Keen to hear how all racers have got on this weekend.
I've enjoyed the Stansted Slog, a 13M off road event in quiet countrylike West Sussex. Wonderful event that deserves more publicity than it gets.
Went round in 1.35.40. Hard work, but great fun. very pleased.
I did 7m yesterday. Half trail and half road with a couple of bloody big hills. I've only been running since March and I'm not brave (or fast) enough to share times yet!
Easy run for me this morning and felt rotten from start to finish !
Gazagirl: Well done. Don't worry about not sharing any times . You're out runnng, thats all that matters.
A very wet 10 mile run yesterday morning! When I had finished my feet looked like I had been sat with them in water for ages! I didnt want to do it as I had a cold but had to stick to the HM plan. It took me 1 hour 38 minutes so a bit slower. Not exactly on track to get a HM time of under two hours but first one so have nothing to beat!
Ran the inaugural Farnham Pilgrim Marathon yesterday. This is a hilly trail course running between Farnham and Guildford. Very impressed with this race and would be impossible to fault it in anyway.
Ran it in 3:55, which as I was aiming for a sub 4 am pleased with. This gave me a position of 35th out of 253.
Nice one Solent Runner! I was wondering which Marathon you referred to earlier.Good placing! Clearly those long runs are paying off.
Nice going Hunts, SJM, Birkmyre, Alib and Gazagirl as well.
It's all about going out there and doing it!
Well done SR! Great time and position!
Only three miles for me today! I usually do a circuit training class on a Monday but decided to start breaking in my new running shoes. 7 mile tempo planned for tomorrow.
5km speed session around a windy lake ! 17.45 , felt great !
Cracking run this morning !
As good as yesterdays was awful.
Did a 4.5M Fartlek and' it just flowed'. Legs heavy now though.
SR: Well done on the Marathon.
Jay: Thats quick for a 5k session.
alib: Keep it going.
10k at Woburn for BHF finished in 1:03
Disappointed to go over 1hr but was first time at the 10k. Have signed up for another 10k in November so expect that PB to get smashed! Got a 5k PB at Parkrun on Saturday (27:45) so legs were a bit heavy on the Sunday. (My excuse and i'm sticking to it)
Hit the pavements for 5 miles last night. Not pushing myself as still recovering form Sunday's race, so took about 45 mins. Also hit the swimming pool for an hour's front crawl.
Feels like my legs are coming back to life, which is a good thing as have another marathon to run Sunday!
last run was a disaster. Took the poorly knee out for a run again yesterday as it hadn't been poorly for a couple of days, and got a mile out with no pain so though I would be ok. Typically it decided to hurt when I was two miles from home with no shortcut option. Was in a hurry to get home too or i'd have been late to work, so carried on jog/walking home and was in a lot of pain by the time I got home. Made it to physio yesterday afternoon and he uttered the dreaded phrase 'ITBS'. Now on cross training only for time being and have very bruised ITBS where he pummeled it to release it.
Good luck with everyone's running over the next few weeks, I shall be living my running life vicariously through you all!
Hope your knee is ok soon Hanna. It sounds painful.
Last nights run didnt go as planned. I went off route by mistake and took my 10k route instead of 7 miles. It would have been done in 55 minutes but I saw my mum and her friends about 1 mile from home so had to stop, for 10 minutes! Total time 1hr 5 minutes. Rest day today.
Sorry to hear that Hanna.....
Hope it gets better soon
Solent Runner: That's is pretty soon after the Pilgrim's M'ton! what are your plans/ambitions for this one?
3.5M Steady Through the falling rain and trying to avoid puddles. Easier said than done
Deadstar:Good to get back.
hi to everyone
my last training yesterday afternoon after 05 pm only 30 mins speedy park and street too. on sunday i'm going to run my 10k official race with my runners friends.
good run
enrico
Got home early yesterday as a course I was on finished early, made the most of it and done 9.3 miles in 1hr 10mins
6 miles in 59 minutes. Went out in my new running shoes again. They feel comfortable but heavy! I have put them on the kitchen scales and they weigh less than the others. Maybe they are just going to take some getting used to!
