that is a big difference - no wonder beachy head has a reputation as a seriously tough marathon!
i hadn't realised just how much hills take out of you until i did a flat half marathon a couple of months ago. i saw just how much fresher you stay without that surge in heart rate and quad overload! doesn't happen a lot where i live, especially when i'm with the running club who are masochists to a man. have to confess mara training on my own has taken me along the canal a lot
.
well done on the 4:17, sort of time i daydream of getting! where did you get that?
