birkmyre - it is indeed a Greenock Morton top. Not much fun supporting them of late though
. I have lived in West Yorkshire for many years now but I still go up to see them a few times a season. Do you follow a Scottish club? I had a pleasant 8 miles this morning, at least in part. Around halfway I got an insect in my eye and spent the final 4 miles struggling with it. I suppose it is a hazard of spring and summer.
3.45 miles easy for me today ... 8:41 m/m @ 61% wHR.
battery went flat on garmin so don't know what I done but it was nice and easy anyhow
enjoyed it
8M run home, in 1.04.30. Bit harder work than it should have been. Bit humid in Hampshire!
jonyfp: Thought so. I'm a Rangers fan, far much easier to support than Morton.
Had a season ticket for Morton, way back in the late 1970s. ( My old gran bought it for me as a birthday present).
Mind you it enabled me to watch the best Scottish player never to win a full cap (still don't understand why not ) Andy Ritchie.
4.2 miles in 40 minutes, so bloomin hot. My brain felt like jelly wobbling around in my skull, thought I was gonna puke at 2.5 miles. Had to walk 1/3 mile at just past the 3 mile marker, ran the last part but felt so rough. I can't believe I ran the VLM just over 3 weeks ago, still it was an outing hopefully the next one will be better.
5M Fartlek on a humid morning. Shattered !
johnyfp: I'm originally from the 'small and quaint fishing village that nestles on the banks of the River Clyde...Port Glasgow'
I'm currently a' non active member' of Greenock Glenpark Harriers.
I was at the recent Gourock Highland Games, (1st time in 20 odd years) as my oldest son was playing the bagpipes. There's no athletics there anymore
and Andy Ritchie was the Games Chieftan. He looks slimmer now than when he played for Morton !
Agree it's nice to have a familiar face on here.
Finally I am back!
Tp me this was my first run since last year. With my foot injury plauging me I have maanged to get out a few times but nothing 0f what I consider decent distances. A case of ticking over more like. Tonight I went for a little bit more, I'd done a few 3 milers but had a break for a few days because of plantar. Rather than run anpother 3 I decided to go 4 anyway.
It was a hard slog in slow motion. Very warm weather made it even harder. I had to stop at the bottom of Hilly Hill as i didn't feeltoo well but i got back and ran home.
Overall happy to have run a bit further and now today (Friday) My foot is a litle sore but a day off should do me no harm.
Already planning 5, 7, 10.....
Hi people,
looks like a few of us struggle a bit! The weather certainly caught me out yesterday.
Good luck Dr. Dan, stay in one piece for the M'ton!
Well done Deadstar and iRun. No doubt the good times are just around the corner.....
my poor body does not know what to do with itself, can't adjust to the change from fleecy leggings last weeks to vest and shorts this week. was awake at half five this morning (on my day off!) so wolfed down some breakfast and went back to bed for a couple of hours. In hindsight I might have been better just going out then, as when I made it out at 8am it was already nearly 20 degrees, and not a cloud in the very sunny sky. Opted to shorten the run, which was definitely the sensible decision, so just pottered round. On call this weekend, will try and sneak another short run in somewhere.
6m in 58.15
Yesterday 6 miles in 38 22
Today 5 miles in 37 20
Rest day tomorrow and a 16 mile hill run on Sunday first time running it on my own! Tried to download from Garmin connect to my 405 but the 405 is having none of it. Looks like I'll have to run on memory which would be ok if not for the fact I have the sense of direction of a lemon!
hope your all ok
still busy, just not quite as much
good luck all - take care and happy running
Really 'getting it' now!
6 miles 1 hr 5 mins. 10:49 pace.
Hot, but had plenty of fluids yesterday. Porridge an hour before I went and I felt I could have ran forever, but following a strict training plan ( and I don't want any injuries) for first half marathon in September.
Entered for a 10k in July , for race experience and would really like to get just under 60 minutes
Good luck to all racers this weekend!
9M steady, in 1.17.30. High temperatures are wearing.....
managed a short run this morning before work. Slightly cooler at 7am but not much. Still, was nice on a Sunday with not so much traffic about.
3.7m in 34m
2 hot runs to report.
6 miles on Thursday night (had to wait until 8 for it to cool down) 8'30
9 miles this morning.... (8'26) got up early to beat the heat and it was still 25 degrees when I got back at 9.30. Think I need to take water with me if it stays like this...the humidity and heat just sap energy.
As a rule, my sense of direction is pap and despite running our '6 hills' 16 miler on several occasions I was bound to lose my way.
Enter Garmin
The hills are very tasty and normally I work the hills and relax on everything else to average around 7 50s. This time though, having wondered before what time I could actually run this route as an out and out run, I set off at 07 30 toward Boar Hunt and Southwick. Well any how, 1hr 48 mins later I finished the run averaging 6 45s and now I am quite feeling the effort.
Didn't quite work the hills as I normally do but the pace in between the hills certainly made up for it
Faggot run for me tomorrow and then speed work on Tuesday
Happy running all
On Fri I had my 1st 'time on feet' run in prep for July's really long distance event. A mix of trails and pavements, 3.5hrs / 21.20miles.
Sat/Sun I was running the Green Belt Relay round the M25! It was a very hot weekend but thoroughly enjoyable. Sat - 8.4miles / Sun - 6.9miles. Calves were really tight and felt blisters on both big toes from the long training run. It might not have been a good idea to do a long run before an event but really need to push on a bit now.
A 4 miles steady run for me done this morning and already it's quite warm. Lovely sunshine and blue sky over the Kilpatrick Hills.
Hopefully cooler than of late this week.
11.15 miles yesterday @ 9:16 m/m and 64% wHR. IT WAS HOT!!! Last proper run before the marathon ... 7 days of resting and short jogs.
Good luck Dr. Dan!
me: 5M easy along Southsea Seafront. 10k race on wednesday.
10.8 mls 1.49hrs. Nice and easy.
Love running in this weather, fantastic.
Good luck with the marathon Dr Dan.
Went out this evening to a slightly cooler run than the last week. Nice steady run, stretching the legs before Wednesday, which is the start of the local 5K summer series. I don't run 5Ks, apart from the parkrun I did at the start of this month it must be over seven years since I've raced over it, but this years aim is to build some speed, so short seemed like a good idea. Challenge will be not going out too fast I guess!
5.05m in 47.30
