You only have to be reasonably fit to do 10k. It's less than an hours running. Unless you are looking at sub 45 minute times that is.Comment

I did it a few years ago. It's quite a hilly run and if it's the same route as I did then the part that goes past Arthurs Seat is a bit of a killer. I was dying by the time I got to Pollock Halls. Having said all this, I'm very unfit and did no training for it and I still finished it (albeit in about an hour, which is bordering on walking speed).Comment
