Jack and Hobie what fantastic pictures, remind me we do live in an amazing world.
Chamock I am back to Yorkshire weather, wear sun glasses always carry an umbrella! Really good run with 21 miles, well done.
MrMr2 like DR I am hoping to be still running in my 70s, we have a member of our running club who is so inspiring in that respect.
Harmander good to see you are still pacing the newbies, well done on the marathon, and hopefully the broadband will be fixed soon.
Donnie I also use the gym more since I was injured, something about being dry..........
MrC well done on quicker than HM pace.
Spent much of the last week recovering from being tired, very tired, who would have though holidays would be so tiring?????
Back this week,
YTD: 152.87
TT, Mekong Delta had some impressive floating markers from memory.
YTD - 390m
Jack Vietnam must be a short flight for you? How big a run on Sunday?
YTD: 158.39
Ytd: 164.5
31.3 3.65
1.4 6.3
2.4 4.16
4.4 3.25
5.4 4.16
6.4 4.85
YTD 389.11 miles
TT, it’s an 8 hour flight from memory. 4 hrs to Darwin, then another 4 hrs to Ho Chi Minh City. 8 hours is not a long flight for a travelling Australian. I’m flying to Rome in a couple of weeks. 24 hours! Gah!
Donnie and DR, good to see you clocking up the miles. Keep it up.
30km run this morning. The weather gods were kind as it rained either side of my run.
YTD - 409 miles
Gym this morning for 4.1
Ytd: 173.6
JackFW... Well done on your 30km run, And now well over the 400' line!
MrC... That run of 14' against the wind sounds tough!!!
Dubai... Very steady build up, and now approaching 400'. Well done!
TT... Thanks. Some of my most satisfying runs have been in my 70s! Sounds like you needed a rest after your holidays!
End of last week it was a case of dodging the windiest times, with wind speeds up to 50mph, locally, at times! Managed a very slow 11' on Friday and a split 7' on Saturday (3' in a.m. and 4' in p.m.) Conditions were a lot better today, and with daughter WFH, I was more relaxed on my 8' run.
YTD: 0470' .
Donnie very tolerant MrsD.
Jack well done on the 400.
A slow and steady run this morning,
YTD: 164.61
Unplanned down week last week. Not sure what happend but completely drained of energy and managed only 1 run of 4.5 miles. Got out for 7.5 today though and finally feeling a bit more like myself.
Not quite the taper I planned for London but should be ok
Hope everyone is keeping well
YTD 442
Workout Wednesday today with 4x1 mile repeats @ 10K pace, was supposed to be 5 but left hamstring felt a bit tight so cut it short.
6 miles in total inc warm up and cool down.
YTD 427 miles.
MrC... good to show a bit of caution.
Haven't seen any reports from Brighton, over that very windy week-end. Can imagine that it made for a tough run. With our weather it's always a lottery, and even more-so on the coast.
Rest day yesterday, but managed to fit in a simple 5k this afternoon, avoiding the rain, but the wind is very reluctant to go!
YTD: 0473' .
MrC 10km pace sounds good.
Mrmr2 well done on avoiding the rain, quite the achievement.
Out this morning, and just a short sleeve tee-shirt, and cut offs, lambs in the fields and bunnies starting to be seen, summer is round the corner!
YTD: 173.22
YTD: 0483' .
3 x 10km runs this week. There has been a lot of rain about this week but luckily I always seem to miss it.
YTD 437 miles.
Got out for a slow 7 miles this afternoon. Hoping to see the 500 roll over this week-end. (10 miles to go)
YTD:0490' .
MrC as Mrmr2 says long may it stay that way.
Very short and very slow run as I walked 22 miles yesterday in prep for my two challenge walks later in the year.
YTD: 177.38
Well done on the 400 Jack
So whatever I had last week seems to have passed - energy levels returned to normal during the week so I'm assuming it was some form of viral thing, possibly fatigue from training but it seemed a bit abrupt. I think low iron probably wouldn't have resolved so quickly.
