Well done everyone, runners and supporters, epic achievements all round. The lack of breeze and air made it as difficult as the heat. I was pacing a friend so it wasn't as tough for me but even running at a pace lower than normal race pace I could feel it. Congrats again everyone.
Most 'running' experts will say carb loading is advisable the day before a marathon. I tend to increase my carbs the day before, grazing at them, rather than stuffing them in, in one go. Works for me but it is horses for courses, what works for one won't work for another. I went years ending up...

I am in Cranleigh doing the 21. I did Worthing 20 yesterday, a new PB 2.37. 15 miles all at 8 min mile then ramped it up for last 4. Its looking good for a new marathon PB in Brighton *crosses fingers*
Either the club oversold the uni parking 3:1 or a lot of people were blagging their way in. Or both.
