Hi, New to all of this and this looked like a good thread to start off with.
27/11/11 3.3 mile
Did my first proper run in months last night and it felt so good. Portsmouth sea front, waves crashing against the shore, dark with just the street lamps and not a soul around.The kind of run that makes you realise why you run!
hopefully back on track to get up a running schedule again
WillRun4Wine: welcome to the thread and yes runs along the coast are nice.
Dutch: have you thought of entering North Dorset Village Marathon again next year as well as Brighton?
7.5 miles for me in 1:15 on treadmill.
Just 6.5 miles tonight.
I wont run again now until the run/walk on Saturday. No time expectations and lots of stops at the checkpoints for food & drinks.
A quiet 9M, but felt tired and niggly. Maybe I should have left it a bit longer.
Solent: no, I'm leaving the Dorset M'ton alone next year! Hope Brighton will go better for me.
Sqwark: oh dear, I hope things improve soon.
7 & 1/2 miles for me on treadmill in 1:18, but that did include a toilet break.
10km with acouple of 5 min efforts in the middle - otherwise recovery pace.
Around the Whiston area. Not too much in the way of stunning scenery.
Blustery but not cold (not quite hat weather).
10km around Halewood and Woolton. Couple of short sharp hills and 5 or 6 x 150m sprints. Enjoyed a bit of cooling rain throughout. Not too cold (although gloves got an outing) - no hat required.
I am enjoying running garmin-free at the moment and just running by how I feel rather than worrying about pace
I haven't posted on here for quite a while, but thought I might start again...
5.5 miles for me at lunch-time around St James Park, along the Serpentine in Regent Park, and then round Green Park in London. Nice run, did it without my Garmin (because I forgot it!), and just ran easy for the first 4.5 miles, and then increased the pace for the last mile trying to catch up two runners who had passed me a bit earlier
Swittle - I always used to enjoy running along the Crosby prom, past the baths and up to Burbo Bank.. happy memories for me
Good work, Paco. Are you at Princes parkrun Saturday? I'm planning to go.
YoungPup - I usually run on the prom 3 or 4 times a week but it's a little dark just before 7am at the moment! FYI, 60 000 tons of sand has been moved from the stretch between the Marina & Crosby Baths to shore up sea defences near the boat club at Hightown. Quite a job!
Ops haven't posted for awee while on here, apologies.
Yesterday was an easy 3M, today a steady 4M Cold out,. No wind.
swittle - see you there
I think a rest day today
Well done Swittle and Birkmyre and others!
Me; I am bit niggly at the moment. Suspect sundays 10M race took it out of me more than I thought. Quiet 5km this morning, just to stretch the legs.
Tried running this morning, but evidently it was too soon. After 0.25 of a mile my calf went into spasm again!
I should have given it a week, I suppose........
Marshalled at Princes Parkrun - torrential rain and cold breeze during the run - but not a bad turnout considering the weather.
Warmed myself up afterwards by doing 3 easy paced laps of the Park (just over 3 miles). Rain held off and I warmed up (a little).
Good to get home and have a hot shower.
X country tomorrow - weather forecast is poor!
24.5 mile hilly cross country run today. We ran at a relaxed pace and walked and got round in just under 5 hours.
Not feeling too bad at the moment but I have a feeling that I my struggle down the stairs tomorrow morning...
