Any Runners On Here??

[bikingdad90]

Did a 10k run tonight once kids were in bed.

I’ve battered my legs this week with a 7k run yesterday morning and a leg session in the gym yesterday and evening.

It’s a rest day for me tomorrow before I jump on the bike and commute 14k each way.

Bonus is that I hit enough points in Decathlon to get £3 voucher. I am liking their new membership scheme.

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 bought a Decathlon head torch a few years ago for around £45.00.

It has a couple of different power levels, not sure about a zoom for the beam angle as I've not touched it since March, and a decent battery life.

Petal has a good range of headlamps from inexpensive to flipping heck how much?!

Both myself and my wife have one each that were around the £45 to £50 mark in a sale. They have been excellent, even faring well in minus 30c up in the arctic circle earlier this year.

I’ve got a Petzl Swift. I really like it. Even the lowest brightness is adequate for seeing on roads and smooth trails. I only increase the setting if I’m on rougher terrain.

Soon be time to get it charged up now the mornings are getting darker.

I've got a couple of Petzl head torches though I haven't really used them outdoors in ages, they tend to get used for close work or looking in the meter cupbord. They're getting on for 30 years old, I think the newer models have a much higher efficiency and light output.

20 miles run today, 4 weeks out from my next marathon. Bang on planned pace. Felt strong and no still legs afterwards so the training plan from the COROS assigned coach seems to be working well training.

Daughter ran the inaugural Kelpies Half earlier today. Going by her enjoyment of the event Mrs Tkk and myself have pencilled it in for next year.

I looked at that one but it didn’t work for my training plan. I’m thinking about it for next year too.

The route description said " cross road at traffic lights " so I asked my daughter if she had to press the button and jog on the spot until the green man appeared. 😁

Thought park run was non competitive?

 

[sevenfourate]

Though park run was non competitive?

I’m not a runner. However I believe they are timed; and those are published by the organisers. As opposed to entrants timing themselves. That in itself suggests ‘competition’ however you sugar-coat it…..

Mrs Legs’ six-week training plan culminated in a 23:41 at parkrun yesterday morning, a fair chunk off her PB set nearly 10 years ago. Next mission is sub-23!
