April 18th sees the first ever Brighton Marathon and lots of local people are taking up the challenge and training hard for this 26.1 mile run. If you see runners out and about looking absolutely shattered, like they can barely lift their feet, chances are that’s one of us nearly home from a loooooong run! We’re building up the distance and are now trying to do runs of around 20 miles. For some of us that means being out for over four hours. The challenge in running the marathon is not so much in running on the day, we’re all hoping that the crowds, the atmosphere and our adrenaline will see us through April 18th, but more in getting out four or five times a week and running. We’ve run in wind, rain, hail and even through six foot snow drifts on the downs!
We are running for many different reasons, because it’s there, because it’s been a lifetime goal, because we love to run and for some of us because we are trying to raise money for a charity that is important to us. If you can support any of us by cheering us on on the day, (it promises to be a really good Brighton day out,) giving us a shout when you see us around locally or by donating to the charities we are raining for we’d all be really grateful. For details of how to donate please give me a call.
