2015 Running Thread Part 6

No problem

Thanks germs

I forgot to add mine

1365.96

Oops, x post. Adding OhOneOhTwo's miles should make

1365.96

Some great racing going on there, well done everyone .

Oh no, MadFatRunner, hope not, just what you don't need

I have 14.2 to add from three runs, last week and this morning. Getting grumpy without my long runs, cycling is ok, but just not the same!

1339.11 + 14.2 = 1353.31

12.65 over 2 runs to add from me. Yesterday was slow because I was running in my local country park on wet slippery grass. Today I ran out to my nearest big hill and ran up and down it a few times. Quite tired by the end. Well done runtothehills or your 5 miles - I only did 2 miles of hills.

lastqueen I feel the same. I was thinking on my way back today about some of the training runs I was doing 2 years ago (running in the rain reminded me of them) and just could not believe that I was doing those distances.

Well done BlackCat and Keyser and Cinners and Neeko and Delia on your races.

Hope it's not a stress fracture MadFat (I don't like calling you that!)

Impressive progress Suzanne and Halle

You must have been looking good fardelsbear

Your run sounds nice emummy. I've only seen magpies the last two days.

I hope that's everyone

Well done racers!

16 miles from me longest this year 1339.11 glad I finished it but hoping to get back to marathon distance next year and that worried me it really really hurt and the last 4 miles were dreadful. (Though staring and my app waiting for it to clock to the next mile probably didn't help)

I did my hill race, I wanted to win the first local female but didn't, that person was also first overall female and much quicker than me. It was very wet and muddy and steep in places but I enjoyed running in the rain ????

4.7 from me so 1323.11

And well done KeyserSophie, it's always hard not to beat yourself up about something when you've raced but I'm never in contention for anything so probably a bit different.

We've lost some miles! Was 1296.51 and went down to 1022.26 so I think it should actually be 1318.41

Congratulations on racers from the weekend, Keyser sounds quite a tight result, especially for the "geriatrics" . Sounds like nipping in under the 2 hour mark is an excellent result and you'll tank past them on the trail races!!

emummy when's your HM? it must be soon.

12 to add from Saturday and today. 7 up hill behind house, and 5 mile hill intervals (which I haven't done in ages) today. 1040.76

Well done Delia, cinnamon and neeko and hope it went well Black cat. I thought it was weird to have a race on a Monday but then I remembered you have a BH today.

A nice social 5 miler from me this evening to make 1028.76. Saw 2 porcupines, the first I've ever seen in 6 years in HK, although DH sees them all the time on the route he normally runs.

Got the results from my race. Was 5th in the geriatric category in quite a tight pack (1:57 was the winner, 1:59:26 was me). Outright women's winner was 1:48. Trying not to beat myself up about not pushing harder on the trail section. It's hard when you have no idea where everyone else is, but it's a feature of trail racing and I need to figure out how to make myself max out when I don't know if the next runner is round the corner or 1km in front.

1022.26 + 1.5 (99.9% sure have new stress fracture from dancing at weekend ) = 1023.76

3.4 miles today - first non-treadmill run in two weeks, and first ever car-full of teenage boys giving me a tooting serenade.

Was good to be outside again!

1022.26

Not been on in a few weeks so have 15.5 to log from last two weeks, and then my big yaaaaaay for today is I did my local 10k race this morning and a) finished it, b) didn't come last and c) beat my time from when I practiced the route a few weeks ago.

So another 6.2 is 21.7 from me, making total 1296.51 I think?

Good luck tomorrow MyBlackCat
Lovely run in the sunshine this morning along quiet country roads with swallows for company - and a very startled pheasant!
1274.81

I did 2.5 treadmill intervals the other day so 1263.31

I running in an actual race tomorrow up and down hills, forecast is wet so expecting it to be a muddy one Ive not had to pin a number to a vest for years!

I dont know what my race pace is but my 'easy' pace over 10-12 miles has gone from 11:00 to 9:30 in the past 8 months, that's without doing any speed work.

if my experience is anything to go by then speed sort of floats up on it's own if you just keep running

That's impressive Halle. I guess you never know!

3.4 miles to add here. Volunteered at parkrun then went for a run later in the day. 1261.81.

Well done anyone who raced today. Neeko I have managed to drop 6 1/2 minutes from my original 10k time in a year. Anything is possible.

Thanks Cinnamon. Well done to you. Can't ever imagine running at your pace!

Well done Neeko and KeyserSophie!

I did run Norwich today, inaugural 10k in Norwich, it was a great race even though the start was very slow! I really enjoyed it and did much better than expected 57:42 by my watch 1258.41

Hi all. Did my very first 10k race today in 70 mins. Not fast but I'm really pleased with myself. Nice tshirt and medal at the end too.

1252.21

you'll need to unhide it, cant remember how though!
