11 miles this morning at 9.35 pace. Ready for next week? Definitely.
Stopped off to talk to [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] on my cool down who was looking fit as a fiddle.
I thought Eastbourne was a nice course. Flat and green surroundings with a fairly good surface. My body let me down today, not the route, so I’ll be back for a proper crack at it.
There certainly is. You need to do 20 to get on the table - http://www.parkrun.org.uk/results/mostevents/
Lancing Eagles is the one that caught my eye, despite the name. It’s certainly the easiest to reach, but could I really buy and wear clothing that says EAGLES on it?
I’ve seen some of your runs on the Strava group. You’re a crazy man. I’m still two hours from waking up when you’re running! There must be potential for a successful local club though. There are plenty of runners on the streets round here and quite a good variety of routes. If Steyning has got one then SBS definitely should too.
Not sure about crazy (although I guess all of us are a little bit) but I've always been good at early mornings - it's just what works for me [emoji16]
You're right though - I think there is the potential for a running club. I even see other runners around pre-dawn!

Excellent stuff. Apart from still having yesterday's match ball hidden in your running top you looked good yourself particularly at the end of 11 miles. I was in need of a Zimmer frame 2 and half hours later. 16 miles at planned 10" mile pace on the flat really tightened the I.T. band. Still job done.
As there seems to be a number of NSC runners preparing for a marathon, I thought you might be interested in this. I can't commend it as such - just putting it out there in case it's of use. Happy running!

Bad news for [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION] and [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] they missed someone sneaking up on the outside. Well done [MENTION=11816]Artie Fufkin[/MENTION]. Found this from Strava. Nearly thought you'd taken my AG % lead but I manage to hang on.
Thanks very much for adding my parkrun time & AG on Saturday knocky1! Didn't think I had the legs to go sub 19 at the moment.
I come seeking NSC running wisdom...
After popping a hamstring at Hove park on the first Saturday of 2018, I made my parkrun return this weekend with a very sedate 27.22. After 5 weeks of recovery/kicking my heels I'm trying to build my distances back up, went out yesterday and completed 10.8 miles in 1hr 40. Thing is, today my legs ache a lot and with an eye on the Brighton half this coming weekend what should my plan be for this week? I was planning a couple more runs to get me closer to the 13.1 distance as I was dead on my feet at the end of yesterday but I don't really want to risk the hammy popping again! If I can get through the half I'm reasonably confident I can build up in time for the Brighton marathon.
What should I do?
