Runners thread number 7

[Sirzy]

Open for any runners, or any runners looking to get their 'mojo' back.

I have a 10k on Sunday which I am feeling less than prepared for, and the stomach bug is just adding to that. I have a feeling I will be the slowest runner!

3.4 from me this morning - a bit plodding after Sunday's 10K but better than nothing

426.3

Oops, x-post with Mitchy (keep meaning to say it's nice to see you back again).

431.3

:) thank you :)

3.3 very windy miles. I despise the wind and seemed to be running into it nearly the whole way.

That would have weirded me out too Mitchy

429.6

Missed a post 434.6 even

5 miles last night in 49 minutes! Fastest I've managed yet Was a club run but the slower people that I normally run with weren't there so I did the first 2 miles with a much faster group but after a while I had to tell them to carry on so I could slow down a little!! Ran the rest on my own and recovered speed after about another mile, but still very pleased with the time.

Weird indigestiony feeling all night and breathlessness. Was worried I'd done some damage to my ticker...until I realised it was probably more to do with the huuuuge cheese and home-made pickled onion sandwich I ate for my dinner just before I went to bed...

I've just started a half marathon training programme so did 30 minutes last night - 2.6 miles in 30 mins which wasn't too shabby

2.8 miles from me today, first run this week so that's 437.4 I think. But I don't think Biggles or Irian have added theirs...

Whoops 436.4

Oh feck I really can't work it out. Can someone who can count please help me?

Can I join in? Started running in August at my local park run and am now most definitely addicted. Ran home from work last night - 5.4miles to add to total which would bring us to 440

449.4 originalpiratematerial with the others who didn't add and yours and hipsdontlieunfortunately after. Don't panic

Wow Irian impressive pace!

4 miles for me tonight.

453.4

another 2.7 from me!

Hi all! Tentatively waving at everyone in here… I've just finished c25k so I feel like I can finally call myself a runner . However, I'm finding it much more difficult to keep up the motivation in the cold and rain, so hoping checking in in here will give me a bit of a kick up the backside boost.

hi LaughingM, it's almost like it doesn't count if I haven't logged it on Garmin and mentioned it on here

what do you plan to do each week, is c25k 30 mins 3x a week, will you keep up with the routine you are already in?

5.43 from me, so with Biggles I make it 461.53

Yes, c25k has been 3x a week, but it actually takes me about 40 mins to run 5k. Plan is to do two 30 minutes runs during the week and then a longer (ish!) run over the weekend building up about 5 minutes a week till I get to 10k. When I build up my confidence I might try some intervals as well to try and work on my speed a bit. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress but getting out the door is the hardest bit at the mo!

Get yourself to a parkrun laughingM!

the first 30 seconds are definitely the hardest, even now sometimes and I'm addicted to running and sulk on my 2 days off

can you treat yourself to some new bits of kit or other running related stuff so it's exciting to get out and use it?

2.2 from me this morning, first run in the dark, thanks to school holidays, need to go out before dh leaves for work. Was nice, chilly though! So 463.73. Will wait till Saturday to run now as want to run in the woods and don't fancy that in the dark!

Morning all, I haven't any miles to add as have been touristing around London this week - including a visit to the ENORMOUS sports direct on Oxford Street.
So when I get home I'm v keen to wear my lovely and cheap new full length leggings and my lovely and expensive dazzling hi vis yellow Nike top

Waves at Laughing welcome to the mad house.

Am going to Run Club. Well that's if the husband gets back in time........ He should be if the plane lands on time.
