    General Election predictions

    I sadly think the Tories will gain seats in Scotland. My prediction is a Tory majority of 1, May to resign , Corbyn to resign, Boris to become PM and Brighton to win the Premier League!

    Sunday I did the very enjoyable Horsham 10k for the third year running. Not a flat course so I was delighted to get a new PB of 51.01 (previous PB was 51.06 and previous Horsham PB was 54.28) so delighted with how it went. Lindfield cross country on Bank Holiday Monday then my next attempt at...

    I have the perfect build of a beer drinker :-) My favourite distance is a HM, long enough not to be sprinting, short enough not to be thinking "WTF how many miles to go!". My PBs are 51.06 10k, 1.53 for a short HM at Brighton and 4.28 Marathon. I have no idea how they relate to each other in...

    If anyone fancies a good old traditional 10k cross country run, then I can recommend the Lindfield village run on Monday 29th May. Great fun and a great but hilly route (few styles and occasionally fields full of bewildered cows!) http://www.kingedwardhall.org.uk/village-run/ I am doing it...

    It has definitely helped me, pint on me when I next see you! Managed 12 miles on Sunday @ 10.27 so not far off my marathon pace, it was nice to be back out on a longish run. Now up to 332 miles for the year, have set myself a target of 1,000 miles. I sat glued to the VLM after my run, usual...

    The Phoenix 10k is excellent and definitely a good NSC meet up event. I am aiming fir sub 50 this year (51.06 current PB). However I am now on the injury list after my two marathons in 21 days. My right knee has decided to fall apart, I cant straighten it without getting shooting pains...

    Same - I have signed up for that again. I plan to steward next years Brighton Marathon , but MAY look at Edinburgh or Manchester marathons next April. Anyone done either of them? I have been told Manchester is very flat and that Edinburgh is a really good weekend (like Brighton)

    Paul Whelch RIP

    I have known Paul for a long time, enjoyed many a pint with him, usually in a pub near the staton at some northern town after an Albion defeat in the dark old days. He was a true hero in the battle to save our club. He was always there to do the litter patrol after the Withdean games as...
