Planned to run double figures this morning but legs complained that they had not been given sufficient notice! So, settled for a disappointing 7. (Shouldn't say 'disappointing' really, as I'm so thankful that I can get out and run! )
(Something still not right with my ankle. Will see if a Physio visit can help, this week.)
YTD: 644' .
Donnie, I wouldn't worry - you have been recovering from a marathon, after all. My May is only as high as it is because I have an ultra next month, otherwise I'd be taking it much easier.
6 today - new shoes (Asics Novablast...first non-Nikes since I got serious about running. Which is a long time).
YTD: 587
YTD 390 miles.
Cal... Hope you get on well with the new shoes; always feels like jumping into unknown waters. Closing in on 600'!
Out soon after 6 this morning for 11 miles. Enjoyed some seafront running in glorious sunshing. Ankle soreness started to get uncomfortable after 10 miles. (Able to book Physio.)
The Physio didn't find anything seriously wrong, today; just the usual knots and tightness which can seemingly only be sorted by bringing me close to screaming! (Three needles used this session...?)
YTD: 655' .
(Brings back memories of the trolley bus route that passed my door, in the 50s, from Brentford to Hanwell.)
Glad your issue isn't anything serious. My physio doesn't do acupuncture, just sticks his elbows into my tight bits, which hurts a lot.
Good stuff MrC - glad the knee is holding up.
12 miles today with a bit of speed in the middle, as I wanted to get a Strava crown I missed by 1 second last week. (I was successful).
YTD: 599
Cal: I never bothered with running apps (strava), recommended?
5.1 in the first genuinely warm evening sun shine.
Ytd 505.5 (May 52.4)
YTD: 609
Cal: thanks for the running apps update. I'm very unscientific, this thread is my record keeping.
Ytd: 517.6 (May 63.5)
First 30 mile week in such a long time, left it a bit late for the long run this morning and certainly felt the heat after the 8-9 mile mark.
YTD 409 miles.
Thurrock parkrun today, plus a mile warm-up.
YTD: 613
MrC....Passing 400'
Cal... Well through 600'...and a good parkrun!
Donnie... Leaving the 500' well behind!
Sadly, my sore ankle decided to make a real fuss! No running for four days, now.
Even a gentle effort on grass was too much.
So, ice treatment and a new ankle support, plus 'rest'.....and try to be patient!
(Just been watching Alex Yee win his latest triathlon with an amazing run. He is some athlete!)
Enjoy the week-end sunshine!!!
YTD: 635
Ytd: 527.8 (May 73.7)
Me?...Still not ready to test the ankle. Taking too long this time!
Aussie from Melbourne here. But I have spent a lot of time in the UK over the past 10 years. Popping back over next year.
This is my first post. Hope I can join you on this endeavour.
I am slightly injured (sore knee which needs a couple of weeks rest) after running my first Marathon last week so it will be touch and go!
YTD - 601.8.
Cheers
124 miles for May, that’s my biggest month ever 😊.
YTD 413.
YTD 421.
Welcome Jack - which marathon did you do? (And congratulations).
A sluggish 5 miles today - still rather tired from the long run, I guess.
YTD: 640
The Great Ocean Road Marathon in Victoria which takes you from Lorne to Apollo Bay along a coastal road for 44km. It was a beautiful course but there was a severe headwind the whole way.
Cal: sounds like the ultra prep is going well?
Mr MM: hope you shack off the ankle issue soon. I hear your frustration.
Out tonight for 9.1. My longest run since the Manchester marathon.
Ytd 536.9 (May 82.8)
Well done on your biggest month, MrC!
Managed 166.93 for May = 103.73 miles, so after two poor months following Covid I am getting back near to where I should be...although June might take a bit of a hit as I am having a procedure on my shoulder on the 7th.
YTD 481.5 miles
Well done Donnie.
Nice job, alehouse. Hope the shoulder thing goes well. My left shoulder's a sod - got a dodgy rotator cuff after years of heavy benching combined with hunching over a computer. Not a great combo.
Couldn't motivate myself to run this morning so I entered an evening 10K on a whim. (Also a 3 mile run there, as a warm-up). Went a bit better than expected, considering the long run on Sunday and the fact my colon decided to play up and I had to deal with stabby pains. I guess I have IBS or something (though that's about as vague a term as a headache).
YTD: 649
I can confirm that it is winter here and cold (relatively speaking!).
Hopefully I will be back on the running track next week and will keep you updated on my progress.
Look forward to hearing how you all are going with the challenge.
Sorry I've been missing for a bit, hard to pop up with slightly annoying short runs I'm forced to do with slightly iffy knee but it's getting better....but I've signed up for a Strava challenge with a local coach who's raising money for a defib...so got 100 miles to do this month.
Couple of runs coaching our Couch to 5k group and a couple of runs out on the coast path.
350 miles YTD
29,019ft elevation....so 1 Everest done for 2023
My fall in early may resulted in a month off so my 100 miles per month has got by the wayside. Bit of a pity. Away for a week in June so this month could also be touch and go.
Ytd: 541.9 (May 87.8)
Yesterday was parkrun plus a mile to warm-up...today 24 miles (I wasn't planning on going that long but took a few wrong turns). I feel like I've run a marathon.
YTD: 677
MrC... The 7:20 pace sounds great! (Takes me back a few years...)
Alehouse...Thanks. Hope your shoulder procedure goes well!
Hobie...Hope you can manage this month's challenge!
Well done on your 'Everest' !!!
Cal... Great result for your 10km 'on a whim'! Looks more like your 5k parkrun pace!?
And well done on today's 24' ! (Was that in the 'new' shoes?)
Managed a 4' cautious run last week in Poole Park (ankle testing) and got into a serious traffic gridlock on the way 'home'. Sadly, as we found out later, this was due to the sea incident which took two young lives.
Another couple of rest days (apart from the drive back to Oxfordshire) and got out at 6:30 on Saturday for a 6' run. Quite pleased with how things went but not rushing back to any sort of regular running just yet.
YTD: 665' .
