Any Runners On Here??

[Chislenko]

Saturday just gone, worked my ass off and took 12 seconds of my PB at Park Run.

Think I am now close to reaching the point of not getting any better.

I think there is a proper saying to cover that something along the lines of gains and diminishing returns?

Not only do my legs not work anymore it seems my brain doesn't either !!!

Ok up the 5k age gradings and I sure there is more to take off!!

At 45 to be decent at 5k I'd need to be running 16mins!🤣🤣🤣

I've been glued to Springwatch live on the BBC as it's being filmed locally. Yesterday they had a segment from Durlston Country Park in Swanage. It's a relatively new parkrun location and well worth a visit, though beware, it's vicious, even the downhill bits are challenging.

Is anyone still running in this, I chickened out of a tempo run last night, although in my defence I had planned this as a recovery week anyway?

Even worse though, half twelve on Sunday I saw a bloke out running near me with a dog running alongside him, what a bellend.

I doubt if I could run in it, even early this morning felt too warm. I’m not enjoying it and spending most of the day indoors in front of a fan.

Not me, I run in winter, cycle in summer.

(and mixed it up in spring and autumn).

Planning to head out for my run today around 10pm. It’s only a short 30 minute one planned and the temperature should be down to around 16 celcius.

One person definitely running in this heat is this guy. Currently at 65 of 102.

I didn't know he was local to me so will try and find his run route for tomorrow and go and give him some encouragement.

Here is his bike ride today. Unbeknown to me I actually shared some Strava segments with him today.

Quite how he manages to find a 112 mile route with so little elevation!

Could've at least popped up the horseshoe one day. 😂

After an unexpected run through Oslo airport, due to a ridiculously short time between connections, tonight’s run went as planned.

Headed out just before midnight for an easy 5k. Sun still out above the mountains here in Tromsø.

Finally getting back to running after injury, really enjoying it but a bit hot at the moment!

Start of the Midnight Sun Marathon was delayed a little due due two ambulances heading through the start area to attend an incident. Hope all involved are ok.

Following the delayed start we got under. Conditions were good, sunny but not too warm and a cooling artic wind in parts. I’d thought long and hard about what to wear and the shorts and T shirt option was correct for me.

The event was well supported throughout, especially at the finish in town.

Finished exactly where I had predicted in pre race training, 7 minutes inside by previous PB and now comfortably under 3 hours 40.

Just a slow Park run for me yesterday 20.30...

Legs felt tired from the off....

10 miler on Thursday explains it!!
