15.7 degrees is bollocks-freezing i wouldn't want to swim in that. For me temps have to start with a 2 to be acceptable 20 done today - longest run since Boston 2014. Crikey, but 26.2 is a helluva distance I was cream crackered when I got back. Raided the fridge and scoffed everything in sight then slept for an hour.…
AA-good week there, coming together nicely.I dont know how you can do those intervals..so painful.Fast 4 too.Do us proud please and retain that title DD-thats how to do a marathon-experience ,natural fitness and strength , blood mindedness and a touch of stupidity. .The Iron man in you does the job. Well done. I will never…
Good luck Minni! Nice long runs Chick and Barry - that is a speedy 18-miler! - and good work on the bike Spoons. Will probably do a short easy run later but resting up and hoping the Team GB ladies can make up for the men's failure yesterday - fingers crossed Emma Pooley can get a medal for Norwich. Barry, target for the…
Cooks - hope Little Cooks improves. Been there..done that. Now Miss 18yr old AA is sick for self inflicted reasons - and wouldn't dare to wake me! Spoons - nice speed. How long is your challenge tomorrow? Minni - I might try that next week - but without the HM pace bit Mon - enjoy your Sports Massage!! I did my lsr this…
Morning Folks Good luck to our racers today, especially Shaggy I've always wanted to do the XC Nationals. Carrot: Well done for toughing it out, my neighbours long since stopped commenting on my frequent early morning journeys whether by foot or bike past their windows. Just back from a nice easy 13 miles across the desert…
Thanks guys and gals - been missing you! Mr Spoons - bloody hell....is it THIS Sunday?? I did my furthest ever bike ride today... 46 miles - all flat along the canal and I loved it finally. Cheating I know but I had to start liking my bike somehow. DD - no road bike yet but am looking all the time on ebay...I'm sure it…
Agreed DD, I know I've got a much faster 10k in me (in fact I've already run 42:46 in training) but yesterday was very, very hot for us unacclimatised lot - would have been a cool one for you I know! And, as all the reviews on this site agreed, mine was far from a PB course too. So, given the conditions I was very happy…
Dubai Dave....sounds like you have an eventful life. Running 20 miles In 37 degrees is admirable. Simon 46 min 10k isn't slow, I know loads of people who aspire to that and that's top pace for a training run sub 45 should be very doable in a race. Morning all, a very easy 6 for me at Lunch today then chillaxing for 2 days…
That torch looks great on you O4S! Still no time to read back so no idea whats been going on here for the last 2 weeks - hopefully some great running. I've another rubbish half to report for me yesterday - 1:46:25. 10mins slower than last year at the same event. After the first 2 miles at what should have been an easy…
Well done, FRC !! Sounds a bit gruelling but in the end that's what is to be expected from Comrades. 10:46 is a long way sub 11, so well toughed out. Nice result at Race for Life, pink Freemers: glad you get some running in. Another 10 miler for me today. Very enjoyable bright, sunny morning. I was 2 mins. quicker than…
