Any Runners On Here??

I was also thinking that on longer runs my form changes from forefoot strike to midfoot as my calf muscles wear out, so would rocker shoes be better like Guide 17s?

Never ran in rocker shoes myself so can’t comment, sorry.

Good morning,
A sunny day ahead, but chilly of course. On a totally different note, I've had the NHS app installed on my phone for quite a while, it's recently been updated and is excellent. I can see all my medical records and upcoming appointments, letters from the hospital to my GP etc. well worth checking out

Carsington Water Half Marathon this morning, under my target time but I found it tough going!

PR for me 19:54 best time for some time.
Wasn't running at full pelt tbh.

20 miles of a shortened Haworth hobble route ready for the race in three weeks time. Didn't push it as to save my muscles and joints approx 4 hours!

20k run this morning. A few near misses with gormless pedestrians but a pleasant run anyway.

First morning half marathon of the year:

Always seems harder in the morning, much prefer this course at night.

Half marathon today as part of training for my next marathon. 4th in my age group.

I train at night so morning races are tough for me too!

I’m a morning trainer usually so found today a bit harder, being an afternoon half marathon. In saying that my marathon PB was one that started in the late evening.

Haworth hobble yesterday 33 hilly miles in 6:04 hrs.

I'm happy with that sore though today!

Weather was a bit murky but tunable underfoot.

Good day out tbh.

Marathon training getting into the serious side now. This morning was 18 miles in just under 2:27. Started with a flatish 5 miles straight into a strong headwind before turning away from the cost an a mainly uphill section for the next 4 miles. The last 9 miles were over all downhill with a few bumps in the way.

Was intending to do my Walden run today but Met Office reckoned there was a 80-90% chance of heavy rain from 7 till 9.

So instead I stayed local and figured I'd just do laps until it chucked it down.

Only it didn't start raining until lap bloody 10 so I ended up doing virtually the same distance anyway (or 52km according to the satnav).

5:06:41 @ 10.18 kph

Excellent running 😎
That's what I really miss, being out for that length of time, the peaceful feeling once the initial mundane mental chatter in your head fades away, and the gentle aching in the quads as you get nearer the end of your run.
