Gaz Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Another five miles tonight. 4'57"/km pace, could have probably pushed it a bit more but legs still a bit sore from yesterday's run and squats last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. I could've elaborated tbh! Aiming for 13 miles tomorrow and had concerns about doing that in new trainers but managed to get out for a few miles last night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I got my first pair of running trainers for Christmas and I've covered 100 miles so far including a good few 10k runs honestly its the best money I've spent on running gear my legs and lungs are fucked but my feet never have any issues at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Delighted with my run today. Managed 22 miles in just over three hours (and I was deliberately trying not to go too fast in the first half). Took gels about every hour to get used to them. Much more confident about London now. Six weeks to go - a few more runs like that and I'll be more than happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often thought about posting my Runkeeper map / stats, but they all start and end at my house and I don't want you all coming round to rob me when I'm not in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah km3, km8 and km9 all had pretty lengthy uphill sections. I know on Strava you can set a 'privacy' section so that it doesn't show the exact start and end position.

eddiemunster Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Fifteen miles had to do today, got to Queen Street station at 15 on the button and could not be fucked looping about the town centre to make up an extra mile. Had the joy of finishing via Possil, which certainly encouraged me to keep moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run with this one now, using the pouch for three gels and putting the rest into one of the bottles. It's much less fiddly that way. The other bottle starts with water in it, and I top it up at water stations when I'm running low. Keeps me out of the chaos that can be the scramble for hydration! I don't bother with anything on training runs - I think it's useful to get your body used to having to cope with what it's got - but I wouldn't change my strategy for the marathon now. That said, might not work for you (just to cover myself)! I have ordered the one you use now from Amazon (using vouchers from doing surveys so it's cost me nothing!) so will get some practice with that and see how it works. Might end up using it without the bottles if it's too bulky or heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Did 7 miles last night. Had a bit of a rest week last week (still running/working out plenty but generally taking it a bit easier) as was feeling pretty fatigued on my runs both physically and mentally. Seems to have helped as average pace was 7:30 which is about 40 seconds per mile faster than my previous best on that run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Had 8 days away from any running due to work and some kind of horrible virus where I was utterly fucked for days my whole body was aching. Anyway went for a wee recovery run to ease back into it this afternoon. Ended up fucking flying out the blocks (well for me anyway) did 5k knocking 90 seconds off my personal best in the process 30:05 which I was amazed with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Got told tonight by someone who has been running for years and won plenty of age group categories that there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a pint the night before a marathon. Guessing that applies for other races too. Makes no difference to me as I don't drink (maybe I should start based on this) but thought I'd pass on the advice as I'm sure some folk on here will be pleased to hear it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 First Köln Parkrun this morning! Despite bolting twice for a tram, got there on time. 69 runners for the first time, great number.Hilly route though, two times round this large park that is essentially two hills and a large duck pond.Hit a lifetime PB of 23:19 and came in 17th. Buzzing since! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a nice run. I was at Pollok today. Managed to smash my Pollok PB which was pleasing. There were signs up asking for volunteers to help with a new Parkrun ... there was someone's email address to contact to see if anyone wanted to help but I didn't have my phone / pen etc. Does anyone know where this new parkrun is scheduled to be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
