20 miles banked today and will now taper down over the next couple of weeks. After my crisis of confidence a fortnight ago feel much happier today as all went to plan and now have real belief I can finish the BM on 2 feet and hopefully sub 4. My training plan said I should run for 3 hours the...
The Hastings 4 did nsc proud today. In great conditions and cheered on by fantastic crowd St Leonard's Seagull lead us home in 1:37 closely followed by Simgull 1:38 and Knocky only a minute behind at 1:39. I bought us home in 1:40 and we be grinning till Wednesday as never thought I would break...
Ha ha, ok if I don't hear anything different I'll look for you at the car park patch. I'll be wearing a green top, black shorts and Asics trainers. If that goes wrong I'll be near a 1:45 pacer at the start if they have one. Isn't the first 5 uphill? Your making it sound easy
Pleased you manage to shake that off in time. Hopefully jesus put Knocky right and sim gull can make the grid.
I only have to limit my beer intake at MK Dons and all will be well. I'm also looking forward to this one, heard good things about Hastings.
Can't believe you've been knocked off too. Can we put a new rule in nothing uploaded after 3pm is counted on Sunday's?
I think you and I are on about the same level and I've watched your times get better and better. Im following a training plan but do try to mix it up a bit as not keen on...
Thanks, maybe I'm expecting too much but I have no experience at this distance and keep expecting my long runs to start feeling more comfortable. My training plan gives me the next 3 days off and red wine is already easing my fears.
Got to say marathon running is brutal and I under estimated...
Ran 18 miles in 3 hours today. I was getting ready when @guiness boy uploaded his morning run and went out to go one better and cement my top 3 strava position. Don't know why but just couldn't get going, thought I'd done everything right and perfect conditions so no excuses. Ended up taking a...
I enjoyed it. Conditions were near perfect with barely any wind in glorious sunshine. I found the start a bit frustrating as it took me 6 minutes to get out of the park due to the park gate bottleneck but otherwise thought it all well organised and supported. Didn't mind the harbour twists and...
I've not done it before but looking at the course you and knocky are right looks pretty flat after an early climb. I got really pleased for everyone doing pb's at Brighton last week and wanted to continue the trend but I'm just not ready for that so I'm going to use it as a training run and...
Yes I'm having a go. Weather looks good and expecting a good turn out. I need to break all my pb's in order to make lunch with my 85 year old mother. Total lack of preparation though so thinking of letting mother take my place as she would be far quicker.
Congratulations to all who ran BHM some great times and good to see so many pb's. I'm going to have to be content with Eastbourne HM on Sunday as away till Friday. Everyone has set the bar high but if I come in under 1:50 I'll be happy.
Ha, I'll never work for MI6. It's funny trying to figure out who is who on strava, I reckon I've got about 30% you being one. The real question is who is sim gull AKA sim gull
Some impressive running today. Well done to all those who ran Worthing, the weather was fairly decent apart from the wind. I ran just shy of 20 miles today which is a bit ahead of my training plan for brighton marathon but I'm away next week for a fortnight and wanted to get a long run in...
