4 miles on coast path for me yesterday, bit windy but good to test out dodgy knee...only a couple of minutes per mile slower than when I was all good.
1092 miles YTD
99,501ft elevation
I feel a couple of end of year targets approaching.
TT: hope the 1000 has been done. Hope to hear good news soon.
5 last night in heavy drizzle and gloom.
A very muddy parkrun this morning.
Ytd: 1244.3
Had a gentle 5.25 yesterday but did 11.15 including parkrun today.
YTD = 1959.85 miles.
There is a parkrun tomorrow too so will use that to do the same again - determined to get to 2000.
Up in Manchester now so ticked off Sale Water parkrun (plus a mile warm-up).
YTD: 1561
Harmander... Well done on the 'double' with the training groups! How often do you do double runs?
Enjoyed a slightly 'brisker' run of 7 miles yesterday, in great running conditions ; 3rd run on the same 7 mile route this week...all in shorts but double-wrapped on top!
Hoping to get out for a little run some time today. (Need to choose my time carefully as we've got family with us.)
However you are spending this festive season have a wonderful time! Merry Christmas!
YTD: 1804' .
Night shift Christmas eve to night shift Christmas day, family still in Ireland so a quiet one here
YTD: 1811' .
Did the 11.14 miles today (was exactly the same route as yesterday with the Christmas parkrun but 0.01 miles shorter somehow).
Hope everyone had a great Christmas Day.
YTD - 1970.99 miles.
Another 'too nice not to run' day! So, got out for another 7 miles. (Third consecutive day....breaking my own 'rules')
YTD: 1818' .
YTD: 1570
Minor injury from stretching. Using the edge of the kitchen worktop as a ledge to stretch my hamstring, calf and hip, I've maybe pushed it a touch to far although feels much better today.
Ytd: 1247.4
YTD = 1974.01 miles
I went out for a very short run on Christmas day, but it was too cold, wet and slippy underfoot to risk further than I did and the gym we are members of over here is shut till NY. Given the weather the next run will be when we are back in Yorkshire, which should give me two days to do this!!!
YTD: 995.84 (4.16....)
Donnie, maybe don't try to do the splits in one go, eh?
Harmander, I feel you. I am basically 90% cake and mincemeat now.
Harmander... On track for 2000'.
TT... It's in the bag!
Out this afternoon for some roadside miles. Six miles of mixed pace. (Av. pace 9:57 for the six miles.)
YTD: 1824' .
6 for me in the drizzle this morning. Mostly quite slow as usual but injected a few strides into the final mile.
YTD: 1576
7.77 miles yesterday and 9.36 today.
YTD = 1991.14 miles.
Going to visit a friend who is poorly tomorrow as only about 1/3 of marathon distance to reach 2000.
Snuck out today on my own to get some fresh air in my disease riddled lungs. Hilly 5 miles in the bag...one target done.
1097 miles YTD
100,213ft elevation
Hobie...Sounds like things are not going your way at the moment. Hope there will be better news soon!
Thanks Cal... Are you following a marathon training schedule ? At the moment I'm working on increasing distance, gradually, and trying to hold a steady pace. (Always a couple of my strengths but I've not been quite the same for about 2 years...since Sciatica in early '21. )
A bit chilly today but looking good for a run...
Well done Harmander...hope your friend feels better soon.
MrM2, similar to me...I've not been the same since my high hamstring tendinopathy around the same time (I guess it doesn't feel that different, they're both a pain in the arse, literally).
I'm not on a programme as yet. I am actually considering running less and lifting more going into Manchester, but we'll see how long that lasts.
8 miles today.
YTD: 1584
MrMr2 join the club! Are you heading for a marathon?
Hobie so sorry to hear that.
Arrived home and went straight on the TM......
YTD: 1000.02!!!!
Thank you all so much for your encouragement, as I said in January I really find this thread so helpful. Anyone going to start the new one??
Thanks Cal.
On Saturday I will be doing my 400th parkrun - that's 2000 km - blimey, I just realised that
Congrats on the 1000 TT.
In answer to your question...I'm signed up for the MK marathon on May 1st..(together with one of my daughters)
Harmander... 400 parkruns?!?! Congrats..
Cal... Well done on a good 8 miles.
I'm thinking of 'shadowing' my daughter who is loosely following a six month schedule...but I'll just pick out the bones...Thinking about a high-mileage approach, but that is always risky. Possibly going for Gym membership in the new year and mixing treadmill and swimming on some days, but the bulk will be outside.
Enjoyed running 8 miles in the late afternoon.
Anybody else notice Jupiter quite close to the moon on a very clear evening?
YTD: 1832' .
YTD: 1006.03
Cal and Mr MM: you mention marathons in 2023. I'm in at Manchester. As you both say, no plan at the moment but starting to run a little further whilst holding the same pace.
My rather strange stretching sprain seemed to disappear as quickly as it came. Christmas day afternoon following park run I was on my hands and knees going up stairs, but all fine by the 28th!
Two runs to log 8.3 which I really enjoyed and 7.2 whether I realised to late I was under dressed and never probably warmed up.
Ytd: 1262. 9
Donnie, maybe I'll see you then! Glad the injury turned out to be nothing much.
MrM2, apparently all planets were visible (some via telescope only) last night. Of course it was cloudy here and I'm in London anyway so there's light pollution. Not quite as bad as when we had those sodium lights when I was younger. Rather glad we don't have that awful brown sky any more.
Went to Burgess parkrun today - too many rail issues to tick off a new one, but Burgess is nice and I've not run it since 2018. Didn't quite get the time I wanted but never mind.
YTD: 1587 (although given I round down my fractions, I daresay I'm really well over 1600. I don't care that much to be honest).
I finished it today with a run director practice session at parkrun. So with a bit of luck we'll start 2023 with a new shiney local parkrun.
Friday run club was a lovely chilled 4 miles along the wildlife park.
1101 miles YTD
100,374ft elevation
Happy with that, here's to 2023.
And I enjoyed Burgess when I did it, Cal! A quick course!
Besides aiming for 1000 miles in 2022 I also went for 2022km (achieved) and 100 miles every month. The latter only achieved today: December has not been the greatest of months running-wise with illness and the icy weather. And then yesterday I was charged by a large dog which hit me full on; today I have paw marks on my chest, it hit me that hard! Fell backwards, fortunately on grass, banging my head and back. Very embarrassed owners who did look after me and took my number and checked that I was ok later in the evening; had visions of not running today, which would have been a pain having run the other 364 days! Just an easy 5k to achieve the 100 miles and will be taking it easy for the next few days. A little tender! I dread to think what would have happened if it had been a young child that the dog had jumped at.
Anyway, all the best for 2023 everyone.
Year end: 1241.5 miles = 2159 km
Finished on 913 miles, well short, and less than half of my 2021 mileage.
Family arrive back shortly after midnight and then work tomorrow so a quite New Year’s Eve. Bring on 2023
Happy New Year
