JT141: hope the ankle improves soon.
Steyning Stinger half marathon for me this morning. Was running over some serious hills on slippery mud/chalk terrain and also rained through out whole race. Some of the hills were so high up, we were in the clouds so to speak and was like mist where you could only see 20-30 feet in front, quite surreal it was. My time was 1:52, so 8:25 m/m, which is a slower pace then training for me, but in those conditions seemed a good effort. Got a cooked breakfast at the end so that helped recovery.
Solent, well done! It was a good effort with those hills and conditions
. What a good idea to get a cooked breakfast at the end, never had that before.
Just 3.5 m intervals for me today... busy weekend, had to squash in a quick run
1:55 so pretty pleased with that.
It was real heavy going, heavy rain didn't let up at all, freezing cold by the 9 mile mark, totally water logged etc... Still, managed to finish so happy as larry
just a steady 4 for me this morning (8.28 pace)
(thats the sllowest i`ve run in weeks)
still,it was blowing a gale out there...must of been the wind or something...
A pre VLM twenty-mile road race, the Trimpell 20, out of Lancaster yesterday. Ideal conditions, flat & well resourced. 2:57:49 and a boost of confidence as a result
I managed a 13.2 mile run this afternoon 1.48 more a less a new PB if only by a lil bit - but it all counts .
So windy out there ! Perhaps I shuda made more of the tail wind when I had it ... the last mile was pure head wind ... cudda walked faster !
Should have a rest day tomora but new running buddy beckons ... only 18kms ... ?!
Can I resist ? well I got no injuries ...... we'll see.
20.3 windy miles today. Hard work in the wind and legs and hip had not recovered from saturdays cross country. Average of 9.50mm pace so a slower than usual but at least we got the miles in. Rest day tomorrow.
Congrats on the race. I am doing the mk marathon in April. Were there many hills?
Thanks
Rest day for me today, speed work at club tomorrow.
My run today was amost completely different from yesterday, and was a flat 7 miles in the sunshine.
The only constant was the wind, which was probably worse today than yesterday, and for some reason seemed to be almost permanently blowing straight at me, and making moving forward at any pace really rather difficult
Luckily, I wasn't trying to move at any real pace, and did 7 slow and steady miles at between 8:45 and 9:00 mins per mile...

Mon 8.40pm - 8.3km (41min)
off road trail - lit by an almost full moon in a clear starlit sky. a bit cooler than it has been.
slow recovery run to stretch some tired legs
well done to Solent, Ross Alexander and swittle - good running
@Surrey Runner -
Nope; it was too bad at all hill-wise, the last mile of the half is advertised as up-hill - but it's nothing really.
It is actually a pretty nice route; would have been a great run save for the weather! I really do hope it's better for you in April!
Afternoon people. Some great running going on here.
Me: 10.7M in 1h25. Undulating route and it felt like hard work.
Cidlad the knees gave up after the 2 treadmill trots so went out on my bike for an 8 miler last Friday (first ride on new Forme). All went well knee wise pitchside on Saturday as I was on and off the pitch throughout the game.
Went out for 3.25 miles in the fields tonight with my faithful running partner Cede the Staffie and the knees were fine again. Hope the weather is good tomorrow so I can get out on my bike again.
Keep up the good running folks, Bobejaan
4m Easy /Steady in wet and windy weather.
First run in a few days.
Wed 6.00am - 14.1km (68min)
fancied an early one as not working today. felt tougher than I expected. last km was in torrential rain - are we mad
..........
good running everyone.
I'm mostly an afternoon runner but due to work committments this week I missed my training run yesterday so went outfirst thing this morning instead. 5 miles in wind and rain on, at times very slippery and certainly very muddy, towpaths. I was definitely slower but not sure if this was down to the mud or the time of day.... probably both.
Will get back to afternoon running methinks.
5 mile tempo last night at 6:45 pace.Missed track on monday so thought better make the effort to go out in the night air..
Wed 7.00pm - 10km slow recovery run (garmin free)
trying out some new racing shoes that I have had for a while but not used - felt quite comfy. Due a bit of speedwork tomorrow
happy running
Good evening, everyone - keep up the impressive running
A wet & windy 5 miles to the Marina & round Crosby Coastal Park at 7am - missed out the prom today: just too wild
SR: Good 12miler
Managed a 4M fartlek this morning. Dry. cold, however no wind.
