Great attitude mate, just enjoy it this year and appreciate how you've overcome the setback you've had....use GNR to kick on and make 2020 the best year yet!
Above all else this is THE EVENT to just enjoy. its not about speed, its not about money, its not even about PB's. It just about bringing people together to experience just how powerful, friendly and Joyous the North East is. Great North Run …..The one race you fall in love with
It is my first GNR this year and I have the same aim as you- just to go along, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy it. Your story is inspirational and your resilience is incredible- have the best day and see you at the finish line :)
@@ARunnersRamble No worries! We had a fantastic day and managed to get to the finish line in one piece :D The only bit that wasn't that great was that horrible downhill bit at mile 12, but we knew to look out for that because of your videos! We hope you guys had an amazing day too. Hopefully see you at GNR 2020 :D
@@vikkiballard1363 Ahhh glad you got round okay! It is a bugger of a hill mind but the views at the end are unreal! So happy the videos heled and I may see you in 2020!
I bet you have the best time this year & you’ll be able to soak it all in more. Smile & high five! I’ve done it the last 2 & would keep doing it but my knees are not up to it at all. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your tuff times, it will be my first GNR this year, are you doing the Gateshead half on Easter Sunday ? My first half marathon cannot wait
May I join you in the lows of running, 4 marathons last year and 2000 miles (my most ever) to 3 cancelled marathons this year (DNS), all paid for and unable to run with my old friends....
@@ARunnersRamble It was comforting to read someone in a similar boat (switching off strava etc). I am convinced I just did too much last year and it's my bodys way of saying rest but it's surprisingly difficult to deal with.
Man I needed this! First GNR this year, lets do it!!!
You're going to love it! Good luck!
this came on my youtube in 2022...my 7th year! cant wait! great video!

2018 proved this and I'm sure this year will be the same again but even better! Hope your knees are okay!
