I will start my blog soon but I was in Russia for the three group games and it was absolutely fantatstic. Very friendly locals, great welcome, great atmosphere , one big party really! I visited Moscow, Volgograd, Nizchy Novgorod, St Petersburg and Kaliningrad (and a day in Gdansk on the way...

Thats the last time I am being your pace runner! Saying that I couldnt keep up with you on Sunday in Worthing!!! Think the Phoenix 10k is probably the best quality race I have run in.

Was waiting to book as its around WC semi final time, but decided England wont make it that far so have booked up.

I enjoyed Sunday. Tested my legs post marathons at Park Run on Saturday at Tilgate Park with a leisurely 27 minutes. Yesterday I decided to give it a go and came in at 49.12 just 18 seconds off a PB. Had nothing left in my legs and still shaking off the ends of a cold so mentally decided at...

Morning all. Just about recovered from my Edinburgh weekend. I came in in 4.32.01 so my fastest marathon of my 3 in 6 weeks (Brighton 4.32.54 & London 5.05.43). I really struggled on Sunday, massively hit the wall at about 18 miles and had to run walk between 18-22 and stopping to stretch as...

I was rather pleased with my Park Run PB on Saturday. With the Edinburgh marathon coming up this weekend it was totally unexpected. I was careful not to push too hard but felt good all the way along. My mile times were 7.47, 7.52 and 7.42 so happy with that. My first aim was over 60%...

Always amazed to see what a good set of runners we have on this thread. I am happy to plod around towards the back, luckily the only goal I set is to beat my own PBs! I will be aiming for a Marathon PB in Edinburgh. I think it has taken until this week for me to recover from Brighton/London...

The BBC employing women, disgraceful! Next thing you will be telling me they are paying them as well. A sad day for the nations broadcaster.

Afternoon all. I loved the Mid Sussex Marathon Event. Saturday was the most enjoyable day and a great 10 mile trail run in East Grinstead (towards Weir Wood Reservoir). It was muddy, very muddy, very very very muddy in places and hilly! I dont do much off road running but loved it, I was...

I am doing Edinburgh and also Loch Ness 23rd September. Looking forward to Edinburgh now that I have recovered from the Brighton/London combo (I notice they are two weeks apart next year as Easter Sunday falls between them). I am in the London ballot, not doing Brighton at the moment (may...

Sunday, well what can I say. I had an absolutely brilliant weekend. Met up with some running mates at the expo and had a good day, we then went to Canary Wharf for some food and and chill out. I headed back to my hotel and we all hoped for a dramatic change in the weather. So 6am Sunday...

Had two of these installed in my gym a few months ago. They take a while to get used to , I felt like I was going to ping myself over the front rail the first time I "ran" on one. It takes a while to get the resistance level right, its easy to make it too easy or too hard. They really make you...

I had a brilliant day on Sunday. Finished in 4.32.54 so a new Brighton PB, no overall PB (4.28), but still my second fastest marathon. My post run massage courtesy of the Martlets Hospice was so so welcome, as was the drinks, chocolates, crisps and other goodies. Felling pretty good this...

I did my first run since Thursday 29th March. I think 10 days of no running is the longest I have done for a few years now, but I had to give my back recovery time. Yesterday I set off with a bit of intrepidation, I took the first couple of miles very slowly and gradually increased my pace...

I saw Ray Wilkins with Shilton/Case/Lawrenson at the Theatre Royal in Brighton talking about all things football just a few days ago (19th March) and he looked in fine health. Totally shocked by this. It was an excellent evening with Wilkings telling many great stories about his time at...

Struggling with a bad back at the moment. Did my last long run on Thursday of 21 miles. Due to my back I am doing very little over the next few days. I have done 350 miles since 1.1.2018 so have the miles behind me, so think rest the best option at the moment. It feels much better today, but...

This is very very spooky! This will be Brighton marathon number 4 for me. I did this in 2011 (5.46), 2015 (5.14) amd 2017 (4.34). It will be my 7th Marathon in total and I am aiming to try and stay with the 4.15 pace runner this time. My current PB is 4.28. This is my first of 3...

I am hoping for a snow free run on Sunday. Did 21 miles last Sunday and was planning the same this week so that I can get used to 2 long runs in 7 days so as to match the Brighton and London marathons on the 15th and 22nd April. I am doing a fun raising quiz at the Caxton in Brighton on...

Mine HM PB needs to be updated to 1.48.59 - not sure how I do it myself!

Morning all. One very happy runner here. I finally dipped under 1.50 and my official time was 1.48.59 https://www.strava.com/activities/1425257621 The weather, despite the cold, was OK, not as bad as I expected, but the last three miles home were hard work as I knew my PB was on so pushed...
