#100 will be Jerusalem
#101 Brighton (all being well)

I did the Berlin half a few years ago, but not done the marathon - a good shout.

Love Beachy - done it a number of times.As for the Velothon - not for me!

Bad Ash: 1 - Brighton 2016

Did Brighton this year and giving it a another bash. Have barely run since April, but am doing a half (Swindon) in a couple of weeks, hopefully that'll kick start the training.

Exciting......where will #100 be ? Was Berlin today, how about that for Autumn ? PB course apparently.....

Beachy Head next up for me in Oct, then Velothon in Nov (maybe a PB attempt, going to be boring otherwise !)

Bermondseygull: 1 - South Downs 2015

Next one is Beachy Head, and hoping to get a number for Brighton next year when the ballot reopens. Think I'm going to enjoy this thread!

Haha.. Round and round and round and round... x72.... I'm gonna end up on the ground in sweaty dizzy mess way before anything gets boring! See you at Beachy!

Think of the positives - car will be a 2 min walk away, and there will be an aid station every 500 yards. On the minus side, I know the are at least a couple of serious runners using it as a PB attempt, so I am going to get lapped multiple times [emoji3]

Haha so my race strategy will be simply to resist scoffing at the party table. I can see the scene now.. 90 or so people in sweaty lycra tucking in to the mini scotch eggs, whilst the speedsters do their stuff..grreat!

Downslink completed. 5hrs:30min ish 37.8 miles 08:57 av mi.. Great day out, very flat but enjoyable..Ran on my own for large chunks which was tough mentally and had tommy problems after a dodgy gel at about 27 miles so i couldnt really get my pace back up. But as always sussex trail do great small freindly runs plus the veggie chilli was amazing!

ill put my garmin stats on here when i can, but i stuck em on strava earlier..

Have a good week running folks!

Gave me tunnel vision! Made quite me dizzy when stopped briefly at the check points later on. Tbh was too flat for me. A couple of bumps, which i wouldnt even call them that, felt like mountains.. Ill be wishing for a bit flat midway through the 7 b*tchs in 3 weeks time though..im very sure!
