Last outing for the horrible Ravennas today. Course PB at Bramshall Road parkrun - 19:07, I think. A little bit, twisty, undulating, and some grass and gravelled paths to contend with.
Any Runners On Here??

Our Broadband is defunct, and my parents are visiting, so
(i) still no Zwifting for me, but
(ii) we were both able to leave the house this morning, without leaving the children unattended (although folks were fast asleep at 5:30am!), which meant
(iii) Jo and I went out for 40 minutes in the lanes, to begin our 16th anniversary with mist and a beautiful sunrise.

Half Marathon day today on a pretty much pan flat course along runways and taxiways. Very happy with my time, 4th in my age group (again!) and only 30 seconds outside of my PB from September 2018.
Did my 15th Parkrun at the weekend so I'm thinking I should probably buy a decent pair of runners instead of the £30 Asics I got over 10 years ago.
I've also thought of running a 5km every day in September for the craic. Yesterday's completed at a snails pace, hopefully will get out later on if it dries up.

I’m too heavy and unfit for much running at the moment but I do enjoy it. A few years back I did the Marcothon Challenge which involves running at least 25 minutes or 5k every single day in December. It was quite hard committing to it especially given the weather at that time of year, but I did it twice.

Two half marathon races, one on August 31st, the other on September 8th. Both averaged exactly the same pace and finishing only 30 seconds outside by PB set in 2018.
Consistent if nothing else 😂

I've completed 10 5k's in a row, with two parkruns included in there. I'm flying to Exeter this weekend so hoping to keep up the running while I'm there so have spied the local parkrun course.
With the darker evenings coming in, does anyone have headtorch recommendations? I've a few cheap headtorches but want something decent but <£50

A lot of the runners in our club have switched to a body harness style torch. They have the advantage of nor making your head sweaty and always pointing in the direction you are going. Some have a red light at the rear. With head torches, turning your head to speak to someone can dazzle them.

Interesting, I'll look into that although would need one that adjusts as the beam would just go straight out otherwise. Least when it's on your head, you can look up and down with ease. I run solo (apart from parkruns) so shouldn't be dazzling any others with it on my head.
I headed to the Nike outlet nearby me after work today and bought a pair of Vomero's for £48 (RRP £120 apparently 🤷♂️) and a pair of Nike Juniper Trail as they felt good although are technically for trails. Then topped off with a wee pair of Air Max Alpha's as I'm over 40 and have never owned a pair of Nike Air, oh and they were only £38.
