For various reasons I don’t perceive a wish for a particularly long run tomorrow, so I suggest this 9.5 miler that encircles, but does not cross, a well-known bridge, although does include a stretch of Spithandle Lane!

After the exertions of last Saturday and the previous weekend, I am not planning a particularly long run this Saturday, so suggest the route below, which shouldn’t be very muddy, even if it’s raining. As it’s less than 10 miles and has an easy-to-follow shortcut, maybe it will appeal to those who don’t usually join us on Saturday mornings….

We are planning to run the western Beachy route in Saturday, starting from Cuckmere Haven, and including the seemingly endless hill out of Alfriston that we all know and love! A few people have expressed an interest in a shorter route and the one below not only omits the hill, but also reduces the distance to no more than 10 miles. There is an option at Litlington to follow the usual route up the steps or to stay on the river bank all the way to the Exceat Bridge.

It’s a while since we did a really long run and so I suggest this route of about 17 miles on Saturday, particularly for those doing Beachy. There are plenty of opportunities for shortcuts and there’s only one proper hill! Drinks and Mars bars or bananas will be available about half way round, as an added incentive.

Anastasia (my Swiss student who has run with us recently) leaves on Saturday morning, so I will be doing only a short run of less than 9 miles – see the route below. There are various options to extend it, including round the Monastery, for anyone who wants a longer run.

Hi guys, normal service is resumed – may I suggest this route of about 11 miles tomorrow. I have been going stir crazy as a result of not having run for 3 days, but I also don’t want to get too carried away until I have the results of my angiogram on Monday.