Unfortunately a hamstring niggle (seems to be at least 3 of us here have been having hamstring issues recently) yesterday turned in to a proper pain, 8 miles in to a 10 mile marathon pace run. Ended up walking home. Resting today and I'll see how it feels tomorrow
Have a massage already booked for Tuesday. Hoping it's tendonitis rather than a tear, like Ale's. I already deferred from last year so that's not an option, I'm raising money for charity so I'd rather not cancel. Fingers crossed.
YTD 454
Update: I can, after seven weeks, now walk about 500 metres or so without needing a crutch, although am still carrying one just in case. I had a PRP injection (look it up!) just over a week ago, with another one to come next Thursday. Doing some very gentle stretches and a little (max ten minutes) on the exercise bike on the lowest resistance.
Will be a long while before I post any running, sadly. Hopefully me not running will motivate you all to do a little more or get out there when you aren't feeling the vibes!
chamolk... Sorry about your 'hamstring niggle'. Hope your Physio session will be helpful!
TT... Thanks. (Got the job done today.) Cannot imagine a 22 mile walk!
Are the two walking challenges that you mentioned competitive events?
Wind was back up to near 20mph this afternoon, but otherwise good running conditions. So, a repeat of Thursday's 10 miles (7' + 3' with a pause in between, to check indoors.) I paused for almost 10 minutes after the 2nd mile of my 3' run, as a couple wanted to chat to that guy who keeps running by their kitchen window!
So, 10 miles to add...
YTD: 0500' .
Thanks, Chamolk. Hope the niggle is only that and nothing more. Take it easy. The fact that you could walk the final 2 miles home suggests it’s not too serious. Good luck!
MrC, glad to hear no lingering affects for you after your canal path run. Have fun cleaning the mud off those shoes.
36km for me today from home and via the capital city trail which is a bike and walking track that circles inner Melbourne.
YTD - 452m
Should have rested today but I saw the forecast for tomorrow (Winds over 40mph all day!) and decided to end my week with another (easy) 7 miles, and rest tomorrow!
YTD: 0507' .
MrM2 motoring along nicely
Jack, great long run
Chamolk, hope everything is okay for London. I applied to London a few times in the early 2000s and then gave up, no interest in running it now
7.4 8.05
9.4 3.11
10.4 9.73
11.4 7.92
12.4 5.22
13.4 3.65
14.4 8.02
15.4 3.44
Starting to get hot out there!
YTD 438.25 miles
Hope that rest is helping the niggle, Chamolk!
Great long run, Jack! And great miles from most, but from MrM2 in particular.
Chamolk: good luck with London. Never done it, would like to.
Alehouse: hope the recovery continues apace. You sound in decent spirits.
I should have been at Manchester yesterday,. Dispite efforts to literally give the number away it went unused. Its triggered an email saying if I enter by midnight tonight, I can have the bargain price of £50. Plan to accept.
Three runs to log,
5.1 (road)
4.2 (treadmill)
3.1 (parkrun)
Ytd: 186.0
Yesterday I did a hideous flat race....Half marathon on Pendine Sands....never again....return along the beach was 5 miles into a solid headwind....tried to maintain a steady pace for the whole thing but struggled towards the end...finished in 20th in 2:06....give me hills any day.
348 miles YTD....my knee & legs are not talking to me today.
Jack great running well done on the 36km run.
Taking it easy this week with the Shakespeare half on Sunday, 6 miles yesterday including a 3 mile tempo effort and 4 easy miles today.
YTD 447 miles.
Like you, I have no interest in running London (again). Happy to have run it in 2005 and 2006 (through the ballot) with times of 3:47 and 3:37 but it holds no attraction for me now, although I love to follow the elite runners; London always has such a great line-up!
Alehouse... Thanks. Hope that things are still heading in the right direction for you!
Donnie... Sorry that you had to miss Manchester. Good to see you 'ticking over'. Hope you'll soon be able to pick up where you left off.
Hobie... What an event! (Must be worth more than 13.1' !)
MrC... All the best for your Half!
After 6 days of running last week (45 miles) I needed to rest yesterday! Surprised to find the body keen to go this morning. Kept it to just 5k of local road circles. (Mile times: 9:50, 9:31 and 9:13 with 5k in 29:36)
Didn't expect to be seeing sub-30 again...? Happy.
YTD: 0510' .
