Good Afternoon L&G
Well done to all who ventured out this weekend.
Endurance Life Coastal Marathon
Five runs, five consecutive weekends every one freezing cold. Up before 5am to prepare and commute the 1.5 hours to the start. A marathon that encompasses Beachy Head, Seven Sisters and the South Downs was always going to be tough.
Four base layers and a running jacket kept me relatively warm at the start. The new trail trainers were about to get an initiation they wouldn't forget. Oh, and before long we were up on the cliffs. Freezing temperatures and a brisk easterly wind. Up and down, up and down it was relentless. By the time we reached the forest it was a quagmire. Well and truly churned up by the faster runners.
Mile 20 took 20 minutes up to the top of Beachy Head, the wind making my eyes water, or was that the pain. Niall who was running up with me said enough was enough and headed down to the start for a DNF. The downhills were slippery and precarious. The only relatively flat part of the course was the last 4 miles.
Six hours, a personal worst time for a marathon, but completing that challenge meant far more to me than any PB. After 24 hours to consider it this marathon overtakes the Greensands Trionium as the toughest.
Today I've spent most of the day in bed. The cold won.
Finally not that impressed by the 'medal', more akin to a coke ring pull on a plug chain. | |

Good Morning L&G
Maths, that is fairly shocking news after 20 years.
Sussex Coastal Marathon tomorrow so an early start. 27.2 miles of fun awaits. Yes, they've added an extra mile to make sure I'm totally done. It's now in the category of a training run for the SDW50 in April. | |

Well done to Chris and JF, great times. About 15 mins quicker than I've ever been for a half. Happy Birthday Kate. 24 miles on the South Downs yesterday with the mini ultra group I've infiltrated. Felt a bit of a fraud, but I hung on in there. Started at Worthing and ended in Brighton, where we caught the train back | |
