Edinburgh 10K -

[scooterscot]

Does the Edinburgh 10k not go up the mound?

Only down it! It's going up towards Arthur's seat that bothers me...

When is it? I'm supposed to be doing the one in Bellahoustoun Park in June (I think) but I've neither registered or started training. If the Edinburgh one was later in the year I might be able to dither for another couple of months before doing anything.

3rd of May - plenty of time.

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.

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).

51 minutes at the moment but that's indoors on the treadmill...

I think 10K in 'about an hour' is perfectly respectable.

Ah you'll be fine then. You won't do it that fast on the road but you're likely to be faster than me.

One of my friends did the Glasgow one in 40 minutes and a few seconds. He was gutted because he wanted to do sub-40 but he's still a freak as far as I'm concerned.

Thats not bad for a hilly route, Bunk. Nothing to be ashamed of there.
