Oh, & filmage, of the same crossing spot

I did a 5K tonight, slowest ever, probably due to doing a 12 hour shift and being so warm, but very enjoyable.

Whenever I run 5k it takes almost always 30 min. It can be hilly or it can be flat, and it'll still be 30 minutes. In fact, the sprint tri I did last week - the run took exactly 30 minutes.

Well done to those runners who used the rocks. As for the "waders", nobbers...

I must be a 'Nobber' then?
The water is an easier option, generally, as the rocks can be very slippery, due to moss on them, which is duely soaked by the splashes, I made up a place there
It was a shallow water event, this is the 2nd crossing, after heavy rain (note safety rope)
It also has stepping-stones which are sometimes displaced by the water, & they're not little blocks either (almost 3 foot cubes)

I can't imagine the people who used the rocks kept their feet dry anyway - especially when they had runners splashing past them through the stream.

The Beauty and the Beast marathon that I did in 2014 featured a stream that you had to cross six times. By far the easiest and quickest option was just to plough through it. It was fun!

Today
Nostell ParkRun #109

Started near the back, as I'd been talking. Again
A very steady first lap, picking people off, just biding time/trying to go faster (as if!!!)

Ended up with tag '44', & a (self-recorded, at the moment) 23:46

Trunce #8 on Monday evening (9 race series)

It's the last event on Monday 12th, generally - if you're so inclined - a fancy dress race

I was rostered for a 13:00 - 22:00 shift, but persuaded a collegue to exchange his 06:00 - 14:00 shift, so I can go
That'll make it all 9 events attended

Decided yesterday to go run half marathon distance just for fun and to complete the monthly Strava challenge. Did 21.5k in 1:49:54.
Work wasn't fun this morning with creaky legs.

It's the Clubs 'Autumn Handicap' on Thursday
I wonder what kind of a target-time I'll be given, seeing as I've not raced much this year, only ParkRunning, & the Trunces
My last real race was the 'Withins', last October; http://www.woodentops.org.uk/index.php?topic=withins



So, the handicappers only really have my ParkRun times to go on (& I'm slow there, this year)

Had my first real issue whilst I was out yesterday morning, but I didn't realize how serious the problem was, until I google the condition,

Runners chill,

I planned to do a steady hour run at zone 3 to 4, felt good up to 45 minutes then I got goosebumps and started to feel chilly?
I carry on and it happened again few minutes later, but I was near home by then,
When I rehydrated,

Yes I didn't take any water with me, but I never felt the need before, but from now on, I shall put in some stuff in the water, (salts and stuff)

Never encountered this, in 8 years?
The odd sensation of cold finger-tips yes, but not all-body

Likewise
But I have been pushing it a bit, doing more cycling and running, these last few weeks.
The temperature for the morning's run was 20℃ but the sun was out and not much wind.

Google advice was to stop running, cool down and rehydrate. Also make an appointment with doctor as there might other issues?

Which I might if it happens again

But first I am buying some High 5 electrolytes tabs, and a running bottle .

Well 10 days until my first Marathon. I wish I could say I was confidently looking forward to it, but all my long training runs have been hampered in some way & this oppressive heat hasn't helped one bit. The longest I managed was 23.5 but from 19 miles onward it was a mixture of walking hobbling and some strange shuffle run! Which was a shame because at the beginning of July I did a nice 21miles without stopping & didn't feel like death the next day.

Oh well I'm sure with everyone around me (I train solo due to being antisocial & shift work) and not having to carry 2.5 litres of water (+food); I'll be fine.

At least I don't have to return to work afterwards as I'm on holiday. Does however mean I have a 250 mile drive 2 days after running 26.2 miles(I think that .2 of a mile will matter).

Here's another thing I don't understand about runners/running training. I have spoken to a few runners at work (I still class myself as a former cyclist who shuffles around for a bit in running shoes) and asked them about longer events they have entered and training, and can't understand why anyone would try to run distances just below the target event as part of a training plan. Maybe it's my past experience of longer distance cycling; I would never consider riding 200km as part of training for a 300km event or riding 500km part of training for a 600km event, rather a series of 50km-100km training rides over a period of time as cumulatively aiding my training.

I'm sure it all makes sense to running peeps and sits well in terms of training schedules by people who know "stuff", but I cannae work it out.
