I am running the
Brighton Marathon on 12th April 2015 and have put together a
weekend long run schedule. If anyone would like to join me on any of these
runs, just turn up. I’ve put the pace as this is what I think would get me
a 3hr40mins marathon, so if you are aiming for a similar time, this may
help you. If you are running London two weeks later, you can still join in
but may need to add to or cut off parts of the run as necessary.
Some of the runs will
pass churchyard taps for you to fill water bottles. If not, I will put out
water if I know in advance that it’s needed. Any Qs contact me on
jenny.lovesey@talk21.com or 07761 625494
