Brooks Brighton 10 K

[Ringmer Seagull]

Any other NSCers running this on Sunday ?. Should be a good crowd - all 3,000 places have gone. I have`nt done this race for a while but from memory its flat and very fast - can be a bit challenging if its windy as well.

 

[cardboard]

I have a number but im not allowed to run

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Yep I am running!!

 

[Oscar]

Me too.

Hoping the weather will be like today and not like the high winds and rain forecast for tomorrow and Thursday.

 

[gullshark]

Yup, am running it too! I *really* hate running down the seafront if it's pissing down and blowing a gale.

My mate has offered me his place, considering it. Whats the weather going to be like?

As someone who has not done a 10K for over 13 years and is signed up for the marathon - it seemed a long old way. I was aiming for a 60 minute time - and ran out of gas at the end so finished on 1.5 minutes over. It is going to take a lot of work to got to the start of the marathon in reasonable condition .................... but the conditions were ideal today, overcast, no wind. Saw the History Man - respect for a 47 minute time ...............

And just signed up for the Hastings half marathon .............. it has got to be done.

Steyning Stinger would be a good warm up for your Marathon as well.

I walked the full marathon course one year in the build-up to the Easter Monday walking race. It is a great route - but blooming hard work .............

 

[Steve Foster]

I run/walk the steyning stinger marathon every year as a training run for my Spring fast marathon.
Definitely helps!

Cracking time mate, top effort!!

 

[Oscar]

My first 10k too. Did it in 51 mins. Quite pleased with that but the half marathon and marathon seem even more daunting now.

 

[chimneys]

41:35. Beat my PB (same race last year) by 2:40 so happy with that.

Dont reckon you are going to get a quicker course particularly as the weather was pretty perfect.

Who was the chap with the Skint training top on (gave you a "Come on you Super Seagull" cheer just after the Brighton Centre on the home run)!

Respect. I also did a few half-marathons more than 10 years ago - and they were a long way.

If you are doing 51 minutes now - you are on course for a respectable time.

I am planning on being a bit fitter come March. Injuries permitting.

That may have been me. If it was the blue one.

Respect for your time.

It was blue. Recall you had a beard/goaty and think you were with a lady? If it was you, you arent old enough to be Dick Knight's Mumm (unless that's his champagne vintage!).

My only advice re marathon training is little and often, with 4 or 5 18-20 milers in the 6 weeks before the big one.
