My Mock Brighton Marathon!

[Deleted User X18H]

I did 17 miles of the course today meant to be 20 but I have a bastard of a cold and a hacking cough.

Preston Park Avenue is a beast of a first hill I haven't walked up or down there for years although freewheeling down Preston Drove is a good first breather.

Its is then flat till North Road and if I got it right you turn down Spring Gardens and on to New Road which is all flat of course.

St James Street is not too bad it is a steady climb to Marine Crescent.

The worst bit will be running by Marine Gate that is a deceptively steep hill and of course it undulates along by Roedean. I didn't go out to Ovingdean but another tough bit is the climb to St Dunstans and along past Rottingdean pitch and putt although I found Marine Gate steeper.

I turned round at Nevill Road by the Windmill as I think you do a U turn there
once you get back to Roedean all the opposite climbs are done with then you freewheel down Dukes Mound. The only surprise is that Grand Avenue is on a bit of a gradient.

I ran along Church Road cut down and on to Western Esplanade and then back along the prom if we are running along the prom next to the Lagoon I hope they sweep the shingle away.

I got back to Grand Avenue and had a bit of a coughing fit and called it a day.

If any other Marathon runners had posted this then the thread would turn into a good bit of advise swapping anf conversation about the course from other posters also running it, but because Hb&b sarted it its all of a sudden a 'Look at me' thread!

Leave off him!

Because most threads usually have at least one question or somebody asking for advice etc!

And because he could have joined in the thread just a dozen or so down doing exactly that.

Many thanks to Ali and Scotty.

Anyone that can dedicate the time and dicipline to train and attempt to run a marathon is cool with me!

Nail on Head.


Starting a new thread when there were others already dedicated to the subject is what is normal with H&BB, Tim attempted to big himself up in another look at me thread.

How many posters on here who do not visit the Brighton marathon threads did NOT know he was running the Brighton Marathon?
Now, how many other posters do you know that are running it ?

The majority of them keep it to the dedicated threads, But not HB&B, he needs to make sure everyone on NSC knows about it by starting a new one. Hey look at me, FFS

I suspect that the real problem was that he posted his own thread just moments after being obnoxious in Lush's "house swap" thread.

I was vaguely interested in what he had to say here in truth, but he's reaping what he sowed. And anyway, as others have said, why not simply add it to one of the other 2 or 3 long standing marathon threads?
