Smashed my 10k PB at the Trafford 10k yesterday!

41:42!

My previous PB was 44:36 so I don’t know where that came from!!

Lots of people running really fast back to Trafford yesterday...

Maybe you got caught up in the rush.

About 4 or 5 weeks ago I started coasting on easy street, running 4 or 5 k instead of my 6s 8s and above. Then last Monday I went on a run and that was it until Saturday. Tuesday was City, Wednesday weather atrocious, Thursday and Friday I just cba. Then Saturday morning I had a word with myself and sorted my head out! 7k on Saturday, then 8k on Sunday. 5k today and now looking forward to tomorrow. Soz Gaz76 I won't let it happen again. haha.

Nice one son!
Saturday mornings you should give Parkrun a go.

I done it twice before Xmas pal, but I usually work Saturday mornings. What I usually do sat and Sunday is do 8 / 10 k + runs because in the Week I walk over 10'000 steps at work,hence why only doing 5,6 and 7s during week. At least I've got my mojo back. :)

This morning's Parkrun completed in 29:01 at Isabel Trail "B" course at Stafford Rugby Club.
The "A" course is STILL flooded for what has been around 3 months now.

despite only having pins out of my feet 2 weeks ago and done a coupke of pain runs on the treadmikll

really hoping I can at least do the Manchester 10k in May

Chester 10k tomorrow, it's been a frustrating 3 months of training, illness and injury have been massively disruptive.

It'll be a fitness test 5 weeks before the marathon, I'll take anything below 45mins, bit frustrating after going under 42 in November.

Fuckin hamstring! :( Flying I was, then on Thursday I did a 7k after work and I felt it twinge about 3 in :( Not totally fucked, but last night in bed I got the dreaded tooth ache sensation:( I'm hoping I can shake it off in a few days.

Hi All
23 miles today in 3.33
Aiming for a sub 3.50 at Manchester next month.
Bit behind on the pace but not too far off where I need to be.

45:20ish but ran 4:30km pace so it was the extra 110m I ran that did me in.

Spent most of the race at 95% of my max HR, so the determination was there but the fitness wasn't.

Overall pretty happy.

Belting stuff mate, you should be well under 3.50 if your knocking out that in a training run. Everyone's different but I would be a bit careful with your recovery from going at it for over three hours, you want to have plenty in the tank when it comes to the 14th of April, the way you recover is almost as important as how you train.

This morning's Parkrun completed in 29:01 at Isabel Trail "B" course at Stafford Rugby Club.
The "A" course is STILL flooded for what has been around 3 months now.

How congested does the B course get with it being 4 laps and is the path wide enough to make overtaking easy enough?

It's not too bad considering the amount of overtaking and 2 way sections.
The only tricky bit is all the right angled corners, but at least the course is completely flat and mud free which makes it relatively fast.
It's a pretty quiet Parkrun too meaning that it's congestion free at the start, and dogs are banned from the B course so there's less tripping hazards!

Not done much running of late, awaiting knee surgery on a previously repaired meniscus, but did Wythenshaw parkrun on Sunday. Really enjoyed it and a nice flat course which didn't cause me too much aggravation!

4.5 HM training miles after work this evening. Under 4 weeks to go and think I'm on track

They did a great job

Well done mate. You must have finished last, as everyone else ran a day before you.

Bit harsh that mate, Parkrun isn't a race, if he wants to take over 24 hours to complete it that's up to him, pretty low to be trolling him for it, and your also wrong about him finishing last, I happen to know that that bloke who identifys as a tree is still going hard at it
