We’re very fortunate in Eastbourne to have the Chelsea School at the University of Brighton… populated by enthusastic runners. The lecturers and students actively participate in the sport, and runners, like Stuart Mills (seven time winner of the Beachy Head Marathon) and his team have dedicated their time to research on running! I was one of the many people who went along to the screening of Town of Runners on Thursday night…

I left off this blog talking about running the Worthing 20. Everything was on target for a good marathon, and I’d done a very pleasing 2:17:58 for 20 miles. Then my life went through an upheaval, so my running had to play second fiddle. But… I’m pleased to say I’m back and have filled in the journalist entry form for the Berlin Marathon and submitted my 100 Euro payment (yes, 100 Euros!!!).

Are pretty much done… I hope I can squeeze in some 5ks but the big ones are complete…..

In this batch of marathon training, I’ve done three big races, two half marathons and a 20 mile race. Each race has brought its own unique challenge.
