I'd stick with 5k or less until your pace gets up, then work on the distance. I find now I don't get any quicker, but do 12 miles at the same pace I do 4
It's really good for a change dave
15 mile run done out for 7am
how is Italy
The thermometer on the terrace in the shade is showing 35 c... I'm knocked.
900 km drive tomorrow to spend a few days watching the Tour in Northern France Home next weekend
no turbo dave. did a little on friday to loosen the legs up but rested otherwise. saturday by choice. sunday lost to school prep - but it does open a door on bala.
good ride this evening to make up. will attempt 5k run in the morning.
hope your all having fun.
What, on holiday and confined to this. What sort of holiday is that.
Do let me know how the men pedalled the bikes and what colours they was.
5k, 42min. treadmil so not really best but pragmatic given circumstances.
thats the best sort of holiday dave.
Bit of a swim
watch some cycling
bit of a run
wine and meal on the terrace
Deffo my sort of holiday
defy my kind of holiday too. don't tel my OH
if my OH was with me, i would be doing any fiz at 'its a holiday !' lol
SgtLard - not sure if you have any local to you but have you thought about doing a weekly ParkRun? Not sure if you know anything about them but they are 5k weekly events run all over the UK on Saturday mornings at 9am. Free to register and enter, you get timed, treat it as a fitness benchmark, treat it as a race, totally up to the runner.
As my run fitness has improved my times have dropped and I'm now trying to break the 20 minute mark. I use the run as my max effort run and it fits in well with my other longer slower runs.
I've also gained a few running friends thanks to ParkRun. We turn up most weeks, run similar times and have a chat pre and post run.
AlGiff -
Parkruns are outside though.
Told you ages ago to change your OH, it's going to be so much easier in the long run
score on the doors, 0 movement 19-13. I'm getting it wrong.
Sgt Lard, what have you done this week in terms of calories in & out? do you monitor how much you're taking in via something like my fitness pal?
The only exercise based thing I can see on here for the last week is a single 5k run, has there been much more than that? otherwise you've worked off something like a king size mars bar this week so its probably not too surprising that weight loss hasn't followed
yes. ...
4hrs on the bike and one run.

I think ( know ) I'm eating too much and doing too little. too many excuses.
and the only surprise ill make at Bala is turing up.
41 minutes for 5km.... You did say run ?
nah. it says run. i say its a tough walk. fairs fair though, I'm carrying 60lb rucksack every step
bit better - more like running - almost

bit of biking this morning. puncture.
https://www.strava.com/activities/345682314/overview
feeling tired & legs are sore still.
getting bike ready ( repair the punctured tube ) but not really feeling like going out.
is it lazy or should I rest ?
Tbh I quite like my Monday spin class after a tough weekend. Otherwise bike!
Runner, swimmer, cyclist and triathlete
Devoid of a competitive streak
Who cares, I'm in it for the medal!
Did 2 x 10kms yesterday and 1 tonight all under the hour..
Got to be on form to beat you at Bala.
(Ps sticking a new tube in should be about 3 minutes)
Is that lazy? I wonder
going out. tour de replay finished. finger extracted
and dave, you have to do that with a 60lb sand bag hanging off your shoulders or its not fair. you could go backwards. or even hop. beating me isn't really a challenge unless you cut a couple of limbs off and carry them around the course.
lazy maybe. 5am start. excuses definitely. sucking up time for sure
Must have lost some weight today been throwing up and sh!tting through the eye of the needle today. Fucking need to get over this got the cancer research relay for life on Saturday in charge of 15 13 year olds during it
Even watching old cycling DVDs on the telly
