Barns Green HM today in 1:46. Very satisfied with that given that I am mid marathon training and ran 20 miles on Tuesday. Also only 3 mins down on my last effort in 2016 and I’m much older now 😁.It really is a great race - the very definition of undulating.
And made it to the Amex with enough...
Anyone else at Barns Green on Sunday? One of my favourite races but I don’t think I’ve done it since 2016 - I doubt I’ll get near the times I was running back then.
Five weeks away from a marathon so managed a 20 mile run this week - not easy with the weather!
Just walked past the bottom of Westbourne Villas, Road is closed but didn’t seem to be very high state of tension. People still playing croquet opposite in true British spirit.
Had my Garmin 235 for a good five years now and if I replaced it I would probably go for the 245 which was around £150 on Amazon recently.
Heard a lot of good things about Coros recently - especially about battery life.
My son is working on the bar.it’s £7 for a can of Madri! At that price unsurprising that the queues weren’t too bad!
They’re getting paid £10ph so someone is making a few bob!!
Dawn on the Downs today - lovely race, low key trail run through beautiful scenery north of Worthing near Highdown. 10mile, 10k and 5k distances. Very happy to finish 24th of 116 in 10 miler.
Going forward definitely more the kind of event I want to take part in rather than the big city events.
Who’s doing Phoenix 10k on Wednesday? I’m giving it a miss this year as running fast is not doing my Achilles any good.
I’ll be there watching though.
Sheffield Endcliffe parkrun on Saturday - very crowded - 600+ runners many celebrating NHS 75th anniversary. Ran well until Achilles started...
