Good luck on Sunday to any NSC runners who are doing the Sussex Trail Events marathon in Teville Gate Car Park this Sunday. My brother, whose insane idea this was informs me that it's 71 times up and down and the total elevation the runners would do is just short of the height of Ben Nevis. Absolute nutters.

Good stuff. (My shoulder is crocked.) Back to parkrun for first time in weeks tomorrow.
Good luck to all the Brighton runners on Sunday. I did about 4 miles on Doris Day along the seafront; it occurred to me that a half marathon in those conditions would be hell. Hope Sunday isn't anything like that.

A thumbs up for Doris Day.

9 miles in 1.08 today.

Last longer run before the half marathon.

Yes. Loads of pals doing this so I'll probably pop down to deliver a few words of encouragement.........I was injured when the entries opened (and whilst there may be nutters, there was a WAITING LIST as it was oversubscribed !) so decided not to apply. Thank **ck [emoji23][emoji23]

Hope there is parking nearby [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Would recommend anyone on here interested in proper, well organised old-skool trail running events have a look at Sussex Trail Events series of races, [MENTION=5200]Buzzer[/MENTION]'s brother and his pals are top, top blokes and put on fabulous events. Only this one is exclusively in a car park [emoji106]

I might well pop over too and see this once in a lifetime event. Jay was saying on FB that they will have someone running alongside the last runner at all times and that just about sums up the whole ethos of what they are about.

They were hugely over-subscribed and they've even got someone from Malta coming over specially for this race!

I was interested at first but don't think I could stick it. Fair play to those that do. I'll stick to a couple of the trail ruins this year instead...

Not a great day for a prom based parkrun - blooding freezing in Worthing and with a stiff westerly. 21:50 for me (AG 74.73). Pleased with this.

Is there anything stopping me from just running the HM without an entry? I mean if i join a big group is anyone going to yank me out?

Well done.. good time considering the wind. My daughters and I were marshalling at the rowing club and yes it was bloody freezing!

Really? I suppose if you're using refreshments/facilities and picking up a meddle its a bit off otherwise you are just running along a public road.

Just suggested by a mate whose running it and I have a short run scheduled tomorrow. Wouldn't do it as imagine you might get taken out by a steward.

Many thanks - but most of all thanks to you and your daughters for standing around in those Siberian conditions! Are you injured or saving yourself for something more meaty?

Yeah it was really fun this morning, made nicer by the hot chocolate in Coast afterwards.. Yeah I was thinking of running this morning but wasn't feeling it, i'll go out this evening after the football. Just got the 12hr track run beginning of April which is prep for the Grand Union end of May. Need to step it up a bit though as lots of things have been getting in the way lately.

Now that's what I call meaty!

1:40 for me at Brighton Half today.

Long way off a PB but I was treating it as a training run for the Marathon in April. No finishers T-shirt this year though.
