"On Sunday, Simon, Mick and myself ran the seaford 10k. We all achieved much wanted new p.b.s
Simon came 10th with 44m59s out of 55 males. Mick came 41st with 1h03m02s out of 55 males and I came 12th out of 56 females with 53m58s these were gun times as the chip timing wasn't working. The course was very easy and the weather pretty perfect. Windy but coming off the sea so it didn't hinder. Thankfully no head wind, also drizzly to keep you cool. A really great day for running."

The club had two participants in the Half Marathon event, namely, Tom Brampton and Ali Marshman. Tom just pipped Ali with a time of 1:38:38 to place 8th overall. Ali's time was 1:39:37 (10th overall).
With over double the amount of relay teams in the Marathon this year the club's all girls team consisting of Lorna Cotter, Pam Matthews, Cathy Bate and Ruth Frais (Coast Busters Team) ran a great race to finish in 10th place. With thanks to Greg Stokes for recording all the teams split times, the girls ran:
1:06:02 59:29 1:01:30 1:04:36
A full report and photos of the race can be found at Starfish Races 2016

The Thames Path 100
100 miles non-stop on foot along the River Thames from Richmond, London to Oxford. 28 hour time limit. Total Climb: 1900 feet. Date: 30th April - 1st May 2016.
Not a race for the faint hearted and with a cut off time of 28 hours in order to be eligible for an award only the most experienced or mentally deranged runner would contemplate this distance. Some say Tim Cox is a bit of both!
For a warm up to the main event Tim ran the Richmond Parkrun in a sub 23 min time! He then went on to complete the 100 in an amazing time of 21:07:15. Tim paced himself evenly and overtook some 50 or so runners in the second half to finish in 48th position.
Experienced, maybe a little deranged but most definitely an inspiration to us all!

Cathy Bate made it a family affair last weekend. Running with her brothers, Cathy recorded a time of 28:24 at the Bedgebury Pinetum Parkrun on Saturday.
Following on from that they then headed out to Burgess Hill for the 10km. on Sunday. A multi terrain, somewhat muddy course, Cathy was very please with her time of 1:02:36. Well done Cathy.

Congratulations to Dan Marshman who not only ran in fancy dress but bagged himself a new pb and third place overall in the St George's Day Marathon last Saturday!
Inspired by Tim Cox's outfit last year no doubt!
Dan's time was 3:24:15.

Running your first marathon is always going to be memorable, however, when that marathon just happens to be London you know it's going to be even more special! Lorna Cotter's journey started last December when she was the lucky recipient of the club's one place for the event. Ali's guidance Lorna diligently completed all her training and wow did it pay off! Lorna was delighted with her time of 4:54:29. This is what she had to say:
"London marathon 4:54. Hardest thing I've done but well worth it. Crowds were fantastic. Thanks for all your support. Wouldn't have got here without you Ali Marshman. Good hearing tips from all you other marathon runners too. Who's next?"
Ballot open Monday 2nd-6th May everyone!

The Brighton Marathon took place yesterday in near perfect conditions for running. Starting off with a chill in the air the weather improved and with no wind to speak of making conditions ideal. Running his first ever marathon and barefoot (!) James Graham recorded a time of 4:45:30. No mean feat James (excuse the pun!) Also running his first marathon was Keith Stokes, although now living in Surrey, Keith has in the past done an enormous amount of work for BRT. Keith's result was 4:09:19.
Brt and Run Wednesdays came together to run in the Bungay Festival of Running in Suffolk. After copious amounts of alcohol the night before Chris Sage ran the 10km, Sherrill Barrett and Colin and Claire Hanks the Half Marathon. Alcohol and running obviously suits Claire who recorded a pb! Results were:
Chris 1:13:53 Sherrill 1:53:34 Colin 1:53:29 Claire 2:29:29

6th April 2016-Paris Marathon & A 50's theme!
Many congratulations to Andrea Harwood and Julian Manlow who ran the Paris Marathon last Sunday (3rd April). Both ran well with Andrea clocking 3:42:41 and Julian 4:39:46. Recover well folks!
Also last Sunday David Crosby decided to celebrate a milestone birthday (50) by running the Reading Half Marathon! Here's what he had to say:
"Huge thanks to all those who donated to my sponsorship page www.justgiving.com/davidjcrosby to help me fundraise for Breast Cancer Care!
As promised, I ran the Reading Half Marathon last Sunday 3rd April on my 50th birthday, wearing race number 50 which the race organisers kindly issued me. I was chuffed with my chip time of one hour 48 minutes and 30 seconds (1:48:30), given that I ran two half marathons in training but only managed 2:04:51 and 2:05:26.
I raised £415 plus £93.75 Gift Aid, which will pay for 102 Breast Cancer Care information resource packs for people newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
Next stop is the Great North Run on 11th September!
Many thanks again for your support."
Well done David-great work and Happy 50th!
This coming weekend members Tim Cox, Susie Casebourne and Sharon Dickson take on the mighty SDW50. Get out and cheer them on if you can. Good luck all. Follow them live here:

