Isabel Trail Parkrun completed in 29:07 this morning.
Was a bit busier than normal given that it's the Stafford Half Marathon tomorrow.

Was down at The Wammy this morning, boy is that a quick course. Reminds me of Isabel Trail. Certainly more enjoyable than the lunchtime afterwards spent queuing up round Gladstone Pottery Museum to see the thrown down contestants & their handiwork.

Wilmslow half 1.36 for me today, happy enough with that as I'm just starting training miles again after a slow start to the year running wise. 13 minutes slower than I did 3 years ago but every run can't be a PB and I still got the t-shirt.
1:38 at Wilmslow half for me, a PB as I've never done a half outside of training and 1 marathon, set off at 1:35 but faded at about 14k.
Always bound to happen, think I've only done 3 runs over 15k in the last 2 months. Happy with that outing though.

Two half times under 100 mins there; excellent stuff.
I might have posted about this before, but anyway …
I recall reading as part of my athletics coaching qual about the mental aspect of running, and I was wondering what the rest of the runners on here do.
I may have these terms wrong but there are 4 types of mental activity that runners (and other sports I guess) can engage in whilst running:
1) Externalise elsewhere - so you’re thinking about something unrelated to your surroundings (work, family, hobbies, whatever)
2) Externalise locally - so you’re looking at and focusing on the landscape you are passing through, (rather than the run activity itself).
3) Internalise about your body - you are thinking about and conscious of how your body is feeling in the moment as you exercise, and pains or niggles anywhere, regulating your heart rate, your cadence, your stride length etc.
4) Internalise about your run/race - you are thinking about and focusing on your run, about if you can overtake/reach the person in front, or keeping up with them, or how far you have left to go, or the climb or descent ahead, or whether your pace is on track eg via your watch etc.
I suppose the answer is that most of us do a combination of all 4, but I just wondered if some people tend to do more of some than others, and if so if so which “work best” for you.
