Did 12.10 miles yesterday (Dubai Runner - you must be a psychic - doing that extra 0.4 miles to stay ahead - lol) at a little faster speed than I expected and have not died (yet) so will see if I can keep it up over the weekend.
YTD = 65.47 miles
Some more 'must-run' weather today! January sunshine, by the sea. Everyone behaved themselves except for Left ITB which wanted to make a fuss, but I ignored it and it settled down! Another 12' with some significant hills (Chines), so very happy to finish with an o'all pace of 9:40/mile (6min/km) . Must put in some easier miles next.
YTD: 45'.
TT,good luck with your HM on Sunday.I've heard lots of good reports about that race .
9.01 - 6
YTD - 39.55
YTD 71.67 miles
Car got all sorted (eventually) bloke that owns the company that dropped the tree on it was pretty reasonable.
Wet and windy 13 miles today...quite an adventure.
48 miles YTD
YTD 76.08 miles
Just a nice muddy 5.2 this morning.
YTD 28.3
Then today, another 20 miler, bringing this week's total to 54.
YTD: 80
Hope TT has enjoyed York HM today, it might make my list for next year.
Ytd: 21.4 + 8.2 + 3.1 = 32.7
So to today! Well the wind forecast was fortunately downgraded and it turned into a gentle breeze. However the rain was a little bit more challenging for the first 30 mins, then in true Yorkshire style the sun started to come out! A runner from Lytham St Anne's did remark he was not expecting so much rain on this side of the country.
Very well organised, lots and lots of marshals, first aid stations, three very well populated water stations and the very warm York race course to warm up in and rest at the end. Bag drop well planned and very efficient! What more can a runner ask for? Only negative did sell out in about 45 mins.
Managed a post surgery PB (had major reconstructive hip surgery in September 2017) of 1 47 39 which qualifies me to apply for a GFA place for the 2021 NY marathon, better start saving!!
YTD 61.06
Cal, The Clair park Parkrun would be my local, as I am just a couple of miles away, I use to walk across it every morning to catch the train, however I agree the course is narrow and hilly and personally I think either East Grinstead or Tilgate Park, Crawley, which has a nice lake to run around would be better (just my opinion though) Great weekly mileage, and a few of you nearly at the 100 mark already!
Well done on the "long run Friday" Donnie.
David, I like to try different ones. Did East Grinstead in the summer. Apparently it's a mudfest in winter, which I wanted to avoid! Haven't done Tilgate yet - I'll get to it, but waiting for the January rush to die down, which it hasn't shown any signs of doing yet.
5k on the treadmill to add making 35.8
Cal... another challenging parkrun, and another 20! You must soon be ready for a cut-back week? The 'January rush' is still much in evidence here too (Poole still over 1000, and Bournemouth still over 600!)
Donnie... All the best for your Fridays resolution.
TT... Well done on your performance at York. Had you been looking to qualify for NY?
Hadn't planned to run 16' today, but more January sunshine, and a rash promise to my daughter; to match her fund-raising challenge. ( To mark her charity's 25th anniversary she has proposed running 25 x 25 km distances this year.)
YTD: 61' and a 40' week. Now, what did I say about some easier miles...?
15.04 miles this morning, a warm up, a 1.57 half and a cool down. Although I never warmed up, it was only 20 degrees and a bit of a breeze. Felt cold.
YTD 91.12 miles
TT, well done on your post op PB. You did well to bag a place with a 45 minute sell out.
Hobie,glad to hear that your car situation has been resolved.
Donnie,good luck with your long run Friday.
Good mileage Dubai,MrM2 and Cal.
11.01 - 5.2
12.01 - 10.2
YTD - 54.95
YTD = 90.97 miles
Dubai - I guess you've really adjusted to that climate. 20 is uncomfortably warm for me. Nice job on the 15.
15 miles for me today - I normally do my MLR later in the week but the weather for tomorrow looks rubbish. Took it at an easy pace and it felt mostly OK - small knee twinge in the first mile (which I put down to the downhills at Clair parkrun - knee has grumbled after downhills before) and achey hammy much later, though that's pretty normal for me so I'm not concerned.
YTD: 95
Just another 5.5 this morning, a hard interval session.
YTD = 33.8
Harmander I do hope you are okay? Has your physio said what it is?
A very, very lazy but highly enjoyable 8.16 miles this morning, hit the only part of the morning when it was not raining and the sun actually came out. One of those I am glad I am fit enough to run, runs.
YTD 69.22
I had seen the doctor who got my X-rays done on my chest (which showed nothing broken) but it seems the left knee cap must have hit the pavement pretty hard and only after a few days there is a reaction. I managed the 15 miles on Sunday but it was painful yesterday - I went out for another 10.48 miles today and it was annoying me lots.
Still managed a faster time pace than I will be expected o do in the Big Half on 1st March and the VLM - will see how it goes in the marathon a week before to be sure.
YTD = 101.45 miles
Over the weekend I flagged up my 'longer run Friday' idea, fallen at the first hurdle, this week its 'longer run a week on Wednesday'! Genuine circumstances.
Ytd: 42.9
Cal... good idea to cut back a little before your Half.
Harmander... Well done on the 100'; hope you'll soon be up to full strength!
Thought that there was more to lose than gain by going out in today's weather, so I did a rare 'treadmill 10k'. Found it surprisingly enjoyable; hitting the higher paces, then easing back before speeding up again. Despite the slow, walk warm-up, finished in 56:30 which is close to 9 min/mile pace. Happy.
YTD: 67'.
Harmander hopefully you will be back running pain free very soon.
And on a completely different note, if you want a rest day activity saw 1917 yesterday, brilliant film (and I have nothing to do with it!!)
YTD: 77.22
YTD: 106
Still going well Cal.
15.1 3.33
16.1 9.03
YTD 103.48 miles
MrM2,I've only reached 4 and a bit miles on a treadmill before jacking it in because of boredom.
Harmander, hope your knee is feeling better.
Cal,Dubai and Harmander, well done on passing 100 already.
Watched 1917 at the weekend,would recommend it.
15.01 - 4.75
YTD - 59.7
Weather over her has been properly minging this week so haven't managed too many miles, but have included circuits in my training this year so a run to & from there on a Wednesday helps and body feels a bit more flexible.
Race number for Llanelli Half arrived the other day so need to get a couple of long ones in...hopefully tomorrow as I appear to be working the weekend.
54 miles YTD
