MrMr2 my targets are much lower than they used to be, today's was put trainers on, the run was an added bonus.
Hobie hopefully that back is healing quickly.
Donnie that sounds like a good race, I think it is the price which has put me off in previous years, and the fact for some unknown reason Yorkshire can be quite hot in August 😀
DH well done on that 700.
Target one met: trainers on, even added a run!
YTD: 662.15
Got home just as the call was coming through from Brazil; our relative passed away in hospital this morning.
Now my wife's brother has to come to terms with his wife's death, in addition to his daughter's.
Well done to the 700 mile club!
YTD: 502' .
> Congrats on the 700, DH! Almost there myself.
4 miles, you can knock that out today
Sadly its a certain rest day for me now, felt some twinges back in my ankle after ligament injury so it's ice ice baby for me today and see how it is tomorrow. Nothing major this time being cautious
Hoping to get double day runs in for the next week, the beauty of dual nationality is that my family have been able to travel home to Ireland as the Taoiseach has opened up for vaccinated citizens and visitors and UAE is not red list, unlike if we travelled to the UK with its higher rate of infection and deaths.
31.7 4.18
1.8 3.53
2.8 4.04 and 4.04
3.8 3.3 and 4.27
4.8 5.04 (hydration pack on but it was 42 degrees)
YTD 1155.03 miles
Not disheartened by yesterday's 10 mile slow run. Feeling well recovered and went out for a 'brisk' 5k.
Happy to go under 30mins again.
YTD: 505' .
3 miles recovery this morning, then my 5 mile trail race in the evening. I struggled with the technical second mile and the mud that had appeared on course since the last race, but the fact it was 7 degrees cooler meant for a much better run from me and it was 2 minutes quicker than last time, even if it was still rather slower than in 2019. Still finding my form but it does seem to be returning.
8 miles total, so over the 700 mark.
YTD: 704
Runstreak day 218 5.14 miles
YTD 1160.17 miles
Well done on 700 Cal, and other milestones.
Tried a run last night at running club...hour commute home from work was very uncomfortable on the back but running felt good...I may advertise it on line as a cure for sore backs, covid & a poor wifi signal.
1181 miles YTD
Cal: 700 and counting quickly. Well done and form returning in time for the autumn events.
Since the York 10k last Sunday, I did a rather sore 5 miles on Monday and a more comfortable 5 on Wed.
Ytd: 829.2
Still keeping ahead of me..
YTD: 714
5.35 and 10k on the treadmill so 6.21
YTD 1171.73 miles
YTD: 720
Cal are you having to do the stress test? If so mention you are a runner and say what your 5km pace is, otherwise you may be there.for a long time as they try to increase your HR enough.
Couple of runs to log, and both were not in rain!
Decided to pull out of Yorkshire Marathon, not an easy decision but the right one.
YTD: 673.05
Ran my 10K race today (after running three miles there as a warm-up). I aimed to do a steady pace to gauge where I'm at and finished in 55:22. That's a long way from where I was before lockdown and injuries, but it's a start.
YTD: 729
TT...Sorry that you have decided to pull out of Yorkshire. I'm still hoping to have a marathon ready by then!??
Hobie... Hope that your back will be up to full strength, soon.
Cal... You should be pleased with that 10km, at this stage of recovery.
Tried a 'walk-run' 10km yesterday. Worked out quite well. 5kms were 31 and 32mins, so 63mins for 10km. One of my best times since February! Approx 1min walk and 4 mins run. Just a slight groin discomfort. So, still some way to go.
YTD: 511' .
MrMr2 it's the long runs I am struggling with, up to 9/10 I am fine, then I just lose it. I think it is more mental but I am going to build up a good base then look at next year. One of the local clubs is putting on their HM in October, starts and ends on Brid prom!
A brick this morning.
YTD: 677.25
Cal hope you are doing ok as well with the ticker, hope they get you in soon with the waiting lists...
26km in 2 runs over the weekend, feel like I'm getting back to the point I was at 4 months ago
YTD 728 miles / 1172 Kms
Rain even stopped in the hills, so it was a bit warm.
1201 miles YTD
MM: Maybe not quite what you'd like, but a 'best time since February' is never to be sniffed at.
Last summer life was work, run, water my greenhouse (which isn't any sort of euphemism) and sleep. I liked being able to run most days. This year as thing return, running is getting a little squeezed. Two since last Wednesday, 10k on Sunday morning before going to a friends 60th birthday 'do' and 5 miles after work last night making
YTD: 841.0
dh - yeah my next appointment is September 10th so not too long to wait.
A 5 mile plod today - heavy legs so went easy. Sleep was terrible last week and while it was better last night, it has obviously impacted my recovery as I should have felt better than I did given the lack of a long run on Sunday. Hopefully I'll be perkier tomorrow.
YTD: 734
Not this year though!! Mile 800 coming up next week as I haven’t dipped below 20 per week since I started in Feb. <div>
</div><div>Do you guys scale it back in winter? I plan on reducing my mileage to just 10-15 per week come late October. Two runs max, possibly just LSR. </div><div>
</div><div>Will that make for feeling fresh in spring or should I try to keep the mileage a little higher?</div>
You'll definitely get your 1000 at this rate.
11 miles today - legs had no speed but I had the stamina at least.
YTD: 745
</div><div>I feel back to normal today but now I’m entering a period where I have 3 races on Aug 21st, Sept 19th and Oct 24th. So it’ll be a strange combo of mileage tapering and spiking for the next 3 months.
My spreadsheet has me on 765 but I’m probably over 800 as I don’t tend to record intervals, hill repeats or the lazy days I head out and end up walking parts.

Hobie a race, wonderful.
Swift brick this morning before heading out. Running after spin class is becoming easier (not easy!)
YTD: 683.02
Ytd:849.1
Thanks Cal, TT, it's one of my favourite events, so pleased that it happened, the little village it's held in all muck in to make it fabulous & friendly.
Another trail run today in the hills above Aberystwyth...cafe does the best vegan carrot cake.
1208 miles YTD
