Great North Run

I am 43 yrs old and work for the RAC as a patrol 'man in a van' I played rugby up till the age of 40 but then it was taking a bit too long to recover so that was that. I always kept pretty fit and mixed gym and running most of the time. I finally got a place in the London marathon this year, after years of trying, and found it a fantastic journey, very hard work but so worthwhile in the end. As for GNR, first thing I've ever won, and training is going fine, even though Mike Parry (talkSPORT Presenter) said I was a bit of a salad dodger when I spoke to him on Talksport !!! See you on the 30th mike. The runners training pack has come in really useful the recovery drink works for me really well.
