Running thread

Went out for a 7 Mile run today and ended up doing a half marathon distance. Perfect weather for a run. Got to 7 mile mark and felt fine so pushed for 10 mile. Got to 10 mile and thought sod it try for the 13.1. Done it and still had mileage in the tank.
Feeling it now though, aching like hell. First time I've done the distance since doing the Manc half marathon in 2018. Not the best time though. Did it 1 Hour 47 in 2018 and today was 1 Hour 57.
My dad has completed a marathon in 2 Hours 47 twice!! How the hell do you manage that!!

Run like fuck.
Well done on today mate, not sure I’d fancy running it that wind, bad enough on the bike.

Well in blue.
 
Was a bit miffed this morning when doing my weekly weigh-in. I posted on here the other week that working from home has given me the kick up the arse to hammer the treadmill and lose some weight. Was ramping it up more and more and Monday to Thursday last week I was doing 3 stints per day. Managed a non-stop run of nearly 6k one morning which was the furthest I’d done by a long way. Didn’t do anything like as much Friday and Saturday - maybe it was the warm weather that made it feel tough - and yesterday had a day off. Somewhat annoyingly I weighed a tad more this morning than last Monday morning and it felt all that effort I put in on 4 consecutive days last week was a waste of time. I’m sure it wasn’t as I’m guessing I’m fitter than I was a week ago and today got back on it and did another 3 stints.

Put it down to muscle gain mate, it’s what I tell myself.....
 
On the bike today, 8.6km in 28mins.

First time on a bike on the road, first time on a bike sober in about 8 years (my actual last time on a bike was round Amsterdam a couple summers ago....)

I felt good, tired and some new pain in the legs but good.

I was riding my dad's hybrid bike so I'm hoping the road bike ive got will cut a bit more weight off the bike when I get it up and running so that will make things a little easier.

Did a 5k walk at lunch and then the bike ride after work. Going to keep going with that pattern for a few days and see how I get on.

Do we have a cycling thread out of interest?
