Weโ€™d like to wish everyone taking part in the Great North Run good luck, including our five favourite runners!

Thereโ€™s no rest for the wicked as Coach Leafy, Alex Browell, Emma Dixon and Coach JC are all swapping the ball hockey kit for running trainers, โ€œfreshโ€ from our win and draw at yesterdayโ€™s season opening Tier 2 games.

Lisa Eden is also going to be bounding her way towards South Shields!

If youโ€™re one of the +60,000 runners, or just lining the streets to cheer, make sure to get loud for them!
