Any North Stand Chatters running the Brighton Marathon next Sunday?

No, but my elder daughter and I are doing the 10K in the morning.

I love it, one of the best performances last year, she's amazing! The other Barkley documentary about Gary Robbins "Where dreams go to die" is another one to watch. Think I've seen it 4-5 times. Respect to those athletes! This year no one finished, I think just ten got to loop two out of five.

Yesterday's 10K was great, and came with the added bonus of us bumping into JPvH and Dunky [separately] after the event.

I'm tempted by the marathon next year.

Not literally, I hope - the last thing we need is an accidental injury being inflicted on the rarest of people - a fit Brighton defender.

I can confirm that we did not inflict any injuries on either of them.

The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young

Made in 2014 but a great watch.
My old coach had a go at it, only managed one loop and he's got an ultra CV as long as pretty much anyone out there.

Wow, there's a lot of strange procedures just to get into the race and one loop is more than most people can dream of. He should be proud of it! Gary 'Laz' Cantrell is quite a character, one of a kind, he loves to see them suffer and push the boundaries of what is possible!

I did my first Park run in Seaford when I was over for the Leicester game. Very well organised and good fun. 31 minutes was ok for an old fart. Inspired me to run more now I'm back in Austria - working towards the Salzburg 10k next month.

The London Marathon ballot is currently open.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

It didn’t ask about having previously run a marathon or predicted finishing time.

I’m sure it has done this when I have entered in the past.

 

[Curious Orange]

Probably not worth the bother recording when the majority of people won't get a place.

 

[Blue&WhiteSea]

Got annoyingly close to 80% age grading at the serpentine last Friday of the month 5k yesterday 17:24 for an age grading of 79.9%

Probably not worth the bother recording when the majority of people won't get a place.

True, but I always thought the random allocation would take into account predicted finishing time to ensure there was a good spread of runners across the field.
