I signed up for the HM on Tuesday and picked my number up this morning..
Did a fast(ish) 5km last night and felt cramping in my calves this morning so I don’t feel like I’m in good shape for a fast one.. my plan is to run on feel and enjoy not being soaked through and blown to bits.
Best of luck with the Marathon.. I reckon the atmosphere will be great again, don’t forget that I warned you about Pool Bank.
In which case.. I’d suggest to your friend coming in via Meanwood road from Leeds city centre and finding some on-street parking on/around Grove Lane… short walk to Headingley and I ‘think’ these roads stay open throughout.
I’m contemplating the Leeds HM after a brutally wet and windy Boston (UK) Marathon yesterday. My second ever marathon and a big PB but my pacing and HR charts tell the story of a painful slog .. Strava says 5m elevation over 42km so definitely a fast course when you don’t have to wade through water and battle headwinds.
