Running thread

[Rammy Blue]

around 4 years ago I stopped running as I got out of habit, however ive regained my love for it and I have been working hard on the treadmill, got my 5k time to 30 minutes.. is now the time to switch to Road runs, or should I stick to the treadmill for a while longer?

Trying Parkrun is a definite.

Yes, you really should. Free, Friendly, Brilliantly organised and you feel good for rest of the day.

And usually home and showered before 10 so takes up nothing of the weekend.

Absolutely do this. It really does set your weekend up brilliantly. I'm home and showered in time for Saturday Kitchen and coffee.
I'm on 75 there now...missed a few months for a vairety of reasons but once I went back I realised how much I missed them (social aspect also). Marshalling there is fun too.

I do Heaton, where do you go? I’m closing in on 200 now, feel like a veteran although someone at Heaton passed 500 the other week, or 550, can’t remember which.

Stretford or (lately) Burnage along the river Mersey. Funny course but you get to know the regulars and that's part of the reason you do it.
If I'm after a new PB I'll be back at Stretford. Current PB is 20:39...would love to go below 20 mins but since joining the gym I think I bulked up a little which may have slowedme down.

It's always the time to switch to road runs.

I agree with this. There's plenty of encouragement, and it sets you up nicely for the rest of the day.

Conwy half in the morning, closing in on 1000 miles for the year. Hoping to go low 1:40’s in the morning but it’s got the Great Orme in the middle so we’ll see.
