Joe

- Constantly talks about how fit he was when he was 19, he is now 29.

- Beaten by Digby in the 2019 Brighton Half Marathon, Joe cared.

Digby

- Beat Joe in the 2019 Brighton Half Marathon, Digby didn’t care.

Will

- Threw up during his first ParkRun.

- Probs won’t train much, will probs win.

Sybil

- Got herself from a 5K to Half Marathon within a month during lockdown.

- Don’t expect the same commitment from her now.

- Might be hungover on the day.

Freya

- Keeps hurting her knee and not being able to walk because she can’t be bothered to stretch – will she make it on the day or hobble away?

Daisy

- Fresh on the running scene

- "It’s only 4 x 5K’s and a bit" - positivity or naive?

- "but I planned to look chic" ... naive.