James & Lorna with Lydd 20 mile medals
18th March 2016
Members went 'long' last weekend with Lorna Cotter and James Graham tackling Lydd 20 miles, while Sharon Dickson tackled the tough Moyleman Marathon.
Both events were being held for the second year and continue to grow and develop. Lydd 20 is pancake flat and a great event for those, like Lorna, training for the London Marathon in April. The runners can practise running at their own pace whilst competing in a crowd and also test out their nutrition ahead of the marathon.
James is in the process of raising funds for The Sara Lee Trust by clocking up over 59 miles (barefoot) in a four week period with Hastings Half to go this Sunday.
The Moyleman is a very tough off road event held in the hills around Lewes on the South Downs. With beautiful scenery and a pint of Harvey's beer at the end this event is set to become very popular! Sharon, already a seasoned runner, is one of our newest members and likes nothing more than running on the trails around Sussex.
Results were: Lorna 3:40:21 James 3:42:12 Sharon 4:43:49

Alex, Martyn, Dan, Ewan, Tim & Susie with the Juniors 'bling'!
22nd February 2016
Yesterday saw the final race in the ESSSCCL at Pett. The club have been well supported this year and finished in a creditable 8th place out of 12. Congratulations to all who took part especially Susie Casebourne who won an award for placing 3rd in her age group. Alex, Dan, Ewan & Tim were mad enough to run the Alex Hall 5km then drive over to Pett to compete in the cross country too! They also accepted trophies won by our Juniors at the end of series award ceremony. All the results (yesterday and overall) can be found here. Take time to visit the Junior Events page to read about their outstanding success.
Also held yesterday was the club's Alex Hall Memorial 5km on Bexhill promenade. Very well supported by Alex's family and friends, the race was truly a celebration of all that Alex enjoyed about being a member of the club and running along 'his' seafront! Everyone seemed to enjoy the event even though the weather was extremely challenging with a very strong wind! Full results and pictures (courtesy of Mike Stokes) can be found here.
This from Dave Oxbow and the committee:

Thanks go to everyone involved Runners, Marshall's, Helpers, Spectators, Cake bakers,
all played a massive part in making this event a success, despite some reports
of somewhat inclement conditions around part of the course, (can't say we
noticed at the start/finish area!!!!) I think/hope everyone was pleased how things
went on the day. So pleased to see Lorraine, Alexander, and Victoria, as well as
many friends and relations who all came to support this event.
Alex was, and is a massive part of our club, and it was great to have so many
club members, both old and new there supporting this event, as well as those
who knew and remembered Alex so fondly."

Where's Tim?
10th February 2016
Tim Cox posted an amazing time of 19:57 (6th overall) at his first attempt in the Hastings Parkrun on 23rd January! Judging by the picture he should've started in the front line up!
A regular entry into this free event (perhaps once a month) is a great way to measure your training progress.
Andy Bishop is a regular over at the Eastbourne Parkrun. Find out about Parkruns here. You just need to register to obtain a barcode and go to whichever one you like.

Several adult and junior members took part in Danny Garbett's cross country run starting at St Bede's on Sunday 24th January. Some very good times were run in very murky conditions. Results TBC. Pictures in the Gallery. The next one in Danny's series is on 28th February. Registration at the cafe near St Bede's Eastbourne from 8:15 am.
The 5th in the ESSCCL took place at Firle Beacon on Sunday 31st January. Very strong results from BRT adults and Juniors and Ewan's birthday too! Results were: Dan Marshman 37:06 Martin Reynolds 40:00 Tim Cox 40:12 Alex Mandryko 40:27 Susie Casebourne 41:10 Alistair Marshman 44:40 Ewan Carradine 44:40 Andy Croft 57:12 See Juniors for their results. The last event in the series is at Pett on the 21st February. Unfortunately this clashes with the Alex Hall Memorial 5km but the club will have a strong field in both races.
With the Alex Hall race in mind, please let Chris know if you can marshal. We are reintroducing the tradition of home made cakes for the runners so if you can supply some please also let Chris know.
Tim Cox competed in the Arc of Attrition race in Cornwall last weekend. A gruelling 100 mile run at the best of times, Tim hit the worst of times due to a raging storm. So fierce were the winds that the local anemometer was blown away-hence the wind speed could not be recorded! Tim successfully ran 78 miles before he abandoned his valiant attempt. Tim is safe in the knowledge that he completed this inaugural race last year. I suspect his goal was therefore to gain a faster time rather than just finish.
There is a lesson for us all here. Unless you push yourself outside of your comfort zone you will never know what you can achieve. Never fear failure. The success for Tim was completing 78 miles in a race where 73% of competitors pulled out. When an event doesn't go to plan a person will gain far more experience and learn so much more to take forward into future challenges than the fleeting moment of a successful event. So whether you enter your first 5km, triathlon or 100 miler give it your best - you will never lose! Very well done Tim.
There is a great blog here by a competitor who ran alongside Tim for some of the course which describes the atrocious conditions.

Last weekends Hastings Parkrun was a family celebration for Cathy Bate. Not only was Cathy celebrating a significant birthday (sure she won't mind me mentioning 60 years young!) but three of her brothers ran too! Cathy ran yet another pb (The icing on the cake you could say!) Cathy's time of 25:58 puts her 2nd in her age group (only 3 secs from top-no pressure Cathy!) on the Hastings Parkrun leaderboard over the 40 weeks it has been in existence. There to run and cheer on Cathy were Ewan Carradine who ran an impressive 21:09 and Lorna Cotter who recorded 30:26.

Birthday girl Cathy & family
