Great North Run
Congratulations, YP. That's a brilliant time for the GNR, considering those hills and especially all that traffic. It's just like running down the street with the entire crowd of St James' Park for company. Except even busier.

If you can do 2:02 in Newcastle, then you will surely crack 2 hours by some distance at your very next attempt.

Although agreeing with many of the criticisms which are made of the race, it is certainly a great event, with a unique atmosphere. I guess you have to take the positives out of every run, and the GNR is one of the most famous in the world. For sheer scale, emotion and celebration it is surely hard to beat.

Well run, and well done for running it.
