482 miles so far in 2019 for me, but that's well up on previous years, reflecting my recent retirement from full-time work and my anxiety about not screwing up the London marathon.....

I find the RW race predictor far too pessimistic: all my recent half marathons are in the 1:43 to 1:46 range, but my only marathon (when I didn’t really know what I was doing), which I ran in the middle of that clutch of halves, was 3:51. So I think there’s a lot more individual variability than...

Well you could go for the Brighton 10k (ex Brooks 10k) in November https://thebrighton10k.com And then sign up for RunBrighton winter season, which is specifically targeted at people aiming for Brighton half and Brighton marathon - good value, very sociable Sunday long runs, for runners of all...

Yes, great running BenElton'sBrother . I'm only looking at my AG performance these days, and not expecting to improve that at all, at least until after London marathon. Thanks for asking, Knocky. I think it's ok - I took a stupid tumble on a broken paving stone while jogging down to the Prom...

Good running! I slip further down the table.... I see that Emily P has even tweeted about your achievement https://twitter.com/SportsMassageEP/status/1104322491915350016

I concur with all the comments about the wind - did a 16 miler out and back today, partly on the undercliff (Marina to Saltdean), and partly off-road (Telscombe Tye, yellow-brick road, South Downs Way). One of the hardest runs I've ever run - into the wind (whether on the flat or on hills) it...

I notice that the club statement from Birmingham says: "What happened has no place in football or society. Jack is a Birmingham lad and regardless of club allegiance should not have been subjected to this - there are no excuses." The implication seems to be that if he'd come from somewhere other...

On the positive side the special train is at 3:26, which suggests that we’re not going to be held back for ages as per usual, but rather marched straight to Norwood Junction after the match. Once at Norwood junction you can get whatever train you want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry - good cause, but I’ll be in the Algarve for a week of warm weather marathon training in build up to London .... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same here, but not quite early enough to do the South Norwood PR.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That must have been quite spectacular. Where do you sit in the stadium?

Hilly, muddy, windy, wet 17 miler for me this morning - Ovingdean to (nearly) Ditchling Beacon via Woodingdean, and Falmer (and back). Sometimes I love those kinds of run, but it was really horrible out there, and my legs are still a bit shot from last week's effort in the Brighton half. That's...

Best running start to a year so far for me, with 289 miles run in January and February, and two PBs (5k and HM). Since I retired from full-time work last October, my running has definitely been one area of my life that has hugely benefited (along with my ability to get to away games). It's also...

Great day at the half today. Missed knocky1 at the peace statue, but by that point I was focused just on keeping going. Lovely weather, good atmosphere, and a PB for the NSC table for me (only by 45 seconds, but I'm still happy with that): 1:43:12 please, when you get a mo, knocky

Agreed - I felt for him at first, especially after him running so well, until he started getting arsey and arguing the toss, and it became clear that he hadn't bothered to go to the first timers' briefing before the run, when the course is explained really clearly.

Volunteered on tokens duty at Preston Park PR (resting for HM tomorrow). The bloke in second place, who would have been on for a decent time of about 17:15, just kept going past entrance to the finish on the last lap and did another half a lap (despite people shouting at him). He then came back...

Yes, the 74 one was a beautiful sunny day (in my memory anyway...) and the support included Bad Company, Lou Read, Humble Pie and Maggie Bell
