Any Runners On Here??

[DCLane]

I've got my first running event on Sunday for 23 years . Finally I got to 10k in training on Sunday at Center Parcs in Sherwood.

It's the Dewsbury 10k and my target is ... not last . The advantage is that's it's almost flat.

Edit: my church pastor's also running it, then getting back before the church service - so I'd better try to be faster than him.

Good luck hope it goes well

I've not run in a few weeks due to the extreme weather and my poor circulation. I do need to get back out there soon. I'm so thankful cycling is keep my fat deposits low

I have got the Leeds half marathon in may, did the abbey dash 10k in November that was my first event.
I started running early last year and have only just started cycling so after the HM I'm going to really get into cycle/duathlons.
I dithered about entering the Yorkshire marathon and missed out.

Well done!!

I've not run 'Abbey', even though it's one of our grand prix events, I ran 'Barnsley 10K' the same day, but blew badly, which was just one of those things!!! (& almost got a 'PW')

Looked at MTB duathlons before, but the prices are silly.



I might try to have another go at this one later this year, as it was my first 'half'

IF I could have equalled my time, I'd have been inside the top20 last year!!!!!!!(but I guess the rivers were low & conditions excellent??)

My left hip has started niggling. That means I've tightened up. Cos I've not been running and stretching. Time to hit the streets and suffer through a deep tissue massage

 

[Tommy2]

Thanks richard

I started getting lazy with my stretching and ended up getting niggles in my knee and hip, started having a good stretch before and after a run and feel so much better for it.

Well?????

 

[DCLane]

Well?????

All done - in 53:49 coming in 624th. My target was 55 minutes so I'm satisfied and it was 8 minutes faster than last week. That should get quicker over the next few months.

What surprised me was the number of runners - there were over 1,000 there. The event was well supported, with lots of marshals.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Excellent!!!
Well done, now you know you can do it


So when's the next one?.................

 

[Tommy2]

Well done DCLane, always feels good to beat a target and that was a good improvement, I shaved 6 secs of my 10k time on my run home tonight, not that I was planning to but when you see it happening its hard to hold back.

I think I may do the some more Yorkshire 10ks next year.

A question for you runners . . . . . how bad does a cold have to be before you don't go out running? I have a mild sore throat and a bit of a sniffle and tickly cough but I'd really like to get out for 2-3miles tomorrow.

 

[wanda2010]

For what you describe, I would run. Albeit slower than usual.
