    Great video! I watched a few of your videos leading up to the GNR for tips and advice, including your recent long run podcast, very helpful! I saw you and overtook you just before the Heworth roundabout and said 'nice one on your RUclips channel' and you said something like 'cheers, go on son'! It was my 1st GNR, my 2nd HM and I finished it in 1.41.18, a 4 minute PB! Can't wait to do it again next year!

    It was an odd first time for me no doubt. Will do it again at some point hopefully with a more party atmosphere at the start line. Got home this evening and quads are still not happy with me for throwing the hammer down from the Marsden! Had to get under 1:40 somehow and made it with 5 seconds to spare in the end!

    I’ve done over 30 GNRs and the baggage buses all down the road worked just fine in all past runnings. The move to Exhibition Park was a total shambles. Too narrow to enter park and too narrow to get out again. People were still trying to get into their pens 20+ minutes after mass start. Experiment failed, put it back how it was for next year. Still a fantastic race though!
