Running thread

Just been out for a one hour run. Had to, nerves getting to me.
And a few points in credit for a couple of Superbock later.

Settling down for the mammoth climbs of the Giro for next couple of hours now. San Bernadino about to start - 24km, 12% gradients.

Try that couchto5k mate, at start of covid I couldn't run 2 minutes for a bus. Now running 2 5ks a week plus a longer one. Never going to win any races but just happy getting out. Lost over stone, dropped size in jeans and feel much better, helped my mental health as well
 
I've had 5 weeks of very little running cos of major work-related stuff going on.

Got out this morning with a massive hangover, absolutely seething at that shitshow from last night.

Without realising it, I ran quite a bit faster than I intended. I guess that means a few extra calories burnt (not that it will impact on all of yesterday beers but still...). Just wanted to try and clear my head really. Anyway, just thinking ahead to next season now and how Chelsea are probably gonna be giving us a good run for our money.

BOAST POST! New 5k PB of 20.49, barely 2 months after I could hardly run at all without fairly significant pain in my heels! I'm amazed really.

Superb time mate, to get a time like that, with what sounds like disrupted training, shows a fair amount of natural ability. Hope you stay injury free from now on.
 
Dropped off a bit of late due to a hectic weeks or so but ran a ‘Metric’ Marathon today of 26.2 km. Boiling hot, on the trails, with some decent incline it was a pretty tough work out. Averaged 5 minute kilometres bang on throughout, which I was pleased with for a training run. Did have a few water and gel stops also, which were very much needed in the heat.

Yeah I was at a BBQ for the final and someone mentioned they were running one in Chester. Sadly it is a week before the Manchester Marathon otherwise I would have included that in my training schedule.

Thanks mate, appreciate it! I wasnt able to run since last February, only really started properly at the very end of March, still with considerable pain in my heels (I really shouldn't have been running), but bit by bit I upped the miles and pace and somehow got that time

Who is the United fan?

Did you confuse united with United? There's only one united.

Over the weekend I did an hours trail run and struggled with the heat (only about 20 deg C !!!!.) I stopped to dip my head in a stream for nice cool down....

Cycling weather is here. It's that time of year again for me as I reduce the running and increase the cycling. I did a couple of 20 mile rides since the weekend including a few decent climbs. Great to be back on the bike again.
