Cheers Laudy, I have friends who live in Balham in South London so I may well ask them if they can lend me a bed for the night! I can get a charity place so will make a decision in the next few days, I have bad knees so want to see if they can manage 4-5 runs a week (today will be my third of this week....).

 

Good luck to your other half if they attempt it again in 2013!

Cheers Highrise,

I am still not 100% about it but your message helped! I ran London a few years ago and have always wanted to do another one but my knees are in bad shape, bt its six months away so if I manage them properly I think I could do it.

Just trying to look into whether or not the train or driving down would be the best bet!

Good luck of you run it in 2013,

 

Matt

Cheers Millsy, not sure if I could do it without Music, need to have the safety net of the Rocky soundtrack for when the legs start to ache!

I completed the Blenheim half in 2:05 yesterday and am seriously looking at doing Brighton in April. I would need to travel back to Oxford on the day though, has anyone did it previously? I am just wondering how easy it is to get back to the train station from the finish?

Also it says there are no headphones allowed - i only ever run with headphones so does anyone think it would be a big deal if I ran with them?

Any advice about hotels etc appreciated!

Best wishes to everyone,

Matt
