10.5 miles done yesterday, went quite quick done in 1.27 so should be good for Sunday...............it was abit windy too though a fairly flat route. What did you do Rod? Will do a little run five maybe tomorrow and then three or four Thursday. Working Friday am then up in the afternoon to Prudhoe..........see Mo Farah is turning up on the GNR weekend.
Have a good week all.
Thats a decent run Mark, I had a more than decent Swineshead 10, an undulating course with a fair bit of wind especially mile 2, did 77.35 @ 7.42more than pleased with that, gym tomorrow, 7 miles with Kim on Wednesday, club race 4.6 miles "steady" Thursday then on to Newcastle. I feel decent know and am as prepared as I can be though not exactly where I want to be.
Roll on SUnday.........looking forward to it now.............great run Rod you are on for a good run..........have a safe week.
If you aim at nothing you'll hit it everytime.
Did a nice 4.44 miles yesterday lunch in the windy sunshine in 37.5 mins feeling good.........reasonably fit, not as good as last year but should be okay to chase Rod round. I think 1.55 is possible depending on the wind and traffic............
Have a good Wednesday all..............got half a day off to do some jobs and then working Thursday and Friday am then heading up the M1 to the north.
7.49-8.13-8.04-8.01-8.35-8.12-8.18-8.28-9.15-8.46-8.46-8.41-8.06-1.35
1.50.25 for the 13.13 miles......
Quite happy with the GNR this year much better than last year though overheated in the middle miles but rained on the last mile so that helped......great run generally considering the year I have had.
Well done to Rod excellent run.
You boys did great at the GNR, really well done and Mark so good to see you back on your feet! How is the back holding up?
I've entered Bedford half and started my 12 week schedule. Did 33 miles last week so feeling ahead of the game a bit and enjoying getting back into some structured running and having some focus.
Great to see some of you guys back after the summer, must be the dark nights got you back in front of the computer.
i've been a bit lazy since GNR, went out to do 8 Tuesday but did 4.5 then had a guiness and a bag of crisps in the bar, scrubbed the training yesterday as well, 8 miles tonight though and Oxford half marathon Sunday
Pinks 33 miles is really good you are on top
you have more than enough potential i would recommend a couple of 10 mile races to get your pace faster, the one i did sure helped me, Lee did ok by the looks.
Just been out in the lovely sunshine for a 5.83 miler along the trail, back in 48.33 mins......legs a bit tight from a big cycle ride on Saturday...............good to hear Rod had another good half at the weekend, well done to him.
yes it was ok and I got our ladies round in sub 2 hours which I'm chuffed about.
Got the Specialised Elite out today and have ridden in to work the long way, had a ride at lunch and riding the long way home. What a lovely day!! Might have a swim tonight and see if I can drown trying to do the crawl stroke. Whats next Rod? Need to do another half soon me thinks. Might just do one with my daughter round here on the tops.
Have a good evening............
Had a terrible toothache mark for the last 2 weeks even after a trip to the dentist which I don't like.
anyway they have put me on ab's and it has to come out sadly, even at GNR it hurt but the receptionist at the dentist had told me to come back in 6 months rather than in a week to get it diagnosed so I have had 3 weeks of pain for nothing. Still off to the gym now for the first time in 2 weeks......
Had a run last night in the dark, dreadful, wont run in the dark again, no street lights in Derbyshire Peak District, just missed the sunset at the top of the hill as too late and the pasta hadn't gone down so a waste really. Never mind. ON the road bike this morning enjoyed the ride in with mist and sunshine everywhere. Might have to venture out at lunch. We are moving offices in a couple of months and they are putting in a shower so that will be good for training during the winter months for lunch time runs.
Hope the tooth eases off Rod.
Apologies to Facebook users my account has been hacked so if you get any dodgey messages they are not from me I have deactivated it for now as I dont have a smart phone anyway.
Hello there - hope all is well with everyone.
Took a few weeks off from running but strated back this week and trying to get fit for some cross country during the wonter months.
Am I better with trail shoes or spikes?
