Great North Run

Posted by Iain Morrison on August 26, 2019 at 2:13pm in Meetings

Afternoon ABN. Sharing my picture at the start line for the Aberdeen run yesterday. Completed the half marathon in 2h 6mins - chuffed with the time for it being my first half marathon but today feeling it, the legs are stiff!lol. Did anyone else run? if so any top tips for dealing with the stifness?

Well done Iain! I was just three minutes in front of you. It was a real struggle in the heat this year.

As for the stiffness, a nice soak in the bath and some magnesium gel should help for next time if you're stiff after it. I went out with my running club on the Tuesday after and ended up doing 7 miles as I miscalculated the route a bit ;-) A short run can actually help the legs a bit though.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to say well done :) now in to Thursday and can safely say I didn't warm down properly as the legs are still in agony! LOL

Well done mate! What was first tune on the playlist? That "one" that just gets you pumped! Born to run?

  Thanks mate! First tune on the playlist was "right here, right now" Fatboy Slim. followed by some heavy metal to keep the energy levels nice and high

Well done, mate! I pulled round in a 1:53 (ish) - that heat!

Cracking job getting it done and a fellow Charlie House runner, too.
