Did the parkrun on Saturday and 5 miles on Monday night.
Sunday was the Doncaster 10k. 2,500 people with the racecourse as the event hub. Good event. The main stand at the racecourse is open before and after the event with the finish line on the concourse between the stands and the racetrack. Warm indoors whilst waiting for the start, more toilets than you can shack a stick at, good catering for runners and spectators and free parking on site for everyone and more. Also a potentially very fast course on closed roads.
Before the event I've have more than taken my final time of 47.20 but on reflection felt I missed paced it leaving to much in the tank. Perhaps its an age thing, but I don't think I really hurt myself like I once did.
Event is recommended.
Ytd: 1167.3
Cal: think that the antibiotics and steroids just managed to prevent things going down onto my chest. Still not quite right yet but have managed to get out every day and just crept over the 100 miles for the month target. Just 25k to go for my main target for the year, 2022k.
That must have all been very stressful, Harmander. Hope all is good now.
YTD: 1240.7
Ytd: 1172.3
Not too bad today, though. Did 8 miles.
YTD: 1482
DR sounds like you are on the way back?
Harmander how is everything now?
Well I caught the town cold, not surprised, I meet far too many people in a day to not catch whatever is going round. So two very short jog/run/walk on our TM.
YTD: 936.11 (63.89 in 29 days).
Decided to wear 'legs' instead of shorts for the first time this season. It was about +5 (but feeling like +1)
Looks like there is more of that to come!
A steady 7 miles, close to 10min/mile pace (10:11/mile). Cough almost clear; starting to feel better.
YTD: 1737' .
Back on the TM, it's a lot easier to keep going knowing there is no run back to do.
YTD: 941.34 (58.66 to go in 27 days).
Been a limited running week, England in the world cup was a problem on Tuesday, waiting in Thursday night for an electrician put the end to a run on Thursday and travelling to family did for Friday. Travel and football meaning tomorrow might be a non running day.
Ytd: 1178.5
Nice, Donnie, was that Ipswich parkrun?
Glad you're starting to feel better, MrM2.
Still not 100% here - not sure what's up, just don't feel quite right. But got a parkrun done - went to Rushmoor in Aldershot which is a fairly flat course though about half on trail. Wasn't too muddy but still couldn't manage to get under 28 minutes (ran 28:25) but whatever.
YTD: 1485
1060 miles YTD
96,932 ft elevation.
12 miles today - grim and grey but an OK run.
YTD: 1497
Hobie... almost back to your perverse norm! (lots of mud and hills) Be careful!
Cal... another busy week-end for you; parkrun and a 12 miler! 'Grim and grey'...here too.
Got out mid-afternoon, intending to run 10 miles...Settled for 8 miles (slow miles)
YTD: 1745' .
Today's 70+ minutes took me past my 2022 km in 2022 target. So...
YTD 1256 miles
MrM2, the weather is not very inspiring is it? It's going to get a lot colder, too, though at least it should be sunnier. Just freezing sun.
6 miles today. Level up.
YTD: 1503
Alehouse, I am trying! Well done on the 2022 🥳
MrMr2 eight miles is great.
So back on the TM again, it's cold and threatening snow......
YTD: 944.56 (55.44 in 23 days, need to get a shift on)
Was a mild 23 degrees at 7am today but still in shorts and t-shirt. 30 degrees now at 1pm.
Few days off again as was working nights and just felt tired.
8.29 miles in the desert this morning, longest in 6 months.
YTD 877.79 miles
(122.21 needed in 24 days)
8 miles today...unlike yesterday when I felt quite lively, this was a trudge. Quite cold, and lungs did not enjoy that.
YTD: 1511
We do get the odd sandstorm but not as bad as when I lived in Iraq.
TT... Thanks. Me too for the Benylin...but not your cocktail!
Dubai... Good to see the longer runs coming along. Do you still think of Comrades?
Cal... An '8 mile trudge' is something that I can relate to! However yesterday's run was different!
Drove down to the south coast on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the sunshine got me out for a 2 hour run.
It was only just above freezing but didn't feel cold, even in shorts! The east/west promenade is sheltered from the northerly winds, by the cliffs, and is a little sun-trap.
Heart rate and cadence were up a little but so was the pace. 12 miles at av. pace of 9:48/mile.
The flat, out and back along the prom was 10 miles. (Five miles out in 48:31 and the return 5 in 48:41)
Pleased with the steady pace over this distance, and the age-grade of 70.6% .
Physio and dentist today! Hope to be running tomorrow.
Play safe in these freezing conditions!
MrM2, brave wearing shorts! It has to be double digits before I'll even consider wearing mine. Nice run though and hope the dentist went well.
Rest day for me (well, gym day).
MrMr2 well done on that eight miles, I am building back up.
DR most people are struggling for about five weeks with this cold, on your recommendation we would all be alcoholics!!
Short and pace 5.72 miles this morning. Even manage a couple of miles at below 9 mm.
YTD: 950.28 (49.73 in 21 days.....)
Now the Physio was something else! Ouch!!!
Well done TT on getting some sub-nine minute miles; I'm delighted with sub-10 these days! But I haven't given up hope, yet!
Two easy runs today, after eventually feeling that my legs could handle it (following yesterday's Physio).
3 miles of 'walk/jog' with daughter who completed 'couch to 5k' a few years ago, with my help...but never followed it up. And then took myself out for 2 miles.
YTD: (adding 12' from Wed. and 5' from today)...1762' .
Back on the TM and pleased with three of the miles being below 9mm.
YTD: 956.73 (43.27......)
Nice work, TT.
Guildford parkrun today (and a mile warm-up) - mostly on lumpy frozen grass (well, lumpy frozen mud, I suppose) and frosty hard path, so wasn't going to be fast, but happy with a sub-28. I seem to do OK in cold if it's a dry cold.
YTD: 1515
Cal... Another successful parkrun! £2K on a tooth...Now that is painful!
Thought I'd follow-up the mid-week 12' with a similar run, and see if the same pace was there..
Settled for 10 miles...and the pace wasn't there! Frosty pavements until I got down to the Prom. but that doesn't account for my very sluggish performance today. However, the sunshine was a tonic.
YTD: 1772' .
MrMr2 double figures run, now that is something for me to aim for.
Back on the TM, very, very slow but did it.
YTD: 959.94 (40.06 feeling as if it might happen....)
Out in the cold and fog for a slow half marathon-length run. I felt warm enough with all my layers on, but there were some frosty spots so didn't push the pace. Got it done, though.
YTD: 1528
We had sleet and snow this morning. By this afternoon it had stopped but there were lots of frozen/slushy stretches of road and pavement. Even along the Prom. there was frozen slush on top of the sand.
However...Two runs completed this afternoon/evening. Did a 4 mile walk/jog with daughter, as far as Boscombe Pier. Followed that with a 7 mile (cautious) run after sun-set, going as far as Bournemouth Gdns.. Just ran a few strides into the Gdns. to glimpse the tree lights, but it was too busy to run there.
YTD: 1783' .
