I don’t know how the rest of NSC runners feel but I have almost given up on BM happening in September. I’ve not entered any kind of training regime in the expectation of it being cancelled and now selfishly hope that is the case. Manchester now announcing theirs is cancelled so surely only a...
Agreed. I have no idea why no further action is being taken.
Maupay will be the pantomime villain for a few seasons. I get the suspicion he will relish the prospect.
Well done, sounds like you had a comfortable 24 hours. It has been good to have something to focus on after so many cancellations. I feel quite spaced out. I can’t decide if it feels like I just landed on a flight from Singapore or I just got home after a night in the Zap.
I think I enjoyed it...
How are you getting on jimingham? 6 now to go and fatigue is becoming an issue for me along with chaffing around my crutch. I think the next 3 will be the toughest as it will be getting light just after 4 and I’m hoping that brings renewed energy.
Like the look of this. Will present all kinds of challenges in the early hours. I’ve signed up, just need to find a flat mile loop near me.
I may plant a tree.
Thanks gaffer. After last weeks attempt I felt every day of my 52 years but today was far better. I may need to do some specific speed work training to achieve similar improvements before next time.
I won’t trouble GNT over today but I’m still unhappy with my Burgess Hill 10k time in 1989. I...
Second attempt at the mile bought my time down to 6:03. Differing times between Garmin and Strava so I’ll let the gaffer decide but either way I took at least 13 seconds off my first attempt and got my AG in the 70’s. I thought I’d be satisfied with that but now being so close to sub 6 I’m going...
Managed to have a go at the mile challenge. 6:17 according to Garmin with AG 68:60. Tough going and unable to avoid starting off too quick and feeling it at with a third of a mile to go. I really don’t want to do it again but I set out to get into the 70’s and being so close means I’ll have...
I’m going to give this a go later in the week. It will be interesting as it’s not a distance I have competed or timed myself in and have no idea what I’m capable of. 5:35 would be needed to better the gaffers AG. Fairly obvious that won’t happen but I’d like to think I could get I the low 70’s.
Nice 10 miler in the sun for me where I easily negotiated my way past the 2 people,1 dog a couple of cyclists along the route without breaking the 2m boundary rules.
Wasn’t BM next weekend? Still disappointed it’s not on but predictable 21 degrees would have made it a tough day.
I enjoyed an 11 mile run in the sun. I’m not too stressed over the race cancellations, today was just about getting out there for the love of it and and finding a bit of time away from the chaos. I wore my new Mizuna wave shoes today after having them sitting in a box for 2 months waiting for...
My respect to all those who ran Brighton half last week. Sounded like a day you dread come race day.
I’m away where up till yesterday the weather has been so hot and humid I’ve been struggling to run outside (sorry). But yesterday a storm came in and we had so much rain it flooded the basement...
