Did my 10k PB yesterday at the GMR a sub 55 min

GMR App says I ran in 54:02

Garmin/Strava are saying I did it in 53:48

Garmin stated i did it 14 secs earlier than GMR are suggesting, and also the course was finished before the finish line.

That happened to me on my first ever marathon (Edinburgh). Got to 26.2 miles on the watch and I was still nowhere near the finish - couldn't even see it! Finally crossed the line on 26.5 miles. Those last 0.3 miles were a test of character, I can tell you!
 
Well done all Blues on your recent running exploits. It's great to read about them, however good or bad. Special shout out to @BlueHammer85 on running every day for 1000 days. That's an absolutely monumental effort - well done.

I was in Cornwall last week. I'm tapering my training now, after a long, long run last weekend. I did plenty of walking, but alas, no running. 13km on Sunday though, which was a bit tough, and a comfortable 9km today in exactly one hour (that's a great time for me!).

I'm really looking forward to the Manchester Marathon in two weeks. The weather forecast looks favorable (I know it can change). I've got my race number. I'm ready for it.

Make sure you get into a good spot with your pacer/target finish time group. I was in the 3:59 group but when the three starting groups merged a few miles in we ended up behind a 4hr30 group for some reason.

I then made the wrong call and decided to run a zigzag route through them which got me to halfway bang on schedule but took its toll.

I think that was a one off as no one I know has had that happen. It's hard not to go off quick at such an event but I've seen your runs on strava and you will deliver the time you target I'm sure! Enjoy it.
 
550 is lot of pages to read, so I’ll just ask.

Anyone on this thread come back to running after catching covid, and if so, how long after did you start running again, and how did you stagger/step up to doing so? Cheers for any advice based on experience.

I went out when I felt able to, as with any other illness really. Found it a real struggle at first and was out of breath quite quickly but the second run I was back to normal. Everyone seems to have different experiences of covid. Some have had longer term issues which have impacted their lives more severely. I felt fine fairly quickly.

If you are feeling well enough, just go out and try a gentle run and gauge it from there.
