I never gave them permission to use my quote though - cheek!
I'm doing the Liverpool Half Marathon on Sunday as training for Brighton. Probably wouldn't want to wear that top then!

Did the club do the badge as well as the lettering?

Ordered shirt from Maude Sport (will come up on Google) £20 incl postage-its the Errea Sprint blue running vest.
Then went to club shop who did letters and club badge- £10.50.

Good shout! "These colours dont run" probably not appropriate!
Cheers.

Yep badge was £2.50.
It would be so simple for club to order say 50 shirts (errea obviously kit sponsor), then put badges on and sell at £30 a pop. Make a decent sum at the rates they can buy in. But as previously said, never got response to our requests/emails did we!

No we didnt, club loss. I will be taking my shirt in for badge
Good work! Will look out for you on day!
Based on the Duchy Marathon, it didn't seem to affect the times too much. There was a section that we did twice where it was virtually impossible to make forward progress into the wind and supporters were blown off their bikes. We didn't even get a tail wind anywhere as the route went into a valley as soon as we turned off the coast path!
However, I did a personal best for a marathon and everyone in my club achieved their target time.

Up the Albion!
Road v Treadmill.
Went ashore for the first time in almost 4 weeks yesterday & ran on land for 10k as opposed to my nightly treadmill session. F*ck me I was breathing out of my hoop! Now I know it was in the heat of St Thomas (although around early evening) as opposed to a nice air conditioned gym, but it just reminded me that a treadmill is no substitute for getting out there & putting the miles in.

Anyone doing Worthing 20 this morning? Good luck if you are, weather better than originally predicted **keeps fingers crossed**.
Hoping for a cheeky sub 3 hrs.

Spitfire 20 for me this morning. Looking like a great day for such a long race
Do you have to hold your arms out and make aeroplane noises all the way round?
1.53. Happy with that.

Top running Driver! I did 2hrs 40 for the Worthing 20, a lovely morning for it.
Blimey that's a good time. What are you aiming for in the Brighton marathon?

I have never broken 4hrs before despite 16 attempts. I seem to get to 22 miles and fall apart but I have never been this fit. Took 12 mins of my PB this morning so fingers crossed. 3.59.59 will do me. How about you what are you looking for?
