Marathon No. 29 is in the bag. This was a very strange one. It was a training run rather than a race for me with 13 hard miles sandwiched in between two sets of 6.5 easy miles. In reality I should’ve skipped this and just done a fast 13 somewhere else but I’d paid the money so... I got round in 3:34 which is a course PB (gotta look for wins in every run!), taking nearly half an hour off last year. @brightonmarathonweekend is a tough race in my view. Enough hills early that you pay for later, loads of little out and back stretches and a stretch of psychological torment between mile 19 and 22 where you run out and back to a desolate power station, just at the moment the race bites hard. Makes for a tough final 10km. But what I will say is the people of Brighton are amazing. The level of support is London-esque. Everyone was great out there today. I’m now strapped up in my @2xueurope tights and it’s time for a couple of days recovery before my final training sessions for Hamburg. 2 weeks to go... #marathonrunning #brightonheroes (at Brighton Marathon)
