Is that the sound of a trumpet being blown I can hear?!
Speaking of Roger Bannister, I'm reading 3:59.4 at the minute, very inspirational / interesting reading, sounds like the 4minue mile would have been broken long before Bannister if professionalism hadn't been banned.
There's loads of local races ET, they're called fell races.
its My trumpet and i am going to blow it hard and LOUD!
ET - your sense of humour does tickle me though!
So you`re not going to give it your all?!
And doing 4 in 4 means that you cannot be`giving it your all`!
I did Sheff half and Bosa with OH and loved it. Definitely not `my all` but reinforced my love of running!
lol! And I started it! I know it`s ok though because GI never gets wound up!nope takes alot more to get me to lose it.
the 4in4days were ran at full race pace for the distance and i got gradually faster as they went. they were a 4.2mile fell, 3mile urban(gay according to didd/stu), a 3mile road and the trunce (3.81 fell race).
I cant think what it means
Baz?
Might give that a try
Cake still loves you then?
Phew! Glad i've not registered then
Good luck Mozzy Major, Hope he's not too embarrased by his mum!
Straightest of the straight race - easy Bronte (Point to Point got to be straighter than a race where you finish where you started)
No parkrun tomorow saving my self for the TT plus working in the afternoon did think about going to Barnsley parkrun then work but I would have been at work for 10 a bit earlier for an afternoon shift. Will do the Barnsley Parkrun after a night shift should wake me up for the drive home.
Me Mozster has X country this morning - did I mention?
Morning dudes
Feck all interesting to say so I'll nob off.
Gotta fuel up me boy
Sending lots of speedy park run vibes
Morning
Good Luck Mozster
Good luck to the parkrunners today ( a bit late I know) also good luck to all those involved in the first Barnsley parkrun this morning.
6 or 7 miles to do this morning then work this afternoon
Morning!
Hope it`s gone well for Moz and the parkrunners.
I`m `getting ready` by washing clothes for a tiny baby that we`ve dug out from the attic.
Anyone want to be in a film? Had a request for runners from someone shooting a film in Millhouses next Saturday. They reckon it won`t take long and might be a laugh!
I finished 101st in 33min at todays parkrun.
Nice run along Chesterfield Canal this morning 8 mile in total in around 70 mins. No niggles no pains running felt easy. Saw a couple of other runners who seemed dressed for the middle of winter with hats gloves etc I just had shorts and trusty HH dryfit and was plenty warm enougth.
Highlight of run was a male manderian duck at Turnerswood last saw one at that location nearly exactly a year ago (link to pic from last year)
Quite pleased with this weeks running, feels like the training year starts from now.
Cracking Parkrun today
Good to see Baz, LP and GIRO - flying past at 100m per hour as he was late
Tight hamstrings though so took it easy (25.37) - lots of stretching today then
Yeah the 5 relates to how many more points than Newcastle Sunderland have in the league at the moment and 5 + 1 = 6 which gives Sunderland's league position.
Nice parkrun this morning. Hoping to see a time under 24 minutes as I felt pretty good.
lol!
Glad the parkrun went well. How did LP do?
Good running Riggsy and Len. Not that cold is it?
Did 4 miles recovery but felt lead-legged.I`m using the GIRO taper for Bosa. I`ve done a run every day for the past 5 daysand been to the gym twice.
Barnsley Park Run for me today. 2 miles there, a steady plod round in 22 mins or so and a steady 2 back gives me a nice 7 for the day.
Brass Monkey tomorrow. Plan there is to have a steady one, prob somewhere between 1'30 and 1'35ish. I'm prob in sub 1'25 shape but a long way off PB shape. So I'm being cautious and bearing the big picture in mind. A 1'27 or a 1'37 is neither here nor there for me tomorrow - it's all about getting some miles in with minimal risk of injury, so the lid will be firmly kept on I think. Be good to go and see a few folk though and catch up with friends
Got 'marders' from the sub-3 thread staying with me tonight. I think his target tomorrow is sub-65 mins!!
I remember the days of 22 mins being a plod for 5K
Good to see you back running properly again LS21.
How about regularly then?
23:27 for me this morning
Goal from now on is to try and get and then keep my times under my average which is currently 23:23.
A storming 32:49 for GIRO. He looked so happy at the finish to have (finally
) broken the 33 minute barrier.
I was a massive 1'35 off my PB this morning
If I can be bothered I may do the Grindleford to Great Longstone leg of the GG in the morning (and back)
Lee - have a good race tomorrow.
Bosa bunch - have a good 10k tomorrow all of you.
Good parkruning there chaps! And Lee - can you actually keep the lid on it in a race? I'm planning on doing that at Bosa 2moz coz I'm a bit niggly
. God it's gonna be difficult.
Me Mozster did it again! Set off like a bat out of hell - all the colour must have drained from my face because on of the dads kept saying - 'He'll be alright Kate - he'll be alright' - He lead from the start and I was screaming 'KEEP IT STEADY - KEEP IT STEADY!' - no need really - he made it look like a piece of piss and won by a mile! Regardless of my 'it's just about taking part and enjoying it' strategy, he was nearly in tears in the car on the way there - told him that we didn't need to go - we could head off to cineworld and see a film instead. But 'Oh mum . . . but then I'll feel awful beacuse I didn't try - I'll have given up!'
. He perked up when he saw his mates and teacher though and from his sprint start he was clearly dead set on winning. Still - healthy I think as he shook all the other boys hands again and streaked off around the course numerous times to cheer his mates in the other races on. Crikey it's stressfull - I need a drink!
Moz - re the keeping a lid on it. What's the point not doing (at present)? I could give it 100% tomorrow which would rapidly heighten my chance of re-injury. And for what, cos I'm unlikely to run much better than 1'25. So a nothing time for me really. It's forgotten about straight away, cos it's way off what I'd aim for if fully fit. 1'35 or 1'25 is just the same outcome for me - forgotten about instantly and counts for nowt. So the plan is to run (or at least do first half with) a mate who's targetting 1'35. It's a no-brainer. I have NOTHING to gain by full-on racing it.
IF I do London I've actually got to the start line in one piece first. So time to run with my head for a bit.
