#100 will be Jerusalem
#101 Brighton (all being well)

I did the Berlin half a few years ago, but not done the marathon - a good shout.

Love Beachy - done it a number of times.As for the Velothon - not for me!

Good plan.........and I'm not sure about the velothon either, but it's quite local and my coach thinks it'll be a good test (he is doing it as well, although somewhat quicker than me). There is a home game that day, so will need to pull my finger out...........

Bad Ash: 1 - Brighton 2016

Did Brighton this year and giving it a another bash. Have barely run since April, but am doing a half (Swindon) in a couple of weeks, hopefully that'll kick start the training.

Exciting......where will #100 be ? Was Berlin today, how about that for Autumn ? PB course apparently.....

Beachy Head next up for me in Oct, then Velothon in Nov (maybe a PB attempt, going to be boring otherwise !)

Haha.. Round and round and round and round... x72.... I'm gonna end up on the ground in sweaty dizzy mess way before anything gets boring! See you at Beachy!

Mellor 3 Ward 4 · Sep 28, 2015

Did London in 2009

I won't be do another one.

Bermondseygull · Sep 28, 2015

Bermondseygull: 1 - South Downs 2015

Next one is Beachy Head, and hoping to get a number for Brighton next year when the ballot reopens. Think I'm going to enjoy this thread!

That South Downs one is fantastic.........shame it's clashed with other events for me the last couple of years, I love it.

Think of the positives - car will be a 2 min walk away, and there will be an aid station every 500 yards. On the minus side, I know the are at least a couple of serious runners using it as a PB attempt, so I am going to get lapped multiple times [emoji3]

BrianWade4 · Sep 28, 2015

Got Amsterdam in 3 weeks. Anyone else doing it?

Did it last year as well..... Fabulous

Haha so my race strategy will be simply to resist scoffing at the party table. I can see the scene now.. 90 or so people in sweaty lycra tucking in to the mini scotch eggs, whilst the speedsters do their stuff..grreat!

Cracking time, well done......it's too flat, I don't like it much !

Pembury · Oct 4, 2015

Gave me tunnel vision! Made quite me dizzy when stopped briefly at the check points later on. Tbh was too flat for me. A couple of bumps, which i wouldnt even call them that, felt like mountains.. Ill be wishing for a bit flat midway through the 7 b*tchs in 3 weeks time though..im very sure!

I know what you mean. I did the first one a couple if years ago, felt like several hours in a tree-lined tunnel !
