Enjoyed this today, weather was even ok until halfway up then the mist came in and visibility was about 20 feet. Still had a good day, though I reckon this was one of if not the toughest we’ve done.Realised I was mixing up sharp edge, which is on blencathra with longside edge on skiddaw. They are quite different. Sharp edge is a much narrower scramble.
Into 3rd week of Maffetone. Last three 5ks have all been without stopping for walking breaks and keeping heart rate under 130. Still feels extremely slow though doing 12 min miles. But I shall persevere. I barely broke a sweat though, so I can see improvements. First two or three runs I was stopping every couple of minutes
Your gains will come quickly in the first few weeks, but noticeably tail off. Don't be disheartened by this though as you'll still be improving your endurance and strength. It'll just happen more gradually.Into 3rd week of Maffetone. Last three 5ks have all been without stopping for walking breaks and keeping heart rate under 130.

Brilliant time that for 10 miles.Did a virtual 10 mile run today. Went well for the first 13k but a steep hill and soft sand over the final 3ks left me hanging on at the end.
Still went a bit faster than expected coming home in 1:17, rather than the 1:20 plus expected. Great weather for it and a great feeling afterwards. Unusually listened to a football podcast while running which helped immensely
I'm running 5km in roughly 23-25 mins depending on how im feeling but just find the whole thing boring and cant wait to finish. What tips do you have for running further than 5km and staying interested? Cant wait for the gym back open Wednesday!
Smashed my 5k and 10k PBs in one run which I'm happy with.
Best estimated 10k effort (54:17)
Best estimated 5k effort (26:28)
Back in August I couldn't get below the hour mark, whereas since then, 8 of the 9 runs have been under that. Feel in a good place atm. 60k a month + getting banked and stomach pretty much fat free!
How early is the start there? Is the route muddy?Just done the Tatton 10k, socially distanced, well attended, really nice weather and surroundings. My time was 1:03:04, which I am reasonably happy with. After next summer, I'll be in the V60 category, and I should be able to make the top 3 list of that category (quite comfortably based on today's results).
The start was 9am. I was well back in the eighth wave of runners, and I crossed the start line at 9:18. I had to check in at 8am though because my running pack containing my race number didn't arrive in the post in time.How early is the start there? Is the route muddy?
Shame that. Great achievement, and you should mark it with a sponsored charity run at some point.So... went Footgolf yesterday and think i've pulled a calf muscle.
had to hobble my 15 minute run yesterday
on day 707 now, know i should rest it but no chance im giving up.
