How are you all keeping Training going? Have you rescheduled goals for 2020, or just Going to keep a clear mind.

i feel like I’m in the best shape ever, for me, but struggling what to aim for in Case events are Just cancelled...

In Wales, for me, Ironman Wales was cancelled yesterday and Cardiff half Marathon was cancelled postponed till March last week. Looking likely no mass gathering events will be taking place for this year in Wales at least. To be honest I'm not really sure how I'd feel travelling to compete anyway.

the point about mass gatherings is right, I can’t remember the last time I was somewhere you’d classify as busy, and can’t see ‘big’ city hal& marathons taking place, but am looking at the smaller events (like the two tunnels races in a Bath) and wondering if they’ll actually happen...let alone if I fancy going to an event like that, only to get a phone call from a contact tracker telling me to stay at home for a fortnight.

Nice work, especially in these weather conditions 👍

Nice one! I've been doing my running on the treadmill since the lockdown in March, but I'm away on vacation next week so will get the first outside runs done. Knowing my luck it will rain, heavy rain and torrential rain whilst I'm there...

Very warm today, but I'm pleased to get a PB.... Could have done with some rain to cool things down & give more oxygen.

Completed my 2020 running goal today.... To run 250km in the year.... ( 5K / week ).

Finally believe my body is conditioned to running after several injuries over the last couple of years.

It's been hard but I think my cycling stamina ( I'm used to riding 200 - 400 kms in difficult conditions ) has helped me realise my goal, and I do look forward to my running nowadays.

Lockdown has helped & being furloughed for 8 weeks enabled me to get out for longer runs in the good weather.

It's just a shame that any 'competitive' events have been curtailed but I have managed to run a 10K in under 60 mins. & significantly improve my pace for a 5K.

That's a great achievement and you're well ahead of schedule.
Running, walking and cycling are a good way of keeping physically and mentally fit, especially during these stressful times.
Keep on keeping on 👍

That’s a great effort. How are you going on a 5k?

good going!

 

[Spartak]

good going!

I'm really enjoying running at the moment, find if a good way of doing a short high intensity training... 30/60 minutes is a good workout... 👍
Just need to keep going thru the winter, when the weather turns and the temperature drops... 😉

Have a self-navigated half on Sunday. Torn between using a paper map to navigate or the OS app.
I have a copy of the map it will be held in, but wondering if there is functionality in the app (tap a target and then have it navigate you there) to do the nav for you - any users who can help?

Another 5K this morning, my year to date total is now 356 kms well over my target of 250 kms...

Even did a 5K in under 25 minutes last weekend... 24:58 !!

Longest run to date is 12km ( which when I first started out I thought I'd NEVER reach ).
My new year target will be to run a 20K ( Half marathon ) in under 2 & 1/2 hours... 😳
