YTD 1183 miles.
Mr MM: who doesn't love a new pair of trainers.
To those chasing targets - I hope the last month goes well. Personally, if I get to 1300 that'll be my highest annual total. I really think posting on this thread has helped.
Dark, cold and been pushed for time this week, 2 x 5 (same route each time) to add
Ytd: 1216.6 (Nov 105.8)
YTD: 1443' .
It was a very wet and windy 10m run this morning which included some hill repeats half way. So wet I was forced to leave the phone and air pods at home. Probably a blessing. It was nice to listen to the wind and the waves.
YTD - 960m
YTD: 1237
The most popular race in south Yorkshire, the Percy Pud 10k in Sheffield, was called off at 6am this morning. Nightmare for the organisers but a sensible decision.
A lovely foggy 7.1 on Friday evening and a cold parkrun. Unusually run to parkrun, it was quicker than deicing the car.
Course mixes paths in the park with compacted grass trails, worn by the runners, shout out to Doncaster council who gritted the tarmac paths on Fri to help ensure we could run Saturday morning.
Ytd: 1216.6 (Dec 11.5)
4 degrees today though, which felt comparatively balmy. 12 miles. Legs not wonderful but got it done.
YTD: 1249
My miles are now 895, 105 to do in 26 days 😱
Mr M2 hope shoes are good, I've got a new pair and I've not even looked at them. Might take them out tomorrow
Thanks Wabo... Sticking to the Wave Riders for a few runs, then I'll put the Cumulus through the slush and mud! All good, so far.
Another 7 mile run this afternoon, after three non-running days. Didn't help the pace but feeling comfortable.
YTD: 1450' .
Wabo 105 miles in 26 days you will crush that no problem.
Nice crisp morning for running today and in fact the first dry day in ages, back garden is looking like a river bank!
Decided to test out the hamstring today with a speedier session, 1 min on and off with the on at about 5k pace x 15 sandwiched between a 6 mile run.
Got through unscathed so very happy.
YTD 1202 miles.
Idea is you go small sets of marathon paced efforts from start to end for 60 seconds gradually getting quicker 10x (90%MP, 100%MP, 110%MP). I was all over the shop and out of 10 sets I managed one appropriately. Somehow the second minute got slower a few times, Good job I have a few months to practice
Wabo 105 miles in 26 days, chomp through them !
MrC glad to see the hammy kept up, that's a honest session !
YTD 1644 (Target 1750)
MrC, good stuff - hammies are little buggers. I know.
MrM2, comfortable is good!
Wabo, you can do it!
5 yesterday (4 sluggish miles before the gym, then a leg workout, then a slow mile going home) and 8 today (with some faster bits even though I've sore legs).
YTD: 1262
dangeroushamster... Well done for remembering your paces...even if you didn't nail them all. Sounds far too complicated for me!
MrC... Well done on passing 1200'. Hope the hamstring doesn't play you up after today's work-out.
Just three miles this afternoon. Varied the pace. Happy.

Miserable weather and having to stay late at work has lead to a disappointing running week. 5 and 7.2 to add,

Fully agreed, mud is a no no for a long distance...

6.5 miles this morning with 5 at half marathon pace, felt more like 10k 😳.
YTD 1220 miles.
The most popular event in the South Yorkshire running year is the Percy Pud 10K in Sheffield put on by the Steel City Striders running club. 2,500 places are grabbed in moments of the website going live on a Sunday evening in October. It really is a fastest finger first job. Nightmare for them. Original date was Sunday 3rd Dec but some unexpected overnight snow (gone by lunchtime) caused a postponement. New date was yesterday, gales on Saturday night blow away the race HQ which were a couple marquees - this time its cancelled. Feel so sorry for the organizers, hope the runners were understanding. I suspect some might not have been.
Managed to get out Friday (8.1 - lovely in the evening gloom), Saturday (3.1 - park run tourism when my usual was off due to waterlogging) and then a standard 5 on Sunday night.
Parkrun was a challenge. Awful conditions, pouring rain, course muddy and almost impossible in road shoes (obviously my fault) and with a big hill. Steep on the tarmac path on the way down so had to be cautious and slippery on the return grass path, I was running at walking pace! Volunteers deserved a very big medal - Cusworth Hall, near Doncaster.
Ytd: 1245.0 (Dec 39.9)
Loads of 'pud' runs going on the last week but a real shame yours was canned Donnie
Always planned on Cardiff parkrun as legs been battered last week and it's a nice tarmac path ! Just as well because the local was canned due to excessive flooding, hard going at the best of times !
Managed my 1hr 45m long run yesterday and pleasantly don't feel it so much today !
YTD 1678 (Target 1750)
Donnie, I saw Percy Pud was cancelled. What a shame.
I think we've all had challenging parkruns - mine was actually not too bad by comparison.
Had no energy yesterday so bumped my long run until today. Ran a half. Right groin very grouchy but the run was otherwise OK. Not fast though.
YTD: 1282
Great photos! My weather hasn't been too bad but I did swerve park run on Saturday, felt I might be getting a cold, it came to nothing, phew
So I'm now up to 919 , thanks for the encouragement all, I will do it.
My new shoes are great, I love them!
Cal glad you got those miles in today
D hamster isn't it nice when that happens! (Feeling good after long run)
My legs were tired after only 6.2 miles yesterday
Pleased to have a calmer day, today. But left it far too late for my 9 miles. Wanted to see the lights on Bournemouth Pier and in the Gardens but that meant running back along the very sandy prom in the dark. (Almost walking for sections!) So, a very slow 9miles.
YTD: 1474' .
YTD - 993m
Due to my usual shoes still being soaked from parkrun I was out in old trainers. Could tell the lack of cushioning. Definately no spring in my step.
Pretty sure I've never hit 1300 before. My new target for the end of 2023.
Ytd: 1250.0 (Ytd 44.9)
