Runners thread number 6

Dh's friend didn't end up running last night so, while I had said that I would take it easy - and to be fair, I didn't feel like I was pushing hard - I had no-one to slow me down....

Which means I can only add 52:28 to the time total as I PBd again! 4th time in 4 weeks

Thankfully, it didn't and doesn't hurt as I've still got that half marathon to run on Sunday.

380.93 minutes. 6:21:33 hours ?? I think

Sorry! 5:29:05 hours or 328.65 mins if we are doing the minutes tally as decimal. Maybe we should round to the nearest minute?

7km from me last night in 36.33 mins so that makes the total 328.65 minutes or 5:28:65 hours including 5madthings run of 34 minutes.

I've noticed that around 5km I feel crap and like I won't get much further, then a km later I seem to hit my stride and perk right up. Does everyone get this? Once I hit that point I can't stop or I would being able to get going again!

6.30km in 40:17. 4:18:32??

That would be cool if we could run for a month! Nothing to add from me today, just went for a walk to get pesky dd to sleep stretch my legs on my rest day.

5madthings hill sprints sound v virtuous and good for speed stamina. And possibly your friend hates you

josh well done on your 10k, sounds like you managed your energy really well. I still fall into the trap of starting to fast and dying at the end on virtually every run ATM.

I was out for 34mins this eve on my run.

3:38:15 with my half hour this evening.

I did 3.8km this eve but some of that was sprints up and down a hill, my friends idea as she says it's good for improving stamina and speed, personally I think she is just a sadistic bastard

Not sure of time will go look at mapmyrun app.

The time thing is going to be a challenge! I was thinking about it on my run this morning - could we run for a month between us? 744 hours? That might be a little ambitious?

Anyway I ran for 52minutes today which bring us to 3:07:59 or 187minutes.

Ran a whole 10k and managed to speed up at the end, which I was pleased about. It did feel quite good - or better than my other longer runs. It was actually quite chilly when I left the house but getting much warmer when I returned.

Adding times is hard!!

What is the target going to be? Can we run, cumulatively, for a week??

I am going to be rounding all my runs to 30 mins, 45 mins or 60 mins (or 90 mins, phew). As I am crap at maths!

Yay! Finally got bk out this evening. 5.24k in 30.32. Does that make it 2:15:59?? I'm not good with the adding times either!

I will be doing a nice long (certainly in the temporal sense - or do I mean chronological sense ) tomorrow morning as I am running to work but experimenting with a new route. Also the latter part of the route gets incredibly clogged up with grumpy bike commuters (it's along the Regent's Canal) so that will slow me down.

Hello everyone. Welcome to all the newbies and well done to all the PBs.

I would like to add 28:41 to the time total so we are at 1:44:57 so far.

My local parkrun has relocated to a new home, much nearer my house and easy to get to by bus or even on my bike! So I'm going to go, either this week, or if not, definitely next week. Excited!

I know what you are all saying about unsupportive/uber competitive/pain in the arse DHs. My DP insists on going on, all the time, about how he did the great north run in under 2.5 hours and he stopped for a Burger King half way round!

DH runs though Hopefully - and admits that he only started so that he could be faster than me! The running friend is one of his childhood mates - and a 6 foot male too. The fact that little 5'1" me can pace him to anything is impressive enough but the fact that he helped get me into running makes it a bit more special I think.

I bet he takes notice if when I beat his PB! I've only got about 2 and a half minutes to lose evil

That's great blatherskite, you should be proud and (insert tongue poking out emoticon) to your dh!

Blathers I think my DH is a bit bewildered by the running too! Although he is inching his way through c25k, he's only doing it to lose weight, he doesn't particularly enjoy it. I wish he would find a sport he loves. He used to sail loads, but it's too time consuming and expensive now we have small DCs.

Most random soreness from last night's run - the tops of my feet ache! I think it's the muscles going up the front of my foot into my ankle. Also have a small blister from sweaty feet - really need some non cottony sports socks.

Or if we're doing it just in minutes, it's 76.16 (I used a calculator for that )

Just shy of 5k this morning. Not sure I'm going to get on with ths adding time business as I often struggle with adding up seconds, minutes and hours because it's 60 not a nice round 10, if you see what I mean, so apologies in advance if I add up incorrectly.

So adding my 31:16 onto Cinnamon's 45 mins equals....erm...1:16:16.

I've got a 10k to do tonight so I should have something to add later.

When I first started running, a friend of DH's convinced me first, to start parkrun and then, to join my first running club. He'd been running for a while and was enjoying it and I think following his suggestions really helped me get into running and begin really enjoying it. Last night, he asked me to pace him to a new 10k PB. I'm really quite proud of myself DH just doesn't get it

No weather here is not nice like they said, though the sun is out now we have rain! It was meant to be dry today!

I like this tally keeping of distance.

I just gor a new notebook as I want to keep track of my weight and measurements and I shall put in my distances run and Times as well.

I will add mine for this morning and we can decide on a target after :) need to think about average pace and how far we go. I can't remember who suggested hours but someone said they felt they could contribute more if it was time as they are on the slower side!

45 mins from me this morning. Not as lovely weather here as they said it would it be :(

Sorry its a bit late but can I add my 8km from yesterday on please?

2054

Welcome to all you lovely new thread folk, great to have you here! Fast, slow, veteran, new...if you get off the sofa, put your trainers on and get out the door you are a runner!!!

Amazing to hit the over 2000km goal - do tomorrow we start logging time. Every second counts! Every minute is a winner! If you can add an hour or more, that is pretty darn amazing. The pace is unimportant, it is how long you are moving whilst wearing your trainers :)

I hope I got that right!

I did my first run this year today! Have been crap and stopped going bit did 5km in 35 mins a bit of that was walking but it was surprisingly ok! I do walk everywhere and bike 8-12 milesa day with toddler on back of bike so my fitness levels a're not as crap as I thought.

Oging to start on wks 5 of couch to 10k now to prepare for 10k in oct.
