Hello Enrico, Deadstar; good to see you running!
Me, 4M slow, taper for sunday, New Forest Half. I have a feeling it's going to go well......
Hi, Enrico! That is very good running! Well done!
Thanks for your kind remarks - yes, I'm still running every day: 1196 days as of today
5 miles in 45 minutes for me today. It was supposed to be a fartlet session but wasnt as quick as I had hoped. It was really really windy!
Good luck on Sunday Dutch!
A lovely 6.5 miles today along the coast from Cwmtydu to Cei Bach by New Quay with the lovely Barry for the Coasters!! <img /> <img />
Had to run off with vigour as I knew the camera was pointed at me so soon regretted the fact that my leg had a vertical start.....
A rare post from the thread originator!
8.87m 1:25:33
A lovely run out in the early West Miidlesex area. Started off in the early morning light with a gentle trot that really never felt like it got any faster. As ever it is about distance and endurance. ran in the service roads all the way with the exception of the last section of the Ickenham shops which is dug up. A very slow 22+ minutes at the ped lights. Bit of a puff at the breakspear roundabout and also a dodge through some pavement diggings there too. Drifted in to uxbridge from the A40 and Oxford Road. Lovely sunshine by this time and half way up Helly hill I decided to run around Coney Green, that was lovely. A slow plod down to the library but i diod muster up a push down the home straight.
Lovely!

You have an excellent memory, Enrico
I've been running daily since June 2007, simply because I can!
Good luck with your race tomorrow - here's hoping for a fast time
7.4 miles of trail & beach this afternoon on the coast north of Liverpool. Beautiful sunshine, quite warm and fine views of N. Wales too!
Hi Folks,
Just returned from the New Forest Half; went round in 1.30.10; very excited about that, although also a bit disappointed with missing the 1.30.00 mark. Pushed in the last mile to get there but just fell short. That said, absolutely chuffed with how well my running is going. Fastest HM time for about 12 years.....
Well done Dutch, excellent time!
11 miles today in 1 hr 45 which is the furthest I have been. It still felt quite easy. Only 2 more long runs now before the Bridlington half. I am starting to feel more confident as the miles are increasing.
My first contribution be kind!
Training for the Amsterdam marathon in three weeks which is pancake flat I am told. So off I went to the bitter North East Coast to follow the Cleveland Way from Whitby to Saltburn. 20miles and it took me 3hrs 20mins. Undualting was not the word and the wind was in my face the whole way. I only had road shoes on and now I am aching like a b*****d. Have I been daft and done too much or will I benefit in three weeks time on the flat?
Did the Big Fun Run 5k in milton keynes this morning, ran 17.36 and came 2nd very happy as my last best over 5km was 18.19 !!
Nice one Alib; sounds like you'll be fine for your HM
Chewie: wow that's rapid! Well done, and same to Jay F. Speed merchants!
Nice one Compo: hmmmmm, bacon sandwiches.....
Keyboard Warrior: yeah, should be flat. I've done the half a number of times, and support through the city is really good. I'd say that a big effort three weeks prior to a M'ton should be reasonably safe, even if the state of your feet means you'll do a bit less between now and then. Good luck!
Keep it going Swittle! Looking forward to you hitting the next big benchmark...
Cheers, Dutch - cracking time for a demanding course
Jay F - you are flying!! Well run indeed
After yesterday's tortuous effort, I was reluctant to go far and put off running until 7.30pm as dusk fell. At the Coastguards' Station in Blundellsands, I dropped onto the beach in virtual darkness, switching to the prom at Crosby Baths. Surprising who you meet in the dark! Walkers, shadowy figures and a pick-up truck
Anyhoo, 7.5 miles in 64 minutes and a huge boost to my confidence. It was as if I'd had lungs & legs transplant! 
Ran the New Forest Marathon yesterday in a new PB time of 3:23. This gave me a position of 45th out of 496, so all in all am pleased with my result.
Well done to everyone else out racing yesterday.
Back to the prom for me at 7am for 5 decent miles. I think I'm getting over the man 'flu now!
Great time, SR
Well done Solent Runner. I thought the conditions were good and the course interesting but definately doable! Great result.
Hi,
Newbie to the forum so hello everyone!
Just started training for a 10k in a few weeks and a HM in November. So far my training runs and times have been as follows:
5 miles = 32mins
10 Miles = 1:09mins
As I am a newbie I just wondered how these compare to other peoples times?
Dutch: conditions out the Forest I thought were perfect for running. A bit cold standing around at the start, but once running soon warmed up, and then found myself tipping water from the cups over my head at nearly every water stop to cool down.
I had a look at the results for the half as my mum run it, and have to say, my word the speed the bloke who won it ran! totally awesome.
4.5M Fartlek. Hard.
Yesterdays run for yours truly was 4M, not as shown
