Hi well done on finishing your first race, you shouldnt really complain about your finishing time as its your first race,the good thing is you now have a time to beat in your next 10km,now thats when it gets harder!!! good luck with your running. Andy.
At least its an up the road and back run so i canmaybe try hard to beat todays time,although its not a like for like course it will make me feel better if i beat todays time !!!!
Great effort well done you done the hard part by doing your first 10k I have done three races now after running 12 months and made mistakes in all but keep working at it ( goiing off 2 fast to getting stuck behind fun runners)but now i have got my 10k time to 45.23mins and going to break that this year.(hopefully)try mapping a 10k route you can run and go back to it once a month to test yourself but then leave it alone for a few weeks, and try to intro some speed work but you have got plenty of time to nov im sure if you keep consistant you will smash a PB enjoy what you achieved and keep smilingpaul
well done, i live in leeds and have seen how windy it is today you did well, the abbey dash is good but again has a lot of people, i did the harewood house 10k last year which is a really good race
My first time as a 10k er too, was a little scared this morning and have to say, and shouldn't have had that curry last night........... however did it in 1hr 4 mins which I thought was okay for a novice.
Thought it was really well organised, but would have been better to have markers every 1K..
.Does anyone knw who the band waz playing on Meanwood Road?
Well done Vix. That's a good time. Really wasn't the best conditions for a good time today.
Ordinarily I wouldn't have spent so much money or travelled so far for a 10k but this was one race I had to do and, getting drenched yesterday and nightmare journey home apart, I'm so glad I did it. Admit to being a right wuss and having a bit of a blub at the start.
Thanx for support it was really welcome. Think I'll do a bit more training before entering anything else.
I have to confess that Jane really was the reason I made the effort to get my running shoes on, she was so inspiring, I guessed that if she could do so much in her condition, I should do my bit too!!
Managed to raise £615 for Martin House in process, so pretty chuffed.
My feet are now throbing like hell,but it was worth every ache and pain.
Janes daughter Rebecca was 7th lady btw - just behind Nell Mc apparently -so some of her mums determination must have rubbed off - well done her on what must have an emotional day for the family
Thx Jaggy... Thinking about Harewood House in September...may have got the bug!
Janes daughter did so well, agree Buney bet they shed a few tears today, but they must all be so proud of what she achieved, it's great that they continue her legacy in such a positive way.
The Abbey Dash is a similar type course to run4all, its pretty flat and a out of the centre back in type of course with just a turn in the road and then back down the other side. Its not as busy though and the start has a better flow to it. I actually had to run/walk that but went all the way round yesterday without stopping and still did a slower time, hmm....so yeah its probably a faster course too.

Cheers PH
I am pleased it went to plan as such,
I just wish i could have got a better time but realistically there were too many people about.
But wow what an atmosphere,wouldnt of missed it for the world !!
well, now that you have done your first, you can look for a smaller club 10k
and you have a pb-it is a pb as you havent done 10k before
Yeah , think i may wimp out of proper runs and do the mass produced fun runs ,as i am not
that serious about running,other than its excersise and it stops me from drinking loads and being
a couch potato.....thinking the Leeds Abbey Dash in November (10k) ?

Can't see a new thread for this. Is there much change to the course since 08? Is it a fast one?
