Oh and my 5mls cross country race came up a little short I had the distance at 4.5mls finished in 31 minutes, not too bad considering the head wind we had to contend with at time.
P.s...... Dutch southern Hampshire hey? I do most of my training out in the New Forest.
5.25M Fartlek . Hard Session, but thats th very point of my Fartlek sessions.
Welcome Tuzki.
Dutch: Good 5k ing
Jamie: That sounds a hard session.
9 mile easy run last night in approx 80 mins.
Legs felt a bit heavy from the previous session but loosened up and turned out to be not a bad run.
Just under 8 miles in 1hr 13 minutes which seemed quite an easy pace. A nice wind today which made it more bearable.
Good news SR! Well done
Tuzki, I wish most of my running was in the New Forest! I'mfurther east North of Portsmouth
Will do the NF 10M this weekend though
Me: 8.5M and, just couldn't help myself, some speedwork. 6X785m in quicker than 5k pace.
I'm mastering the LSRs just fine at the moment but wish I could bring my 5k/10k/1/2M times a bit further down on the back of the mileage so am injecting more speedwork.
Morning,
An easy recovery 4,25M for me this morning. Legs heavy.Felt tired
Well done SR and good to have you back swittle.
Jamie:Good run
4.3 miles this morning. My legs felt heavy and tired too! I have only had one rest day in 7 days so I do feel tired this week.
Glad that you are ok and back out again SR.
Good morning everyone!!
5 miles easy for me round the local meadows.
Got another tough session tonight, can't say I'm looking forward to it but have a day off tomorrow so every cloud and all that.
morning people,
quiet 7M in the pouring rain.
Ready for Sundays 10M race now.
Last nights run was an easy paced 13.3 miles in 1:53on a warm but breezy evening, probably do around half that distance tonight and have a rest day on Saturday.
Birkmye : thanks nice to be hereDutch: Good luck on the NF10 on Sunday, hope the weather is kind for you. Its not a race I have done yet even though it is on my doorstep
Have a great weekend everyone
6 & 1/2 miles for me on the treadmill earlier, as well as cross training, weights and swimming. It was a good work out.
I am too running the New Forest 10 on Sunday. Though I suspect I will be a lot slower then Dutch.
Nice relaxed Friday evening run/jog 8.1 miles in 1:15 out in the New Forest.
Good luck for sunday in the NF10 SR..... I sure you will give Dutch a run for his money.
7 & 1/2 miles on treadmill for me earlier. Also cross training, weights and an hours swim while at the gym. Now feel ready for tomorrows race.
Dutch & SR, Good luck today.
5.5 miles at just under 9 mm pace. 5 mile race on Tuesday so didnt want to go any further. I think I should get in the early 39s based on my recent 10K time.
Rest day tomorrow but will check back later to see how the 10 mile race went for you both.
Hello people!
Back from the New Forest 10M, a friendly well organised race through the New Forest,
in majority (I think) over paths, with a number of gentle undulations.
Went round in 1:05:29 (on my clock). Pleased with that. Negative split (5M in 33:02), and felt quite strong throughout.
Good luck on Tues Alib! I reckon you should be ok for a low 39 if the course is flat and circumstances are good. After breaking 50min over 10k you'll probably find that you can 'attack' a 5M a bit more.
Dutch: you are fast!!!
It took me 1:17 to get round. Enjoyed myself though and also agree it is a well organised event.
Good luck Tuesday Alib.

No run for me to report today, felt a little off colour so took a second rest day
Good morning people.
Friday run was pretty tough, 3 miles warm up then 45 mins continuous running alternating between marathon pace and tempo pace for 3 mins each rep.
LSR yesterday was around 12 miles, around 95 mins ish.
Nice run Birkmyre, you're legs are gonna feel that session!!
Dutch : Excellent run, thats a seriously good time.
Dutch, SR: Well done! Those times are Great!
The course is similar to the last 10 K one and it seems to have cooled down here a bit so hopefully I should be ok.
Cranleigh Tortoise and Hare 10km y'day. Nice little event, would run it again.
My performance stank. My second ever 10km race having started running 20 weeks ago. 01:00:30 so 6 minutes slower than my first 10km of a few weeks ago. I'd only managed 2 x 5km very gentle jogs in the last 10 days having mildly torn something in my calf training for this one. Calf was fine on the day. It was hot, it was humid, I took on water as I'm a sweater and I couldn't find any rhythm after the water stations, fell apart mentally after 6km with all the little doubts in my head willing me to give up "too old, too hot, too fat, too slow, not done enough training" getting far too loud and then tripped going up a bank at about 7km and winded myself. Struggled to 8km. Whereas in training I've picked things up a bit at this point y'day my legs and head just said "Forget it" and I coasted to a walk. Bullied myself into restarting by looking at my watch and trying to get around in less than an hour. Failed.
and I got blisters despite using gear that has worked fine before.
I guess I need to work on the mental side of this running lark and get better at in-race hydration.
AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
