Any Runners On Here??

[Regular.Cyclist]

Completed the planned 18 mile run this morning. Up and out early (6am) to make the most of the place being quiet and it, hopefully, being cooler. A bit of lingering overnight sea mist kept the temperature down but, just before halfway (when I was a little inland, the sun was breaking through and if was getting too warm for my liking in places. In the last quarter of the run I got back nearer the coast and the cooler temperatures.

I’d previously run the exact same route when training for London last year and Strava tells me today was 6 seconds a kilometre quicker on average, so pleased with that.

I managed an extremely slow 8 miles trying, and mostly succeeding to keep my heart rate in zone 2.

Anyone else get bothered by a headache a few hours after running? I try and make sure I’m hydrated, eat and drink when I get back, etc but never seem to totally avoid one. Hoping if I can reduce a bit of weight and run more frequently they will lessen.

Just found the photos from the Killer Mile on Bryan Dale's website.

This was on the bit where it ramps up beyond 20%, at about the 3/4 mile mark. I knew that this was where the race would be won or lost, so I'd run a little bit within myself up to this point, and really pushed here. Strava says that the lowest my pace dipped was 6:37/km, whereas last time (2016) it dropped to 8:50/km.

A real struggle to get round yesterday's 10k race. Weirdly the quads in my left leg felt like I'd already run a marathon, while my right quads felt ok. About 15 minutes slower than expected😮
Physio appointment booked for Friday🤞

Hard work!

Need to get back running tbh

Did parkrun Saturday hilly course in 22mins.

Bussed it into work today and did a runmute home. A smidge over 6.5 miles with two hills in between though an overall drop to (almost) sea level.

Hilly 10k trail race came in 26th an 52:27.

Not bad having only run two park runs in previous 2 months!!

Carrying extra 3kg I reckon. 75 rather than 72kg!

Manchester 10k on the telly at 11am. Start time 11.30am. I'll stick it on and watch. Mo Farrah's second last race.

Second last long run today (20 miles) before tapering begins a week tomorrow. Felt good today and 5 sec /km quicker than target pace.

One of our club members was fifth lady in the half, a time of 1:25 in that heat. 😯

She's always been quick but hasn't half speeded up over the last few years.

Another bus to work and run home day. Legs felt a bit heavy after Sunday’s long run and a constant headwind but didn’t show in the average pace.

 

[Chislenko]

I can't compete with any of these heroic running stories but I did get a PB in last Saturday's Park Run!!

Oh to be forty years younger 😟

Another Park Run completed this morning, a bit slower than last week but felt "comfortable" at the end so must have paced myself better.

Strikingly low turnout compared to previous weeks, my cynical mind asks myself if some people have boycotted due to the current transgender row.

For those who haven't read the story a lady in South Wales has lost all her course records to basically a bloke who now identifies as a woman.

It’s making a mockery of fair competition. Sooner all sports do what British Cycling has the better. Better not say any more or it’ll be shut down.
