Very few hills, the most notable at the start, so an excellent opportunity for a PB. Try and nail down that pacing early on and keep it consistent. Dig deep when it gets tough.
I’m putting full trust in my pace sheet here which is suggesting on current form somewhere around the 2:10 mark would be an excellent time here. I think the most important thing in a race like this is not to go off too fast. It’s so easily down in the crowds. Ideally your last 3 miles will be quicker than your first 3. Plus you also want to have a little bit in reserve to kick on at the end. But I think confidence should be high coming into this. You’ve done way more than the distance at Pier to Pier and you’ve been running much faster at track. I think you’re all set for a really strong and enjoyable race. Best of luck Sue. Go and smash it.
