How old are you? That's a decent time no matter what.

56 mate. A rag **** has challenged me to a race in Altrincham, not letting the bastard beat me.

Peel Parkrun plodded this morning in 30:54.

Is that the one across the road from the stadium? I’ve done it once, on a winters morning. My recollection is of it having one or two quite short sharp climbs as you do the laps.
How did you find it pal? Bit different to Isabel Trail …

Peel is next to Salford Uni.

Opposite the stadium is Phillips Park I think.

Ah yes, thanks pal. My mistake. I’ve done both those, but it was Phillips Park I was thinking of in that post. Yes, Peel was a busy one but really enjoyed it and ended up with a surprisingly quick time (by my standards anyway!)

9.5 miles done, 1:21, bloody boiling and stopped for a drink after 6 miles, should have gone out earlier but had stuff to do.

Travelled over to Northern Ireland for a race at the weekend (antrim Coast half marathon) combining with a short holiday. Really well organised race with beautiful scenery,started in Larne. Not as quick as Manchester as had some lumpy bits in it Did 1.34.
Best part was seeing the leaders including some very well known Kenyans coming the other way after 7 miles.Would recommend.

That sounds awesome.

Chaps, I made a summary of why I think these gels are the best ones for runners. I hope it's useful and would be interested to hear what you think.

Out early again this morning and was nice to see the sun pop out, whilst still giving us a great temperature for a run!

9.7k in just over 53 minutes

Have a gud'un whether you're getting out or not today

Hey guys. I'm not on here so much recently. Family holidays, weddings, age, injury and other circumstances are all interfering with my running.

I'm 64 now, with a dodgy left hip, but I'm grateful that I can still get out on the occasional run. I'm holidaying on the Ross of Mull this week. I've just completed 9km in 1:09:41. At the pace I run at, I got to take in stunning views variously of Erraid (features in RL Stevenson's Kidnapped), the beautiful Isle of Iona, with Staffa and other Hebridean islands in the distance, plus scenery and wildlife not often encountered back in Cheshire.

With views like that, who cares how long the run takes!

Well done mate

First sub 19 at the Mid Cheshire last night, 18:40. Great course.

Morden parkrun run this morning, very warm. Bit gutted official time of 35.06 was aiming for under 35. Equalled my fastest finish segment in trying to get it though. Minute and half faster than last one

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Still trying to run on 1.5 legs. Today’s run Peel Parkrun in 28:26. Really pleased with that despite calf pain from 3km AGAIN! Ggggrrrrrr

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

This morning's Isabel Trail Parkrun completed in 29:31. Still too warm for me, but glad to be back to sub-30 minutes.

Nice one Staffs. Spy any rags on there today? :-)

 

[GornikDaze]

Tom Wade about to win UTMB barring a major disaster - Josh Wade looking good for third. Amazing!!!

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

No. Conspicuous by their absence, funnily enough!

Haha yeah. Got chatting to two of them walking back to the car after today’s run. They’re almost at the ‘don’t care anymore’ phase now but I still got the Grimsby mention in! :-)
