Sad day - I hope you aren’t sulking because you missed getting in the photo this morning!
Thank you for your sterling service over the years - we move on.🤪
Great day out! London really is unlike any other race isn't it? The noise, the support -so much goodwill in the air, the sights - I really didn't think much about the running. Absolutely delighted then to run 3:46:29. My fastest marathon since London 2016. As @knocky1 says, I had a bit of a...
Yeah - I was looking out for you too but I barely saw anyone between the 3:30 pacer and 5:00 pacer and when I was watching I was mainly looking out for anyone in distress rather than friends! I think I knew about 20 people running yesterday and saw three of them.
Good news is only two runners...
Well done all runners yesterday - some great times on a day many struggled with the unexpected heat.
Had the usual fun day running the High5 drinks station at Mile 15.
Slightly stressful - at one point I had five runners lying on the floor in various states of distress, thankfully I had a couple...
Good luck to those running on Sunday. I’ll be managing the High5 Drinks Station just after mile 15 towards the west end of Madeira Drive.
I’ve been very impressed with LME’s organisation this year - BM is still in transition but I have a feeling it’s going become a bigger and better event over...
Hastings HM for me today. Such a good event probably second to Barns Green my favourite half in Sussex.
I was really only going to use it as a training run for London in four weeks but felt good going up the hill so pushed on and finished in a pleasing 1:42:23.
So nice to run in the sun even if...
I'm not running on Sunday but will be managing the Water Station at Mile 11 - on the Prom just before you hit Hove Lawns.- (or possibly the one on the roadside at 8.5 miles by Courtney Gate if they don't have enough volunteers!).
Good luck runners - I'll be ready to shout IIIIIgooorrrrr @Albion...
Unlikely I’d say. I don’t think this has happened before and it’s a fairly major event for Brighton requiring significant road closures and emergency services support.
Of course the game could still move to Friday or Monday for TV.
They say never meet your heroes but a pleasure to catch up with @Garry Nelson's teacher today at Worthing for the first time in a couple of years and watch him glide around the turn and disappear into the distance!
21:15/73.57% a decent effort after 11 muddy miles on the Downs yesterday.
Bumper...
Thank you @Curious Orange for your work on the table.
I started the year with 22:08/70.63% on the back of five hours sleep and a hangover so hopefully plenty of room for improvement.
Congratulations to @Garry Nelson's teacher on his continued outstanding performance and let’s see how long I...
47th and final parkrun of 2023 meant the annual trip to Bevendean Down. It doesn’t get any easier there! Very pleased to get a pb though and highest ever position (6th but it’s a run not a race right :) ).
Who’s at Hove Park on NYD? I’ll be scanning after the run. More marshals needed if anyone...
Wonderful morning for parkrunning - it seems several parkruns in Holland are being completed by Seagulls.
Meanwhile back in perfect conditions on Hove Prom I managed an SB 20:58 and an AG PB of 74.56% - classic 'three weeks after a marathon' performance when your legs are strong and have...
