I entered this event some 12 years or so back. I didn't train for it and, when the day arrived, I didn't run. I wasted a valuable place and pushed it to the back of my mind.
With my recent proven return to fitness I found myself, back in May this year, looking for an autumn goal. There was never any doubt: Beachy Head was calling me.
Well, here we are, 3 weeks away from my debut marathon. Training is going well: I'm running 6 times a week, I ran a 30 miler at the end of July, I've kept injuries at bay and have started to run with greater economy. All this gives me belief: I will finish and I expect to attack my goal of sub 5 hours. (Beachy Head being a very testing off road 26 miles or so.)
My plan is to get to the half way point in 2:15 leaving 2:45 to bring it all on home.
I'm really looking forward to this event. Don't expect too many pictures, I may have my hands full!
