Great North 10k 2024 [] England Masters Qualification Race [] Did I Do Enough For England Selection?

The Great North 10k was the latest qualifying race for the England Masters 10k team for 2025.
We had never raced in Newcastle before so were looking forward to this event. Despite not having the best of runs, could Dawn do enough to earn another England call-up?

Nice time Dawn 👍. Cannot say I’d like that course. Bit all over the place really especially the stones section near the end 🙈

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. Yes, the stones section wasn't my favourite bit...

[@Runningonthemind]

Great video guys and well done, fingers crossed for the qualification 👍

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks 👍 😊

[@PoetWithPace]

Well done Dawn and great filming John! I’m sure you have that Masters place in the bag Dawn and great to meet you both again 🎉

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes would be nice to know as it's early bird discount until Monday.
I hardly noticed I was running with all the lovely things to distract me when filming. Great to meet you again 😀

[@path2running]

Great work Dawn!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you 👍 😊

[@garydover2680]

Great video, good luck with qualifying, did no see any age category numbers on the back of any runners😮

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. There were a few with back numbers. 🙂

Grandstand and Down Under Men at Work number 1 very early 1983 Great running See you both at Dereham 5k next month

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes an essential fixture on our calendar. 12th time of running it I think.

[@Marc-hy8sc]

Fingers crossed for your qualification, great to see my home town on one of your vids.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. Some lovely city features and enjoyed Tyne Bridge. 😁

[@TheFODRunner]

Good job Dawn, fingers crossed you get that spot! That finish didnt look appealing with all those stones!!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you! The finish could do with being changed... Not good in Alphaflys 😅

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Top effort. Always hard to peak for a one of race. Good running 👌

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. I've raced a lot recently so probably just a bit tired.

[@RunThePlanet]

Fantastic 😀 enjoyed that video !! and thanks for putting me in the vlog. Once again great to meet you both 😃 on and off track. You know more about the history of newcastle than me 😂

[@tworunningbrooms]

John doesn't go anywhere without knowing some history of the place. 😁

[@markg99]

I was going to say Grandstand 😊 Saw in the comments that it was. Good effort, Dawn. Pity the legs didn't fully comply this time.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. Yes, Grandstand, it was.

[@davidmclucas2970]

Well done Dawn, 2nd tune was land down under by men at work. Australia's unofficial national anthem. Correct me if i'm wrong

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. No correction because you're right. 😅

[@Stevenc1984]

I've increased my number of races this year and realised it's almost impossible to run well every race. Congratulations on grinding it out and hitting an even split!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes, you're right. I've raced a lot recently so feeling a bit tired.

[@leesahscottage663]

❤❤❤

[@tworunningbrooms]

👍

[@samsonslaphead1]

Great effort Dawn! When will you know for definite that you've qualified & where will that race be in 2025?

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks. Normally, get an email a few weeks after the race. 🙂

[@tworunningbrooms]

The race next year is the same one... 😁

[@gokiwi2642]

Good running Dawn, did ya find out if you had done enough to make 3rd in the age group to make it into the England masters? Probably having John running along filming your every move could be a bit nerve racking, your fault John haha just joking, 😃good luck keep on keeping on ✌️👊🏼🏃🏽‍♂️✅👣🥳🌲

[@tworunningbrooms]

Haha, thanks. Not nerve racking with the camera. I just ignore it. 😁 Will be a few weeks before official confirmation.

[@hoppodonc]

Well done guys. Was the theme tune Grandstand by any chance ? 😉

[@hoppodonc]

Followed by Men at Work. 😅

[@tworunningbrooms]

Spot on 😉

[@tworunningbrooms]

You win a vegemite sandwich.

[@briantimson1397]

I come from a land down under. London originally 😂

[@doingmybest6438]

I give up with the theme tune...

[@tworunningbrooms]

Grandstand

[@steventownley3342]
