Planned to join TCB and co at Bevendean but a prang on the 23 at Patcham meant we crawled through and only just made Preston Park. Was ambitiously aiming for the 22 mark but stitched near the end and ended up 22.26. Previous best 22.27 at Worthing so it's progress.

Any tips for not getting a stitch on a morning run? Seems to be a regular occurance 4k down. Never really know whether to eat or drink in the morning, half a banana and a cup of water this morning obviously didn't work!

If it's possible to enjoy a road 10k this one comes closest for me. Flat first mile then a 2 mile slog up to Grove hill then turn and give it some beans on the 3 mile downhill to the finish. I normally run it but was too late entering this year. I'll try to head along at the finish. Good luck

21:56 at a flood altered Eastbourne park run today. My times aren't improving much but I'm much happier with my race management as kept a fairly consistent pace all the way.

Maybe [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] could do a table for every individual Sussex Parkrun and we could find out the par times.

I reckon Bevendean is a +2 minutes.

Ran Littlehampton 10k this morning, a very nice course and well supported. The wind picking up for the East to West run in didn't help but managed a second PB in 8 days with 39:10 and 21st Place.

Next race Barns Green in 2 weeks.

Could someone update the table for me please.

We are obviously very closely matched but, just like our PBs, you have the edge on me as I ran a 24:24 at Bevendean this morning. Jesus Christ, I've never run anywhere like that. The conditions weren't too bad to be fair, the problem was me (a person with minimal hill running experience) being met with an absolute monster of an incline. My friend won it with a time that was just over two minutes off his PB, so I will console myself with the fact I wasn't too much more off mine, suggesting that wasn't too far off a par time for someone of my ability on that course. But it certainly wasn't pretty! Despite the hill, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it as it's a bit different to normal. I'd like to do it again now I know what to expect as I think I could pace it more efficiently.

Got to say you weren't wrong, that was a great event. The sun shone, scenic country roads, enjoyed the challenge of the uphill section. Can't say it felt like going downhill in the few kilometres, seem to undulate.
Tried to start out easy as all the advice, didn't exactly bomb home but didn't get passed at all in the second half. End outcome new PB by 3 minutes in 47:11.
One for the table knocky/ninja elephant.

Ninja Elephant said:

Sure, can do. For my sanity, which ones are we including?

Hove Park, Preston Park, Peacehaven, Worthing, Bevendean - others to be included?

As a minion, of the Super Egos, I have done that for you, Sir.
I think we need the Super Egos to have a NSC Challenge. Can't you all set a date for an October Parkrun? PBs, SBs and times are all well and good but I want to see a race. Saw Graham Gooden fight valiantly for first place at Hove Park yesterday but although he gained on the winner he failed by a second.
