Southcoast 50

Marathon not far enough for you? How about a 50k?

This race starts at Littlehampton and takes you along the South Coast (did the name give that away?!) finishing at Porchester.

This is a self guided ultra with manned check in points with maps and food & drink.

Challenge accepted?

Chichester 10k

Taking it down a notch, the Chichester 10k at Goodwood is on the same day as the Southcoast 50 but a little less hard on the legs.  

The Chichester 10k at Goodwood is a race over public roads for the first 6.0km finishing with a complete lap of the Goodwood Motor Circuit.

Sound like a plan?

If flat and fast is a winner for you, then this one in Worthing ticks those boxes.

Mile by mile: Half marathon thoughts...

Image
Mile 1: I’m here, I’m ready, I feel great. Going to smash this in no time! Probably should have trained harder than doing a few 5k’s but I’m sure it will be fine. It is 5k 4 times, plus a little bit - easy. Mile 2: To make sure I get to the end I will try and keep up with someone with a similar pace, I will try to not be too obvious. Mile 3: Someone must have moved the mile 3 marker. The distance from 2-3 miles was much too far, the runner I was copying seems to have disappeared. I will look for a new mark. Mile 4: Over 5k done, quarter of the way there if my maths is correct. Get in! I’m flying through this. Mile 5: So 5 miles is halfway to 10 miles, when I get to 10 miles the end will be in sight. I’m feeling amazing.   I’m going to book a marathon as soon as I have finished! Mile 6: Nearly halfway, I have a new runner I am following, think I am annoying him as he keeps looking back at me and my noisy hydration vest. Mile 7: It is very hard to drink and run. Choked an...

5 reasons to get outside and run right now

1 .You never know what you might find  Dirty knickers, money and sex aids are just a few things I have found on my runs. Get out there and get hunting. Don't pick up anything too dodgy though, if you find a huge stash of cash it is advisable to send it to me and I will take it to the police...probably. (Honestly they are not mine....) 2 .You will get encouragement from strangers It is amazing what a smile, nod or little wave can do for your self esteem when you are running, especially when it comes from another runner. You feel like you are in it together and part of a team even when you are on your own. Beware of accidently stalking other runners to keep up with them, they don't like it. 3 .You get the benefit of fresh air Yes, initially you will feel like you are going to pass out and your lungs might burst, but then you will hit a natural stride and you will feel on top of the world while breathing in all of the goodness around you. Well, providin...

Half bloody marathon

Image
The thought of doing a half marathon with no crowds to cheer me on, no reward of random snacks at the end and no immediate medal when I have crossed the finish line was a bit daunting to say the least. However in the lockdown I have seen people running marathons on their balconies and in their living room, so I decided to put on my big girl pants and get on with it. Plus I would get my medal eventually in the post if I did complete it. I was supposed to do the Goodwood Grand Prix half marathon with Run Through on 20 th April 2020. However, Covid-19 has changed all of our plans and all running events were cancelled, but I received an email from the company saying if participants who had signed up did do a half marathon and send in the evidence, then we would get the medal, t-shirt and goodies. Brilliant! I am not one to turn down the opportunity to get something shiny but it did take a lot of willpower to actually get my arse off the sofa and complete it. So yesterday, whe...
