Bupa Great Yorkshire Run

Matt

I did the Bupa Great Yorkshire Run on Sunday. It's the 4th year that I've done it.

My training plan really paid off, as I was training for a 41:35 finish time, and I managed to get 40:16 official time, and finished 92nd out of over 3,500 people!

These are some of the official photos I bought:

and the video from the finish line

Thanks mate. Only 3 weeks until I've got my next half marathon race as well :confused: Need to get a couple of long runs in before then, as the longest run I've done since July has been 13KM with me only training for the 10KM race.

That's a good time Matt. I'm looking at the Hastings half marathon next March but expect no quicker than 1.45.00. I will be running it with my mum who's 64 and done all 30 of them but reckon I'll be slowing her up, lol....

Thanks Dave. I've just started a training plan for next years Silverstone Half Marathon in March. Aiming for a 1:26 finish time for that one, based on my 5 and 10 km time.

That's great about your Mom, and one of the things I love about running....you are never too old to do it.

She's doing the seven sisters marathon on the south coast in a couple of weeks time. Not bad for an oldie, lol. That's massive hilly and almost always blowing a gale, so time is the main Factor on that one - just completing the course..... 🙂

I've not done a marathon yet. I've out my name down for the pre-entry for York next October.

Thanks Si. I'm really pleased with my time. Last year I did the same course in 46 minutes, so the specific training plan worked.
