I am hoping to get some tips from you guys having just entered myself for the Brighton Marathon !
I originally put myself down for the London and was unsuccessful in the draw.
But have started training since September not wanting to leave it to the last minute.
I did my first 8 mile run on Sunday and was so pleased, no stopping at a continuous speed.
I completed in 1hr 20. May seem slow I dont know, but did feel relatively comfortable.
No aches or pains and no tiredness the next day.
Not really looking to get a fast time just knowing that I will be able to complete it.
This is my rest week but finding it weird not doing anything at all.
For those that do a rest time do you still do your usual commutes on the bike ete... or do nothing at all ?
Has anyone run the Brighton Marathon before and any advice and tips on keeping motivated in the cold winter months for training as this is all self motivated
long post hope your still reading :)
