Any Runners On Here??

[Tenkaykev]

That’s great going Spartak, chapeau to you sir 👍👍

Good going. You’d go better than 2:30 on a half though! You could run a 5k then walk the next 16 in two hours

I'm an occasional runner, used to volunteer at parkrun more than I ran. Been running a bit more due to circumstances and feeling good. My PB at parkrun is 25.39, last week I ran 25 mins exactly so really pleased with that. Wasn't to out of breath either. If temperatures keep low will run a bit more often and see if I can lower it further.

Yesterday my crazy daughter ( supported by me and my girlfriend) ran the 55KM off road sandstone Trail for Charity
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bryony-board2
Conditions were mud and rain basically. Slip sliding all the way so took her around 8 hours. She was remarkably fresh nearly all the way through. Some photos below. She had a friend run a few miles with her, but she is equally crazy as a few months pregnant.
sorry photos not very well focussed.
(did not drink enough in my opinion)

I'll never understand long distance running for hours at a time, a few years ago I started training for a marathon but after getting up to fifteen miles I got bored, 10k is my favourite race distance. 😊

To do that trail as part of an organised race would be impressive, but to do it alone at this time of year is even more top class.

She had started training this year for Iron Man and of course they were cancelled so she started to get lazy. So she decided to giver her self something to train for, for motivation, also she had put some weight on and running would get rid of it . A bit in-convenient for us with the timing but she does not ask for much ever so we supported her. I was a runner for many years as I was in the army, never particularly liked it but it was necessary.

I know a few people who've done Ironman, not for me thanks. 😊

when marathon training (albeit for a trail marathon) I tried to run in different places for my Sunday long runs, making it more enjoyable and less repetitive.

Just ran my last run of 2020, a very icy 5km loop.
Takes my years total to 416 kms ( 260 miles ) well pleased with that considering my target was 250 kms ( a 5 km run/week ).

2021- I'm going to set a target of 500 kms and hope to run a Half marathon distance.

Sadly not cycled very much at all this year so will be trying to get out on the bike more. However, pleased with my running distance this year, just under 2,200km, a lot of that was in training for an autumn marathon that never happened (for obvious reasons). This year I will be aiming for about 2,000km so perhaps 2,021km would be appropriate.

Five years ago I was knocked off the bike resulting in a permanently damaged shoulder and a dodgy right knee I haven't run since but we have just got a treadmill and I have done a few walks/jogs on it and I feel the urge to run returning, so depending on the knee my first goal will be the local park run when they return.

good work! treadmills can be great to pick up mileage whilst knowing you can stop and return home at any minute.

enjoy parkrun, whenever it may be
