Any Runners On Here??

[Hebe]

Blinking covid after effects are hanging around here and I get stupidly tired with just normal levels of walking and a bit of swimming. I'm going to reinstal the c25k app on my phone and do some walk run intervals after Christmas, when the weather is a bit better. If need be they can be more walk than run.

Anyone dared go out this morning, our local parkrun was cancelled because of ice?

I was going to do five or six miles but after sliding round the back garden thought better of it.

Yes but had to set off at 6:10, it was frosty but manageable. Started to rain on the return but it didn't ice up till after I got back. Could barely walk through my town centre later at 10:00.

With loads of events being cancelled due to the weather I wasn’t sure if the one I had entered for today would go ahead.

Thankfully it did. An 8 mile trail race. -1 celsius on the start line made the choice of clothing difficult but I got it fairly well right. Santa hat came off within the first two miles 😂.

Hard core those fell runners!

I'm looking at a seven mile-ish fell race on NYE, £15.00 entry with a pie + pint at the end. 🍻

Race I did today gave a mince pie, a handful of Celebrations and a can of beer at the finish. My wife doesn’t drink so I got two. Supping one now; it’s my birthday afterall 😀

I think I've just seen the pictures on Facebook.

It's this one, looks a bit hilly but pie and a pint.

Anyone else had an organiser work that way?

First event I will have done in Norway so possibly some unique to the country?

I was an Orienteer for a long time, age groups always changed with age in the year, ie you could be 39 and turn 40 on December 31st but you would be in the V40 age group for all that year.
Norway are a big Orienteering Country so BOF could have inherited the system from them.

Cunning plan came to fruition today. I realised a few months back that my birthday fell on a Saturday - and I go up an age group today.
So I would be the youngest in my new age category. So I began my interval training and lined up nearer the front today. I was first in my AG at parkrun today. Not done that for yeeeeears.

Now if I can get to sub 20 again for my next target...

I had to check who wrote this before I replied in case it was me last night. I'm in the same position. I've got a week of no work so I have time to recover if it goes wrong. After 2 years of Long Covid it's worth a try to see if it makes a difference.

1.5 measly miles today, but it was enough to fulfil my yearly Strava target, think I will be setting a lower target next year!

Finding running harder and harder each time I go out 😟

A slow parkrun on a lumpy three lap course around Potternewton park in Leeds. Hope to start picking it up in the New Year.
