Any Runners On Here??

[Spartak]

I use Veloviewer to track my activities, I've filtered it to show my runs around Bristol.

No watch 10k tonight.

I put own 50mins as was hilly.

Came in at about 46.30 so happy with that.

Legs are probably a little tired from last weekend tour of Wales!

Couple of days till park run Saturday!

12 miles run today with my new club. I rounded mine off to 20k.

Managed to push the pace on a little more than some had planned without them noticing. All commented later that they had enjoyed it and didn’t know they had that pace in them.

Entered Manchester Marathon, for April 2024, this morning. Aim is to get a good for age time for Boston. Last marathon was undulating and only 3 minutes outside of the target so I’m hoping the flatter route at Manchester will help.

Just put my usual training plan into the calendar. Week 1 day 1 is Christmas Day! 😂

I was talking to Raj, one of our Urology Consultants yesterday, he was telling me about his ‘Great North Run’
I suggested that he had a go at fell-races, & suggested ‘Withins Skyline’ for him
The entry fee has gone up, it’s £5 now!!!

I’d run it a few times, it’s enjoyable, but a morass of peat before Top Withins, if it’s rained a lot

10k for me tonight during daughter's dance club.
Legs felt heavy after busy weekend.

But training runs like that as down payments for races!!

Going to book tour of Pendle, Haworth hobble Wadsworth trog.

Yesterday I realised that my elder son’s Cubs session was perfectly timed to allow me to join the Uttoxeter Road Runners’ club run, something I used to do frequently but which I hadn’t done since 2017. I had half an hour between dropping Andrew off and the meet-up, so I jogged three miles and did some stretching, which I think has helped mitigate some of the terrible DOMS that I’ve got after the occasional parkruns I’ve done recently. Then 6 miles with the club at about 7:30/mile, and a further mile jog back to the Scout Hut. My first 10-mile run for 6
years, and I don’t feel too bad from it! Might be tempted to do it again next week!

Ditto this week. A different 6 miles in the middle, but another good run under the belt. Legs hurting a bit, but in a good way!

Try the 'Withins Skyline' that I mentioned above, it's fun

Ran a new Parkrun this morning.
The Somerdale Pavillon event between Bristol & Bath on the outskirts of Keynsham.
The course is on a flood plain of the River Avon and is dead pan flat, I've previously raced CX on the course, it's a challenging CX but the Parkrun fortunately doesn't use the ramped woodland section, it does however use the Curly Wurly which is a great spiral circuit.

Amazingly I managed my 3rd fastest PR time and was only 18 seconds away from a PB.... It was by far my fastest run of the year still not sure how it happened but I may return next week to give it another go.... 👍

Good run!

What is going on with that spiral?!

 

[Cirrus]

Been gradually building up distance and am up to 12.5km, quite slow at 6:30 mins per km pace, but happy to be out running again.

Well done. I can’t get my weight down enough to get back into it comfortably. If anything, it’s still going up. Catch 22 as running would no doubt help but it’s such a struggle. At least the dark mornings have arrived so I can get out early with my head torch and try and do a bit when nobody is about.

Can certainly empathise, been inactive for a while so everything is “tighter “ but found a short sleeve base layer with a baggy running vest hides a multitude of sins 😱, and as you say the running is certainly helping with weight management ( it’s starting to come off, not quickly but steadily)

That's the Curly Wurly... 😵‍💫
