Good point, will check the weather and maybe head to Goring or somewhere and go the other way.

Yep, love running round Shoreham Beach though will probably do the Shoreham Harbour loop and then out to Palace Pier and back tomorrow as the wind will be stiller tomorrow morning.

Today there were 109 runners at Hove Prom, 323 Preston Park & 432 Hove Park = 864. Will be interesting to see how numbers fair next Saturday when we will have Bevendean as well.
The boy done good nearly made me as sick as a parrot. I didn't factor in that he might continue his run of a new pb every week and especially not by 31 seconds. He had the tenacity to saunter past me on the second lap and make me go full effort from then on. Sub 22 needed on the day.
Good to get [MENTION=24635]Greg Bobkin[/MENTION] and [MENTION=26634]Simgull[/MENTION] back in sight even if it is a long range rifle sight. Over the next couple of weeks hoping to get in amongst them.

Best time since September - 21.18. Well chuffed.
I sprinted around the house for a few minutes to watch my heart rate go up and then recover whilst wearing the FR235.

Your comeback continues...................
A 21:48 at a very, very wet Bognor for me (AGR 74.24%). Hope I've got something left for tomorrow's Worthing 4 mile: aiming at 26:52 for a 78% AG but probably a bit ambitious. Please, Gods of Running: no wind tomorrow!

Doesn't count unless it's an official event! May bump into you a mile East of Worthing Pier. Planning to join the NSC Sunday morning Worthing direction jolly.

20:23 for me today - a bit slower than usual, but entirely my own fault for going out for a half hour easy run yesterday, and then getting lost and ending up running 8 miles!

Don't think it gets this far east. My advice would be to avoid any contact as there'll be about 700-800 runners.
Took a rest from Park Run this week but managed to watch the Hove Prom runners as I made my way to Preston Street and then it was North to Old Shoreham Road a lap of Hove Park to see the back markers finish then South at Kingston Lane and back towards home.
Started slowly and had plenty in the tank for a fast finish. Had to cut the run short at 13.7 as had to get home for a specific time but pleased to add 0.5 miles to my longest run and means moving to 15 next week shouldn't be too much of a jump.

"Just" eleven miles this morning (half an hour was my long run this time last year). The seafront is once again the M25 for runners. Was supposed to be doing 9"00 to 9"10 miles. Last one was 8"35 chasing some tail. Ooopsy.
Plenty look like they're doing half / full training for all the upcoming races including bloke in this season's crimson away shirt who seemed to be doing the same loop as me in reverse.
EDIT - 130 miles for January in total. That's a first.

I have no confidence in doing well at the Half but, with the help of a few others, managed 13.5k in 1:05 yesterday.
Just joined NSCstrava this week. Apart from giving me stats my old Garmin cannot deliver, it is interesting to stalk the competition. I had followed your routine and woke at 6 for a 15 mile tortoise run to Rottingdean. Got home and checked to see if our paths had crossed and was impressed with your consistent mile times. Good running.
I have learnt it's better to get it over and done with early in the morning, great being at the marina before it was light.
Coming back from injury I have upped the mileage so much that I risk further injury but seem to be OK. The coming week is going to be a killer with the accumulative mileage kicking in. Best enjoyment from running since Hastings last year.
Have also learnt that the hills out to Ovingdean in the marathon deserve more respect than I give them on the day.
If it is your first half it's win/win. Run and enjoy it. The more you hold back the more you will smash your time in the next half marathon you do. Have you a target time? You'll easily get sub 1:45.

I can't wait to get back to running.
I ran 14 miles last Monday felt good, woke up Tuesday morning unable to turn my head. I have had a frustrating week unable to run, today my neck finally feels like it's getting back to normal.
So fingers crossed for a long run tomorrow, I can't wait to get back to running.

Thanks Knockster. I had a target time of 90, but then stewarded at Parkrun the other week and noticed that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves more than I ever do. So I decided to drop the competitive streak - probably for the best, as I'm a dismal failure generally - and enjoy it at an unbursting, ungrimacing pace.
Grimace after 7-8 miles then and see how far under 1:40 you can get....
