Runners thread number 6

[Sirzy]

For all running chat!

Yay! We're back to miles!

Apologies for slack posting, real life getting in the way like a rotter. But it's August, so new month, new start for me.

I did 6.5 miles this evening so let's just add this up...30.34

(Happy to be corrected)

Long run at 6am this morning, quite muggy but reasonably cool with cloud cover. Still finding running in the heat difficult. Miles 14 doing a recce of the second lap of my HM course (only 6 weeks away now!).

New August total is 44.34.

How's everyones' running today, any parkruns?

3.2 miles from a very slow easy Park Run.
So happy to have done it, to have run with others, and to have returned home without any injuries! :)

DS (5 years old) wanted to run with me, so we did the first lap together. It gave me a chance to take it really easy and stretch alot. I then jogged the final 2 and a half laps at a really nice pace. Feel like I'm getting back finally...

No pain in hamstring :)

Ah, so that makes it 46.54 miles, I think?

So I did my first parkrun and was relatively impressed. My target was 30 mins and did it in 28.25. Struggled a bit but want to beat the time. Competitive moi?

49.64 miles

So impressed I posted twice.

It was fun and flat.

Feet am going to do the one at Hatfield House. I just need to register now. Think it should be flat too.

52.74 from a wet and slow parkrun from me. Slow and steady wins the day. Or at least finishes!

Glad it went well Hallelouja

Back off Holidays now, so catching up.

briteside thinking of you and your family and wishing you a speedy recovery.

After reading an article, I stupidly decided to see if I can run everyday until I go back to school work on the 1st of September. I have currently done 9 days in a row, I am sure life will get in the way soon, and i'll miss one!!

The Half marathon is getting closer and closer and I haven't managed more than 9 miles yet, I really need to get a long run in. I was hoping to do one today, but it's looking unlikely.

Anyway enough rambling, on to house keeping last month I need to add 2:03:46 on so the final total so far is 152:52:27 I think!!

6 days, 6 hours, 52 mins and 27 seconds!!

Oh and this month - a 5k and a parkrun so far 6.2

58.94

4.4 miles this am, so63.34. Was really hard; have a hill race in 3 weeks so went for a run up that hill, only the path open just now is not the one I'll be racing on, it went up over twice the height over twice the distance. Was reduced to walking more than once, the only good bit was getting to hurtle downhill at high speed! Don't think I'll be taking up hill racing!
Well done on the streak so far karatekimmi, keep it up!

Just popping in to add 4 miles from this morning 67.34.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Glad you enjoyed parkrun Halle. Good luck with your challenge kimmi.

8.08 miles from me this morning. Training plan said to do a 1 hour 15 minute Long Slow Distance run and I definitely listened to the slow bit :)

Gives us 75.42

I did a very warm 6.5 miles today with a couple of walking breaks :( 81.95, we're racing along this month already!

I think I mentioned before we were ttc, well I'm pregnant and due 8th April! It will make me 13 weeks when I do rnr and about 20 weeks if I do Norwich half! Will have to see how it goes re running but I hope to carry on as longh as possible even if I'm just plodding!

Congratulations cinnamon!

Well done cinnamon. Hoping for an uneventful pregnancy.

Hi all, new to the site but please can I join in. I did 7.5 miles today, it was a proper slog in the heat. 89.45

Congratultions cinnamon

we are ttc also and I keep booking races to tempt fate not working, still not knocked up no reason why you cant keep running, and 10 months after, channel Jo Pavey for that comeback!! was barely showering and dressing 10 months after mini kimmi, let alone winning a bronze medal

oh and 2.2 miles which makes 91.65

Welcome Bluebird and congratulations Cinnamon - a baby runner, so exciting :)

HalleLouja - well done on your parkrun, that's a great time. I've signed up to do the Hatfield House 10k so get your form in :)

6.1 miles from me yesterday. Was the furthest I've run since the Zoo Stampede and the first time I've done that route in a year, boy have I improved - knocked 45secs a mile off my previous best :o :o :o

Total 97.75

huge congratulations to cinnamon. Best wishes for a lovely pregnancy.

Well done feet! Fantastic improvement!

Yay! Congrats cinnamon!
8th April excellent day- DSbirthday
