Running thread

Good going, mate - I can only dream of a 38 min 10K!

Started my training again for the GMR half marathon today and I'm way off the pace. Notwithstanding that I got a PB last year (1:43 if you must know...) I'd be happy with under 1:50 this year. In my defence, I am a 55 year old FOC.
You've got 12 weeks until the gm half, plenty of time to get some good training in
 
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. :)
 
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.
