2015 Running Thread Part 6

Grrr, phone gps jumped all over the place again, so I'm guessing my mileage - about 3.5 miles I think.

283.19+3.5=288.69

have entered a 10k in Spain to console self over the 50k that am evidently not going to be anywhere remotely fit for!

11.1 from me

• 272.09 = 283.19

I ran in the heat of the midday sun
but it wasnt all that bad really:o
the tide was out so I ran a few miles on the beach

Hi RunningLou I hope your knee continues to go from strength to strength:)

runningLou Something like the Cool Running beginners plan might work - one day of speed work and easy running for the rest of it, peaks at 25 mpw.

Can I join please? Am looking for recommendations for a 10k training plan - has anyone used a good one? I am regaining fitness and speed after a knee op at Easter. Signed up for a 10k for last weekend of Sept which will mark 6 months from my op when recovery is supposed to be complete. Last time I did a 10k was April 2014 and before that a few in summer 2013 but I was a lot faster (and lighter!) back then and didn't really follow a proper plan for training.
I am running 3 x per week roughly at the mo, generally 5-8k with one longer run of 10k ish. Want to get faster though!
Also has anyone got any good weight loss tips to go along with running training?

They're not measly Lagoonablue, they are miles

4 from me with my doggies (yay!) but didn't let them off! No running tomorrow as I'm rd but I'm planning to tag along with a local club that isnt mine's Sunday run, although haven't mentioned it to dh yet
262.09

258.09

5 from me

250.59 + 5 = 255.59

and then 2.5 from lagoona

Loueytb3 The only ballot I've ever gotten in through is the Great North Run (x2). I've been rejected 5 times from London... this year I'll be 13-14 ish weeks when the ballot results come out. Murphy's law says this will be my year!

A measly 2.5 mls from me.

9.12 from me today didn't feel great day off tomorrow to freshen up
250.59

ooh 594.20 so far this year. I definitely need deserve some new trainers

Finally starting to feel better, 5.2 from me this morning, started very slowly but did speed up and don't feel too bad now. Hurrah. Bloody hate being ill. I've lost 10 days marathon training but I think I will be ok as long as I don't get ill again

myblackcat - I've only done one marathon (so far) which was London and I figured that if I was only going to do it once, I could do it for charity. I think if you find a charity that has a personal connection and it is your first marathon, you will find it's not that hard to raise the sponsorship. I did it for the miscarriage association, which is a UK charity, and I had old school friends who live overseas sponsor me. One of them sponsored me £100. I haven't seen them since I was 18. Tis the power of Facebook. I do understand it's not easy though. I've never got a place through the ballot on any race (and I've tried London x 4, GNR x 1, Royal Parks x 3).

trijo I'm working from home today to avoid the strike but I would have been running as well if I had to go in.

Need to go and check this year's mileage I think...

241.47

Hill repeats this morning, did 7 which I didn't think I'd manage but I did, so v chuffed.
Have done 532 miles this year so far,quite happy with that.
236.27

My youngest child is twenty something, my time is almost all my own so it's pretty easy to fit running in, the main limitation for me is the threat of injury if I overdo it on distance. ?

4 miles home from work yesterday in lashing rain and 4 miles back in today in a case of tube strike avoidance!

233.63

4 early morning miles minus dogs still this morning with my running buddy who's trying to get back her fitness after her pgce, so no walking breaks 225.63

Well dont be too impressed- my youngest child is now 3 and when she'd just started crawling I was a stranger to my trainers . I'm always v impressed with people who maintain any sort of running/ exercise regime through pregnancy and the first year, especially when they have older DC as well. With DS I was quite good as we'd just moved countries and I wasnt working so I was "full time pregnant" and used to exercise every day. With DD I was back at work and sick as a dog. i dont think I even made it to pregnancy yoga.

Hi 5.5 from me on Tuesday. Club run was nice but I think our runs through the park will soon be over in the evenings getting dark again.

Heading to Ireland tomorrow with the kids so hoping to get some long runs in with all the family wanting to spend time with them!

Been a bit manic today trying to pack and get ready especially as DD has begun to crawl and is getting stuck in everywhere.

Am impressed by everyone's mileage.

221.63

I keep meaning to say it is not far from kimmi's due date-anyone heard from her?

added everyone else's + 8.23 from me 216.13

Just back from a fab holiday in Scotland - plenty of walking and sea kayaking but no running, its just a bit hilly where we were

Ran about 3 miles tonight (gps went crazy so I don't know exactly...), nice and slow to ease me back in!

6.5 from me and spaniel on club trail run, considering how much walking our group did am v pleased with our time of 1:12

but where is the latest total?

Some of you run miles - I'm a little bit jealous

3.2 miles covered in an interval session on a treadmill so v boring.
