Trunce #4 this evening
Finished work at 17:00, drove straight down to Oxspring (east of Penistone)
Slightly better start, but still queuing at the kissing gate
Very warm, & maybe walked slightly earlier on the hill/approach to the quarry steps
Slipped in the (river) Don, at the second crossing & got a nice cool bath
Had a couple of the Medical Photographers, from work, turn up
Mick is a regular & brought Jenna, one of his staff
Damned hot, humid, sticky evening

It must be a grumpy thing; I too upload data to Garmin Connect which in turn feeds Strava. Somewhere on Strava it does say their algorithms round down, so if going for one of their targets of, say, a 10k challenge, you are advised to run 10.1k before hitting the button. I ran a 10k race a couple of weekends ago, jogged on past the tunnel and round the corner, well in excess of 10.1, but it still came up as 9.9km on Strava. Our parkrun regularly comes up as 4.9km on Strava.

First run after a couple of weeks off. 27 minutes in total, over 5km, with the pacing done by Samsung Health. Stupidly slow for too long, and then uncomfortably fast right before the cool down. Don't think I'll do that one again.

Given a poor start, & having to pass a lot, and queue (albeit keeping moving) at the 'kissing gate', & the 'bath' in the Don, I guess I'm reasonably happy with a 146th/331 @ 37:30
Doubt I'll ever trouble my (31:03) PB again. but it would be nice to be able to get back to a 'sub 34'
I, rather foolishly felt like running to work this morning
Ached a bit when I got there, but coming home (leaving @ 17:00) was a horribly sticky/warm trip

I hate repeats.

Was tempted by the local 10km race this morning but made the decision to get a ride in (44 miles) to make the most of the weather before it rained. Back from the ride with no rain appearing I decided to get a run in, managed 7 1/2 miles off road which felt good. Pleased with that after the morning ride

Terry, one of our members took 2nd place in the Liverpool Marathon, on Sunday!!
2.34:37
Finishers = 2994
Males (of all ages) = 2035
Doubtless, he also used his 'start last' system too?
I've witnessed him win a trail marathon, by 20 minutes, using that technique

deffo not privacy circle related btw. Mine is huge but isn't centred on my home.. If I post a regular 5km circular run to Bookface, from Strava, the map shows a point-to-point run of about 3km, but it still shares the right, rounded down to one decimal place, numbers.
