Any Runners On Here??

I'm not a fan of these streak things. Your body needs rest to repair and get stronger. Listen to your body and take the rest.
I had covid last week and I am taking it easy ramping back up again. I don't think I've run for more than two or three days consecutively in all of my running.

Yeap still positive so not running yet, nor cycling as I don't trust myself on steep hills yet.

Will test tomorrow morning.

Yes, I jumped on the Turbo this morning as I simply couldn't face heading out into the driving rain. A steady virtual 25K around a gloriously sunny St Helier.
I'll be taking it easy until I'm feeling better recovered.

I got my run in today - ended up doing the school run by car because of the weather, but ran a different road route afterwards when the rain eased a little. The route starts with an uphill, but somehow I got my 5k in 29:24 🎉 That was a lovely surprise when I got home and pulled it into Strava. So that’s me done with runs until Sunday or Monday now. Planning a bike ride in the sun tomorrow.

@Tenkaykev and @Jameshow , hope you both feel better soon.

I had the same feeling about the tour of Pendle race next weekend, sadly / thankfully I didn't enter it!

I don't know how fell runners can do it without crippling their knees... I have only been up Pendle Hill once and just walking down off it made my knees ache!

As a young and brand new fell runner some decades back, being completely left behind on the downhills by everyone in the veteran group that I ran with, I concluded that they had lost any feeling in their knees years back.

They run the Comrades in alternate directions each year. With the "Up" the first 26 miles are uphill, with the "Down" the last 26 miles are downhill. You'd think the "down" would be easier but many prefer the Up because running 26 miles downhill on tired legs beats the crap out of your legs.

Yeap it's not the climbs that kill you on the 3 peaks race it's the downs. It's not if you get cramp it's when! , it's not If you fall it's when!🤣🤕🤣🤕

I agree, I am now resting on a stool at the bar with a few pints of Chinese (you would know it as a Golden on the Wirral)

An early rise this morning for a trip up to Tayport for the Tentsmuir Forest Half Marathon, a trail run taking in sandy beaches, undulating, twisting forrest paths and gravel tracks. Energy sapping to say the least.

Rain threatening but it stayed dry for the run.

 

[Jameshow]

Why didn't you eat the rest of the marathon and btw they are snickers!

well done though - good time? Not really a pb course though!

That's definitely me, four runs a week is enough for me, I know someone who tried a run every day January, and they were still paying for it six months later.

My rule has been.

2 runs a week I'm going backwards...

3 runs in standing still.

4 runs I'm improving

5 runs I could have won something!!🤣🤣🤣

Been over 30 years since they changed the name but I still prefer Marathon to Snickers. 1/2 was the longest distance today. Just keeping things tick over after London before I need to start training for the next marathon.

Certainly wasn’t a PB course. Was very pleased with my time and came in towards the latter end of the first 25% of finishers.

What's your next marathon?
