How's your training been going Kathryn? What's your longest run so far?

Thanks Andy and Kathryn - really useful.

Wow - flat as a pancake, really. Can't argue with that.

I'm seriously excited about this race. And even more excited about the beer afterwards! I've been teetotal for 40 days now...

Yes as Kathryn points out it is a feature we have that relies on help from members sharing their routes. Go to routes and races, races, race routes and then Brighton is under member routes. Click box to see hill profile and move the blue dot to see where they are.

i remeber the cheeky little hill aound Ovingdean but that wasn't why i dropped out last year, the course is very good. The only worry would be if it is windy on the day.

Thanks Kate. That's exactly what we want to hear!

I'm sure Kate can give a bit more detail, but a friend of mine ran it (while I watched/went to the pub), and he said it was reasonably flat.

According to the website, "there are some undulations in the route, principally in the first 11 miles of the race, while the last 15 miles... is either flat or downhill". Sounds fine to me! Take it nice and steady for the first half, then try and pick it up for the second half! 

Yes, I've confirmed that I'll be taking up my deferred place. So New Forest in September, Brighton in April! Plenty to aim for.
