I seem to be 1 behind most as only my 3rd at Brighton. I dropped out last year after proving to myself I couldn’t run 2 marathons in a week but fairly sure I’ll complete it this time round in something under 4 hours. Last year was way too hot, hoping for 2016 conditions when it was cloudy, cool...
As runners it's a rarity to find everything coming together and running in harmony. Right now you have the pace, the fitness, the stamina and seem to be free of injuries. Sundays run shows what your capable of. 58 mins to run 10k is plenty for sub 3:30, you could walk a mile of that and still...
It's the worst training in my book and the one I will usually swerve and substitute for anything else. I've decided hill climbs are an equivalent and more fun. I'm happy in my ignorance with this view and don't want to be told different.
I'm trying to crank up the mileage this week as I'm well...
I'm in the your alive and your dead camp. Nothing before and nothing after. I'm always amazed when I discover perfectly rational, intelligent people I know haul themselves off to church every Sunday. But like others on here I'm not anti religion and share Einsteins view that religions are based...
The Arsenal game meant Sunday's run became Saturday's run today. Had one of those horrible runs where you just can't get going. No reason for it, but after 6 miles I'd had enough. The planned 20 miles stopped at Costa when a large Americano and cake became too tempting. Managed 14 miles but very...
I picked up a head cold last week and only managed 3 miles on Sunday. I've been cautious about running outside but there's only so much I can do on a treadmill so decided to run 7 miles today and really enjoyed it. Part on part off load the Salomon speed cross ensured I never skipped a beat...
I've been full of snot since weds so I've made good use of my big nuts and Ninja Elephant half and half scarf merchandise.
Good luck to all those running tomorrow, enjoy the sunshine.
Mrs harmonica is involved with the Christmas decorations at the Amex. Barber didn’t like these and they got binned. I think I still have 7 or 8 we could use to form some kind of hat so all NSC runners were easily recognisable.
Thanks. Ran in a bib with Emily scrubbed out and a big black cross to indicate I was one of the disorganised there to be rinsed and refused a medal. I grabbed one at the finish as Emily deserved it so on reflection I'm now happy with my £40 fee. Fairly conservative time for me but felt strong...
Wow that’s more than I was expecting. I was under the impression the cost was coming down as there’s no medal. I’ll still run but that’s way too much money.
I decided to have a quiet week after familiar foot issues after last Sunday's run. Only a precaution but I'm much more risk averse after last years problems. A few days rest seems to have settled things down and managed a 15 miler after a particularly nice red and take away ruby helped see...
Good run from Greg Bobkin today and some amazing park run times yesterday from nsc runners. The super egos could have some new faces by the summer.
My 15 mile Sunday run became 17 miles after I missed my turn. I clocked 105 miles in January which is a fifth of what I managed last year.
Love Leo but don’t think he’s got anything more to offer than what we already have. I’d sooner stick with Hemed, underrated on here but he is already match fit and always gives 100%
I got caught in 2 minds as to whether to wait for the temperature to go up or go out before the rain came. In the end I got cold and wet but managed a steady 13 miles. Runs like that make dry January a real slog. I could destroy a Harvey's right now
