Training has been iffy mainly due to my marriage breaking down! But hey ho, back in to it now and have managed a couple of 10 mile training runs recently. Not confident of getting anywhere near my PB but hope to be around 85min mark.
With regards to parking the last 2 years i have parked along the road near the 5 mile marker - there is normally plenty of spaces and is easy to get out of at the end. Also have parked in the town before which is ok but a bit of a trek getting back there at the end.
