I'm taking part on my first every run this may and was wondering if anyone is doing anything similar or has any tips. X

    How is your training going so far?

    The best advice I have is to not do anything new on race day! Wear what you've always worn, eat what you always eat etc etc

    How far do you currently run?

    Main tip would be to enjoy it.

    Are you doing the 10k or the HM? Whichever it is, have fun. Don't start too fast, and definitely follow TT's advice about not doing anything new on race day.

    Ha! I had to look it up as I will be in the Uk in a couple of months.
    (Originally from Manchester now living in Canada.)
    Unfortunately I will be down south on the date it is run, get up north about the 2/3 June.
    If I could change plans to get there a couple of days earlier I would.

    I am doing the Vancouver sun run 10km at the end of this month.

    Cheers, h.

    My main advice would be to enter a trail race afterwards :)
