If anyone else from here ran Brighton yesterday I hope you managed to enjoy it, it was tough but I had a pretty good run and knocked almost 7 minutes off my previous PB to finish with a chip time of 03:22:18 (over 3 minutes slower than the gun time) so I've got to be fairly happy with that. For quite a lot of the race I was probably on course for a sub 3 hours 20 minutes marathon but couldn't quite sustain it and I felt like I was still passing a lot of people over the final few miles who'd maybe gone out a bit too hard. Mostly my pacing seemed fairly consistent regardless of the hills albeit I slowed up a bit in the last few kilometers which I think was a combination of a rather interrupted last month of training and running into a headwind along the seafront heading back towards the beach. It seemed like a very well supported and organised event overall though, it was a little bit hilly at the start but at least you got the hills mostly out the way long before halfway, miles 17-21(ish) where you're heading away from everything out to the harbour and some industrial units wasn't so appealing but I'd definitely consider running it again. Today I've got slightly sore knees and some mild sunburn on my shoulders but aside from that I'm feeling surprisingly healthy, I'll still take a few days off before a gentle run though.
