morrison Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Well done to those running over the last few days. Did the Luxembourg Night HM on Saturday, starting in about 29 degrees and feeling even hotter. Deeply unpleasant, walked often. Thank god I dropped down from the full! Edged slightly under 1:50 but just glad to finish!Good support along the route, would have enjoyed it more had it been 15 degrees cooler! It was about 25 even when the sun disappeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Craig Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Me and the wife always make sure we splash joggers with puddles when out in the motor. A few times we've even taken to chucking eggs or fag ends, bottles of juice whatever comes to hand. Great laugh, can't beat it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I managed to run it all, other than a toilet stop 2 miles from home. Did the 10k on Saturday. 1:05:15 was my time in my first 10k. Not too bad but could have been better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Watching the live stream of Comrades on youtube...bloody amazing stuff. I know two people running today, both going strong, and one of them running her third. The 12 hr cut off's around 4.30pm if you want to tune in the some cruelty.A definite bucket list race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Carlisle Tri Club 10k last night, finished 31st in 42.07 which was comfortably a PB. Main annoyance was no showers afterwards and it was two hours after finishing before I got home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 10 miles last night in 1hr 10. Hoping to enter a half at some point his year aiming for sub 1hr 30. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Got the Giffnock North 10k tonight. Ran 12k on Monday as prep (not really because I only signed up when drunk on Tuesday). That was the longest I'd ever ran and only done 10k + about 3 times before it. Best time I've got for a 10k is about 43 minutes but would like to think I can beat that tonight. Always tend to perform better in a race when I have other people to try and beat Edited June 8, 2017 by paul-r-cfc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I cant seem to motivate myself at the moment. skipped the run this morning - need to sign up for something to get me out of bed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was running marathons and 7 minute miles and now I would struggle to run for the bus. One thing I try to do is get my mates to do parkrun with me ... if I know I'm picking up someone and going to the parkrun, I'll never dinghy it - whereas if I was just doing it on my tod, I'd probably end up in the pub on Friday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I cant seem to motivate myself at the moment. skipped the run this morning - need to sign up for something to get me out of bed Must be something in the air I seem to have fallen off the wagon a little too. Had a bad cold a few weeks ago and still trying to convince myself it will be more beneficial to skip my runs! Hasn't helped that it's coincided with a few milestone birthdays in the family too so far easier to just go out on the sauce than get up early for a run!

paul-r-cfc Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Managed the rouken glen 10k in 41.57. Quite a tough, hilly course so I'd fancy my chances at getting below 40 on a more straightforward one. Dragged myself out for Pollok parkrun on Saturday too. Not the best performance as I was still a bit tender from Thursday. 20.32 was decent enough all things considered. Aim is to consistently score under 20 with the eventual goal of going after my pb of 18.52. Lot of work to do on that front 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 How can you all run so fast! 43 minute 10k?! Insane [emoji20] Lots of practice! My first 10k was 52 mins; now I've run a couple of sub-40s. That was 5 years of progress, mind.Structured sessions helps...first couple of years I was going out and running at the same pace all the time. Intervals and the likes made a big difference. And parkrun was initially great motivation, chasing the clock and people! But toy know this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socks Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I finally found out the cause of my many months of hobbling - there's a tear of the cartilage inside the hip joint, caused by the hip being slightly the wrong shape. I need surgery and it sounds lovely - they basically pull the joint apart far enough to get a camera and surgical tool between ball and socket, then smooth out the cartilage and sew up the tear. Brutal as it sounds, I'm counting down the days to the op! I was also told that there are some early signs of arthritis though, so I'm really hoping I don't get told to stop running completely - that would be pretty hard to accept. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, and if not, I hope to be back to it to some extent by the end of the year. I've been looking at some stuff to help with recovery and getting the muscles working again after the op, and pilates looks like it might be worth a shot. It seems that it's mainly women who do it but I'm not especially put off by that. Has anyone had a shot, and if so, how did you find it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrison Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Great to hear you've finally got an answer to your troubles, Socks. And, er, I had my good luck! You're due some.In smug news, GFA for London opened up today, and application is in. Not that I'm running myself just now, but I'm sure it'll all work out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
