Thanks Keyser - but it's still not there Hmm. As you say, I must have hidden it, but goodness knows how I did that (or how to unhide).

I can see the thread when I am logged out.

I can't see it when I am logged in, it's not on TIO or TIW.

I searched your user name (while logged in) and found other threads you have posted on, but not this one.

Then I searched "running thread" (while logged in) and found it again.

I'm going for a run!

KeyserSophie · 30/08/2015 10:49

ohone Sounds like you've accidentally hidden the thread. Hopefully posting on it will unhide it.

12 from me to make 1246.01. Did the race, Far too much road (albeit traffic free) for my liking and was wishing I'd worn road shoes by half way, as the 10k of trail was doable in road shoes and I think I'd have benefited earlier on. Didn't push myself hard enough either and not sure why. Feel far too okay Grin. Haven't seen the results yet (not live) but think I was 5th or so in category. Ah well. Got a month now until the 2 Peaks (23k) and then the big night marathon 2 weeks after that, and then the 70k 2 weeks after that. Then I'm just going to eat cake until Christmas.

Re heatstroke, sweating should make you less prone to it I think as you get heatstroke because your body is producing heat faster than you can get rid of it and people who sweat a lot are better at temperature regulation. My friend just finished UTMB- not sure of his time but 36hrs-ish I think

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 30/08/2015 10:22

This is strange.

I knew I posted on this thread last night, but it's not in TIO.

I knew it was in exercise, but when I go to the topic I can't see it on the list of threads.

I found it by searching for it on the MN homepage.

Is it only me? Have you all run away and hidden from me?

suzannefollowmyvan · 29/08/2015 20:22

you ran a magic number of miles ohoneoh :o

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 29/08/2015 20:15

Sorry! I must have been on another page!

1234.01

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 29/08/2015 20:14

Lots of good running here! A paltry 7.1 to offer since I last posted.

734.78

lastqueenofscotland · 29/08/2015 20:04

Treadmill I found was ok- it had a telly attached! Another 6 today. Travelling one tomorrow and looking forwards to being back outside on Monday 1226.91

The heat stroke sounds awful :(

Some interesting points there Suzanne. Maybe men are more liable to get heatstroke...they certainly seem to sweat more (in my club, anyway!)
And yes, maybe the adrenalin is responsible for experienced runners making mistakes. One of the older guys in my club is terrible, he has always run loads and has done many ultra trails but frequently ends up not finishing because he vomits so much due to the effort/heat/whatever.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 29/08/2015 18:23

Popping on to place mark and so this goes back into my active threads list. Will catch up now.

suzannefollowmyvan · 29/08/2015 16:15

Her experienced OH and another guy from the club both got heat stroke, threw up and were unable to finish

yikes, that sounds nasty :(

apart from being a bit better at keeping the old ego in check I think women's smaller body size (more favourable surface area to volume ratio) and smaller muscle mass would help guard against overheating?

Even so I'm surprised that experienced runners would get into trouble.

I guess the increased adrenalin in a race may block out danger signs that would other wise tell you to slow right down and take it easy?

Well done to all you treadmill runners. I just couldn't stand the boredom, even if it is raining, hailstones and gale force winds I'd still rather run outside! Well done on your Parkrun Purple sounds fun. An nice shoes Fluke the brighter the better! I used to always run in Asics until running ruined my feet and one nearly doubled in width.
My friend finished her 100km ultra trail in the Alps in 24 hours. Her experienced OH and another guy from the club both got heat stroke, threw up and were unable to finish. Women are often better in long race because they don't go off too fast and have a better regular pace. I always seem to pass men in a very bad state at the end of long races.
6 sociable miles from me after a run with a friend who has just come back from 4 weeks holiday (because in France, they can with often 45 days leave a year to compensate for 35 hour week Envy)

big [thumbs up] for the running shop Fluke :)

FlukeSkyeRunner · 29/08/2015 14:53

I got my new running shoes today, these ones:

www.upandrunning.co.uk/asics-womens-gel-cumulus-17?

They feel great. And are shockingly bright :)

The shop was fab, they matched the web price and threw in a free pair of socks. brilliant!

I'm really tempted to run in them tonight but I can still slightly feel shin splint pain so I'm trying to resist...

Purpletoes · 29/08/2015 13:57

Parkrun today it was hotter than I expected. It was also my locals 6th anniversary so lots of cake after it! 1206.01

MadFatRunner · 29/08/2015 11:01

1202.91 (3.1)

MadFatRunner · 29/08/2015 11:00

3 treadmill here, weather is beautiful but time is short and it's so much quicker to do it at the gym sometimes

1199.81 + 3 =

Whowouldfardelsbear · 29/08/2015 10:27

A 3.59, 3.51 and 4.01 from me. All on the treadmill - weather been rubbish.

Good luck to all of you with races coming up!

1199.81

14 on the treadmill! I would have been wobbly for ages after that!

suzannefollowmyvan · 28/08/2015 19:39

14 on the treadmillShock

I think you must win the prize for the most treadmill miles in one session Star

lastqueenofscotland · 28/08/2015 18:57

Ben Nevis sounds awful hills!! 14.1 treadmill miles to add as away and nowhere to run that isn't off road and crazy steep so being very boring!! 1188.7

emummy · 28/08/2015 14:19

Mixed pace run with dog in the sun. Now to get cake baked for ds's birthday party tomorrow...
1174.6

cinnamongreyhound · 28/08/2015 14:07

MadFatRunner · 28/08/2015 11:27

Good luck with your race on Monday myblackcat, I hope the weather isn't as bad as forecast!
Runtothehills congrats on getting a place in the BenNevis race, it sounds very challenging but fun. I'm very jealous of all your mountains, apart from a couple of valleys it is really quite flat around here.
I'm also very envious of my friend who is now 2 hours into the CCC ultra in the Alps (107kms). I did a lot of training with her over the summer and I'm sure she'll do well.
Good luck for Sunday Keyser
Suzanne my coach will be very unimpressed that I haven't had a rest this summer, but most of my running has been quite easy, not too much speedwork.
10 miles with the dog this morning

HalleLouja · 28/08/2015 09:26

3.1 miles from club 5k yesterday makes 1153.73.

runtothehills · 28/08/2015 07:31

Keyser that sounds great. We've just had an inaugural sky runner event here is Scotland a few guys from our club did it. I would love to do it but it needs a lot more training. 50k and 4250m ascent includes some technical rock-climbing sections, on my to do list Smile

Good luck with Sunday, hope you leave those pesky road runners eating your trail dust Wink
