Found myself with some time to kill before sailing up in Bala (N Wales) this weekend so thought I might as well have a go at a little parkrun...managed 1st in age group (16th overall) so pretty happy with that...knee felt OK, so just need to work on general fitness again.
289 miles YTD
Saw your Strava entries for the sailing (With dubious rate of knots...?)
Thanks Cal.
Yesterday was a rest-day. Today I wondered if the body would be ready for another run. Certainly was; with no hint of recent foot problems. Puzzled but pleased. Repeated the 7' run that I did two days ago and kept a steady pace. Average pace was 10:03/mile. (3 mins quicker!?)
YTD: 592' .
I've got my couch25k group to coach tonight, really love doing this while I'm a bit broken, so good to see the progress being made.
Nothing too adventurous while I bring the body back to where it should be (?)
So, 8 miles at a steady pace (10:04/mile) which gave an age-grade of close to 69%.
YTD: 600'.
YTD:516
Lovely run to our C25K group last through wildlife centre with Water Buffalo and Dear watching us, 12 runners doing week 4.
293 miles YTD
YTD 348 miles.
YTD: 522
MrC... Well done on the 10 mile run; hope the knee is on the mend.
Cal... Think I'd keep well clear of that Wimbledon Trail!
Rest day today but ran a fairly steady 8 miles yesterday.
YTD: 608' .
Well done MrM2.
California Country parkrun today (it's on Berks...not sure where the name came from). Mix of hard path and trail but not too muddy.
YTD: 525
YTD: 531
However, everything seemed remarkably good, so set off in the morning fog (really!) for what I hoped would be a steady 9 miles. At mile six my ankle sent me a sharp reminder note! Thought I might need to hobble my way home....but after a couple of seconds it all seemed good again.
Finished with an average pace of 9:57/mile and an age-grade that just cleared 70%.
Pleased that mile nine was 10secs faster than the identical, first mile.
Will be giving the ankle some RICE for a couple of days (not sure how, while caring for MrsM...) Hope to do more 'easy' miles and ought to mix in some swimming...(?)
YTD: 617' .
Mr MM: hope the recovery continues. I feel your frustration but from this distance, it seems like progress.
Ytd: 472.8 (May 19.7)
I suspect my aim of 100 miles per calender month in 2023 will fall this month.
Signs of improvement in the knee from the rehab. 😊
YTD 359
Glad your knee calmed down, MrC. My various troublesome bits and pieces often have short tantrums but then settle down. Sometimes you just have to show them who's boss.
Did my delayed 16 miler (the run I was supposed to do on Sunday!) Lovely weather. Felt tired before I went out but had a surprisingly decent run, so guess the fresh air did me good.
YTD: 547
Mr C: glad the knee is not to troublesome. Sounds like a decent session.
5 to add from last night. Found it difficult. Ribs, breathing and possibly a bit of a virus. No running today.
Ytd: 477.8 (May 24.7)
I've found breathing a bit harder than normal (I was a bit wheezy and coughing yesterday after my run) and there's nothing wrong with my ribs so I suspect pollen - maybe that's affecting you too.
4 recovery today - very slow.
YTD: 551
Cal... Well done on the 16'. Do you have a plan/strategy for the 55k?
Happy to get out before 7 this morning to run 10 miles. Only a dull discomfort in the ankle towards the end of the run. So, hopefully I'll be able to continue my 'active recovery'. Pleased with the pace of 10min/mile and another 70% age-grade.
YTD: 627' .
Lovely evening last night coaching Couch 25k group around the wildlife centre...run there & back to make it up to just over 4 miles.
Going to Coventry tomorrow for Proclaimers concert so might be able to squeak in a parkrun.
310 miles YTD
Hobie, have fun - I saw them when I was at uni - they must be getting on a bit now!
7 miles today, very easy (but not as easy as yesterday).
YTD: 558
Have broken through the 700 barrier...in kilometres. In real money that translates to:
YTD: 440
MrM2 good to hear the rehab is working, nothing more depressing than weeks off rehabbing only to see minimal effect.
Donnie good to hear you haven’t had too much after effects from the fall.
YTD 379 miles.
Effects of my fall are subsiding but still in evidence to a minor degree. Out Tues and Thurs running 8.2 miles and 10k.
Ytd: 492.2 (May 39.1)
Good you're getting better, Donnie - almost at 500 now!
Finsbury parkrun today (I ran it back in 2018 so not a new one - accompanying a friend). Undulating two lapper in a nice urban park - sun was out too. Happy enough with 28:27.
YTD: 561
Cal... Good result at today's parkrun! (Love the 'keep going' plan for your ultra!!!)
Happy to be on the south coast again. After a couple of 'rest' days (non-running' is probably a better way to describe the last two, very busy days!) enjoyed a 10 mile run.
Not as fast as I wanted, and was pleased to be stopping after 10!
YTD: 637' .
I did 20 today - wasn't easy. Been suffering from vertigo this week and had to deal with that on the run as well as a GI issue which meant I had to find a bush (despite thinking I'd taken care of things before I set out). Annoying. But anyway, got it done.
YTD: 581
Hit the half way point for this challenge, so all down hill from here. Having to work late Mon and Tues nights, which is unusual, so an enforced rest. May is stacking up as a low month, my self set 100 mile per month in 2023 looks like falling at month 5.
YTD: 500.4 (May 47.3)
