Any Runners On Here??

[Richard A Thackeray]

First ParkRun this year, today!
(Nostell Priory #181)
Even worse than that, its also my first run too

I've had a look, & it's actually my first 'P-R' since late October!!
Not a fast one, even though the conditions were perfect for me (wet/cold/no wind)

Just happy to get round without stopping

Cranleigh parkrun continues to lure me. 125th parkrun today. 3 degrees and constant rain. Lots of standing water, the ever present mud, I saw three folk lose shoes. Managed my third fastest time ever there today - still minutes slower than my PB on that course from 2014. (EDIT: It was 2015 and I'm 45 secs a km slower)

Garmin went nuts and showed an HR of 180bpm at one point. In my dreams. I've now lost a stone since mid-November. And this week is on track to be my first 20-mile week in 10 months.

I'm off out for a 3 miler. Just waiting for darkness as I'm taking the dog, and were less likely to encounter other dogs after dark so there's less stopping and butt sniffing. And the dog stops less too.

I was asked today a) why don't I swerve around the mud and the puddles and the muddy puddles and b) how come I run flat out down the "big hill". My explanation was that I run at Cranleigh to justify owning MudClaws and I own MudClaws to justify running at Cranleigh (100% on grass, not one metre of hardpack, tarmac or other man-made surface)

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Mud-Claws are wonderful shoes, but rebel at tarmac/concrete paths

You need a fell-race!!

Managed to slip a couple of seconds below 26mins on my park run. Not been sub 26mins in 4 months. It was cold and a bit muddy too.
Below 25mins is my summer target.

Lovely spring sunshine this morning. Seasons best parkrun today. 25.29 mins.

Finally did a run in the alpine snow yesterday. Only 5km. +134m. But it felt good.

I can recommend Salomon Speedcross 4.

I'm recovering from the bum rabies I've been suffering, but still feeling a bit washed out. I may do a short 3 miler tomorrow, but more likely will wait until Monday.

Well, it was bright and sunny when I left the house, the blizzard thing came down 5k into my 10k run... Rather enjoyable in an odd sort of way

 

[Tin Pot]

Christo e deus. it’s cold out there!

But running never ceases to amaze me at how hot I get. Sweating like a non-politically-correct thing here.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Was lucky to get one run a week lately and now that we are under 8 inches of snow I’m going nowhere !

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I ran to work, on Wednesday & Thursday
Slowly, but I did!!
Shorts (so tights didn't get wet/sap any muscular heat) & fell-shoes (Inov-8 X-Talon 212)


It seems that Pontefract ParkRun is, up to press, going ahead tomorrow
Using the winter course though, & fell/trail shoes are considered almost obligatory

 

[Beebo]

All parkruns near me were cancelled. I’m impressed they went ahead with that one given the depth of snow.

I went for an easy 5k this afternoon.. The world and his wife seem to have the same idea, as i passed so many other joggers. I guess everyone has been going stir crazy for the last week.
