I will be attempting to run a lap of the circuit on Friday probably fairly early 9am-ish. I have 3 people lined up to join me, this is a very informal run and all are welcome whatever your ability just remember its 8.5 miles and can get warm on the tarmac.

Last year I ran with a few people from here and guys from TL, and we managed to get around the track no problem by jumping some barriers across the track. Maybe we won't be able to this year, but it is worth a try.

We will be doing the same at 9:30 from outside the TL site inside Terre Rouge. Not sure how many will be there, but I will be. So join me if you fancy it.

I will be running Thursday, not Friday.
I find the circuit too busy on Friday and to be honest, there's too much going on Friday and by then my body will have become too alcohol soaked.
I might still be running on Friday anyway, depends on whether I've got back from my Thursday run!

I was planning on Thursday as well, too much alcohol related dehydration on Friday!

I may go on the Thursday if I can (a) get back before the BM AGM and (b) up my training from the poor 3ml current run in time. We'll see. Any advice? How do you deal with the closed road bits like the Porsche curves through to TR?

Closed roads have never been an issue on foot. We just run around the barriers and have never been challenged.

I do a 9 min mile on a reasonable distance. Nice and slow.
