22.3 miles today ... 9:29 m/m. One more biggie next week and then it's taper time.
A mix of hills, trails and roads this morning - the sun peeped out every now and then and I regretted not wearing gloves as my hands were frozen on the run, looks can be deceptive!
2:30hrs / 15.23miles
Hard 5 miles this afternoon. Felt cold this morning and then when I was out, the sun was deceptively warm.....and I had to avoid drunken bank holiday revellers!!
5.14miles/42mins
The Hampshire 10k for me today. I wasn't too surprised when I arrived to find it bloody cold and to find a very strong wind blowing in off the sea. No matter which way you ran it was in your face for a good part of the race.
The marshalling was absolutely pants, ask the 1st placed runner that was disqualified!
Starts in the stadium with 3 x around a 400m track (unless you leave at the 2nd lap that is)The marshalls shepherd you to the outer edge of the track lap by lap until you leave the stadium on the 3rd lap
A run down to the lido with a loop on it before returning along the same path back to the stadium and then once around the track (approx 2.5 miles)
Back down to the lido and the loop before returning to the stadium and another lap of the track to finish
There are parts on the small loop that could easily mislead you without a marshall in sight. A big thank you to a couple of the local youth who pointed us in the right direction
2nd M40
7th overall
35m 52s
An pootle for me tomorrow I think
I sometimes train off road but have never raced off road. I'm always a little weary of going over on my ankles or something.... a bit chicken I guess but I am what I am
Normally the marshalls are pretty good. In fact the ones in the Gosport half last year were too nice!!!! Sometimes I need to be ordered where to go! In general though, most have been great but today was definitely an off day. However, the same course is used for the D Day 10k on the 31st so they have plenty of time to redeem themselves
5M Fartlek. Hard.
Legs feel very heavy so it must have worked !
Hope I don't get cramp on my way to work this morning...
It was gooooooooood.
Hello people
Nice thread to have found. Good to see so many people covering impressive distances!
I am on the way back after lots of injury over the last two years. At my best I am (I was, rather!) sub 40 on 10k, and sub 1.30 HM, but that won't happen for a while yet. Next race: Moors Valley 10k on Sunday. First race this year, and hoping to be around the 47/48 minute mark, and hopefully building strength from there without getting injured. Oh, am 42 years old, male, and er, Dutch, but living in Hampshire.
Last Run: 8M (almost) in 1.06.30. Long steady run, yesterday
Welcome Dutch from a Yorkie living in Hampshire
I should have rested yesterday but put in a fairly workmanlike 6 in 39' 35"
Definitely long and slow today
4.5 miles @7:41 m/m and 72% wHR. Felt good.
Hi All, went out this afternoon, all well for first 7 miles 8.30 min/mile....then a case of IBS (or at least thats what i think it is!) Why does that happen when your at the furthest point away from home on a run???
followed by another 7 miles of 10+min/mile. Owwww!!! my knee hurts! Looks like I've got a few days with no running!!!
Well done JS7 your times are an aspiration for me. Welcome all new people and good luck with your running. I did 6 miles on the treadmill today followed by weights. 4 miles were at tempo pace of 6:48. This followed two days of rest as I am on a taper for Leeds half. 7 easy miles planned for tomorrow
.
I'd like to think that as we get older we can still put in a shift! I wish I was up doing the Leeds, sounds like a good course.
I have to wait now until 31st May for the D Day 10K and then nothing really planned until the Abingdon Marathon in October
10 miles in 1hr 13m 57s for me today. I took a route I haven't run for a while to include some of the Gosport Half so nice and flat. It felt really good to get out and run long and steady paced. I was nice and relaxed and one of the most enjoyable road runs I've had for some time.
Welcome on board
Yay! !
The return of the creator. How are you doing, iRun? Injuries all mended?
0630 A laboured 5 miles near the beach with enforced return home for pit stop part way through
Still not fully recovered from Monday's race lol
Cheers DD and I stand humbled
Easy 4 miles this morning. Recovering from Fartlek.
Nice dry and windless day up here in West of Scotland.
Despite feeling a little run-down from hayfever symptoms I went out for my mix of hills, trails & roads again yesterday evening at my normal pace - managed 14.30miles in 2:15.
But feeling really lousy this morning, a bit light headed and still sneezing - may have to enforce rest for the next few days as got a 10mile event on Sunday.
Where are you up to ont he streak days/mileage now swittle?
Er, 1055 days and just over 6200 miles in that time. Next milestone: 1096 days = 3 years, in mid June.
How are you keeping Dr. Dan?
Very well Master Swittle!
My mileage is becoming respectable as I inch forwards towards the Chester maraton at the end of the month. Been a slog but only one more biggie to go on Sunday and then I start tapering. Hopefully this will set me up for a summer of PBs at the shorter distances.
Well done on the continuing streak ... amazing!!
Today was 10.25 miles @ 9:09 m/m and 61% wHR. Felt quite tired so kept it nice and easy.
4 miles this evening @ 8'24 around the university. Still not feeling like normal after Sheffield Half, but the hellish crossfit session yesterday didn't help my legs
Not sure how to deliberately slow down for longer runs....any ideas? I know is sounds mad, but running slower seems hard to maintain
