And so it had arrived. The biggest day in the North East running calendar. The race that for so many people is their equivalent of the Olympic Games. So much training, so many nerves, so much fundraising, and seemingly endless banter on social media websites. Everything that goes before the Great North Run makes the build-up to the event just as special as the actual day itself. It is such a momentous occasion for so many people, for so many different reasons, and just walking around the start area beforehand leaves you in no doubt as to the enormity of the whole event.
