Well done. I just ran the Three Forts Half in 1:56.
Needed those 4 feed stations too.

Enjoy the rest.

What's the next one?

Good time.....

Well done to everyone who ran a Marathon in April (or for some of us bonkers runners 2 marathons in April!). Don't forget Marathon's are NOT just for April. There are marathons & ultra events the whole year in the UK. Let us know when your next Marathon/Ultra event is. Please also let me know if the below standings are correct. I have based the standings as per the 100 Marathon Club definition i.e. if you enter a marathon or a race that is further in distance (you have to finish it for the standing to count), unless it is a lapped event (where you have ran at least the marathon distance.

It's for fun. No prizes. Just camaraderie & encouragement to each other:

Number 15 today. Three forts. Next Croydon 30. Tempted to run in full Albion kit to make me run faster! (Prob not a good idea!) Or it might be Lunatic marathon if theres any places left..

oldham gull · May 1, 2016

Marathon number 2 tomorrow morning (bank hol mon) at Milton Keynes. Had no idea I'd be missing such a big game when I signed up for this one!

Good luck with it, it's meant to be nice and flat! I'm thinking about running it next year.

My next one is going to be Bexhill in a few weeks time!

Amazed at the clobber some people were wearing today at MK. I ran from Leighton Buzzard to watch, it was really warm in the sun. Loads of jackets, leggings, long sleeved tops on display, just don't know how folk can run like that.

Well done to anyone who tackled it, how did you find it?

Arun River Run, 2 weeks time [emoji3]

What a run yesterday, first part flat, then the stiles section, then the hilly bit, turnaround & all over again. I enjoyed the marathon + the extra mile. 4:30 for me. #95 done for me. How did it go for you?

dazzer6666 · May 15, 2016

Cracking event, becoming one of my favourite runs. Love the route, the scenery, the low-keyness and sitting on the decking having brekkie in the sun at the end. Went Ok-ish, about 4.23 (must have passed each other once or twice?)

Sadly for me, I missed Bexhill today through a combination of a football tournament in Leicester yesterday and Eurovision celebrations ( :blush:

) last night, I was unable to achieve consciousness before 11am this morning.

Next marathon for me is Beachy Head in October!

Steve Foster · May 22, 2016

No marathons run this weekend, but still plenty of miles in training. I did Hove Park 5k yesterday & a 16m jolly on the Downs today. Weald half marathon next weekend, and just the one marathon in June. Keep running & let me know of any updates.
