Thank you Dexy. 😊 It is a lovely run and I wasn’t expecting to do a HM at all. The climb into Peacehaven is a killer but I was expecting it this time and took it one small stride at a time.

Were you running on the undercliff path? I don’t think I ever walked quite as far as peacehaven.

No it was along the cliff top πŸ₯΅ a lot of up and down and the wind of course πŸ™„

The bling is very well deserved. Having looked at the map I remember why I never got to Peacehaven - Rottingdean had a very nice pub next to a duck pond.

Tbh there doesn’t seem to be a lot going on in Peacehaven. Pub in Rottingdean was a good decision! πŸ˜€

Thank you cheeky 😁☺️ It wasn’t meant to be fast. It’s my long slow run that happened to go a lot longer than I expected. πŸ˜‚

Well done!! A super distance and a great time too. You have achieved something quite considerable here so another string to your bow! Massive congratulations πŸ‘ πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thanks GTFC πŸ˜„ I had never thought I would go this far as I find long distances hurt too much so I focus on shorter faster runs. I surprised myself tbh.

Thank you ST1 😁☺️ There were some killer hills in there. Proper leg busters. I found it easier if I didn’t look up. πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

Thank you Sandra. ☺️ Those last 3 k were awful but that will be because I took no water or sweets I think. I’m not sure I’ll run another one tbh. But if I ever do, it’ll be a little flatter and hopefully a lot faster. And I’ll be better prepared.

Brilliant first HM, and look at that pace!! Amazing......in my world that is best 5k pace maintained over a hill strewn HM! Your heart rate average is great too; and you say you didn’t really prepare? You are a really serious runner!!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ₯‚
