January is always a great month for a meet up as typically everyone is doing bugger all. Maybe we should confirm after the FA cup draw. If we get a home draw then that would make a lot of sense.

9th is the day before the Worthing half so a few maybe resting up then. I’m also contemplating running the Bedgebury 10 mile on the 3rd Feb so again I’d probably skip that.
Whatever works for the majority though.
Maybe next week then? Short notice but many seem to have started the year in a rich vein of form.
Good advice but this is why I run along the seafront and always carry a five pound note - it's the bus of shame for me if it goes pear shaped
Im not travelling to Manchester United away that day so I could definitely make that.

Looks like ideal half marathons season prep. Has anyone run this before?

I hope you also carry toilet paper, plus a bit extra just in case

I did a bit of a miserable review of the course a couple of weeks back but that was really because I expected it to be a fast one and the terrain is not really my cup of tea as I'm a wimp. But it's not as hard as Bevendean and I'd rank it about the same as Peacehaven, East Grinstead and Clair Park. Not PB territory but a bit of a challenge. Hope that helps. Worth checking out in my view - but perhaps just the once. Car parking looked a bit tight but I got there early.
You can tell it's marathon training season. Out at 7 today and saw absolutely loads of runners, most heading the opposite way to me. Got back to update Strava and training plan to see a clutch of NSCers recording runs including Dazzer, big nuts and Mr Blobby.
Happy to report I survived 11 miles at 10 minute miles, which felt ridiculously slow.
Now to enjoy my normal Sunday roast and bottle of red - sorry, make that a protein based salad and some water

Good stuff - foot all ok ??
I did a ploddy 10 miles, not feeling the love at all this morning, very lethargic but have had (for me) a volume increase this week. Wouldn’t usually see more than maybe 3-4 runners on the route I did this morning at that time, probably saw min 20 today.

Ha Ha, I have been on that bus of shame.
Used to run regularly between Portslade and Saltdean along the seafront.
Caught up in a mental storm and wind just too much on way back meaning treading water.
Got bus back somewhere from close to Roedean school, felt guilty about it ever since.
Yes thanks, all good at the moment.
It's good to have an option though......
