So who are the NSC Brighton Marathon runners?

[Mr Blobby]

I am doing both! Out for a 6 mile run tonight ready for Sunday.

 

[gullshark]

Am doing the half and full marathon too. I think I'll take a break from it all next year.

 

[Smythe]

Brightoin will be my first marathon and probably my last. Only ever done one half marathon before. Done my longest training run of 17 miles on Monday...god knows where im gonna find another 9 miles from!!!!

I know exactly how you feel, but the hope I get is from people telling me the atmosphere on the day gives you that extra lift, so fingers crossed it gets us both through!

It really does. Just make sure you can manage 20 miles about three weeks before the run. And to be honest, you will be OK if you're running 17 miles in mid Feb.

I can't do the race in 2011, but will be back in 2012.

I'm running Sunday, Eastbourne half on 6th March and the BIG one. Have a case of shin splints at the moment, so having to rest.

They say the crowd give you about an extra 6 miles, so you're well on track

I'm running on Sunday and if i survive that I will be starting to focus on the big one. It will also be my first marathon and like a number of you have said already it is hard to imagine where that last 10 miles of energy is going to come from. It might take some seriously strong energy bars to supplement the extra boost a cheering crowd may give me. For physios in Brighton and Hove a local marathon must be like hitting the jackpot!

That's more or less where I am, give or take. Done runs of 8 and 11 miles so far this week, will do another fairly short one on Friday and then a long one, by my standards (!), hopefully 17 or 18 miles on Monday.

I'm running for Help For Heroes, in case anyone is feeling generous Vicki Lank

 

[Bedsex]

I'm running the marathon too, will be my 2nd one after running London last year. Had a few weeks out with an ankle injury, but did 14 last weekend and doing 16 this Sunday, so almost back on target. Like some others on here, shinsplints seem to be starting, but nothing too uncomfortable at this stage.

 

[sully]

I'm in for the Brighton marathon. I'll be trying to do more than a half marathon distance this Sunday, but on my own round Camborne and Redruth!

Hoping to knock an hour (at least) off last year's time and raise plenty of money for the charity I am a trustee of, which is in remembrance of Fourteenth Eye's brother.

Me too, I'm running Brighton Marathon, and then London the week later.

16 miles for me this weekend. Decided not to do the Brighton half this year, but off to Malta next weekend to do their HM.

Am planning of joining up with the Brighton Marathon training group run this weekend. Will be nice to have a bit of company.

Good call, the Sunday Brighton Marathon bunch are a very nice group to run with.

in the big race again this year, last year was amazing

 

[Lord Bamber]

Last year's race was amazing, really excellent.

This year's should be as good if not better.

Good luck everyone.

do you just turn up at Preston Park and join them or do you have to register first? what time?

 

[beardy gull]

I need to reply to your email but I am oficially out of April 10, heal spur and shin splints have totally done me. I think the guy in Run has sold me the wrong kind of shoes because I've never had these problems before. Hmph.

I was very impressed with Kurt at Run in Hove. Checked out my old shoes, videoed my running style and sent me round the block 3 times with 2 pairs - 3rd time with one of each. Having said that I'll probably get injured tonight!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I didn't mean the one in Hove, I meant the one in Kemptown- can't remember the name. Whoops. Yeah, that's where I'll go next time when I start running again after these injuries!

Can't edit my post now either, sorry Run!

I think you have to register first, I have.

This Sundays run actually starts down in Shoreham, at the Adur Activity Centre
