can do this then we will be ready for the GNR.
Thanks Phillip - that's made me feel a bit better! That was my thinking -- if I get round this, the GNR should be ok.
See you Sunday!

I too am using this as a training run for the GNR. I will be taking it slowly and enjoying the views. Look out for me at the back!
