Well done Frank. Love to get under 21 again but feels a long way off. Need to lose a little bit of weight and get back into it properly, only done a handful of runs since the marathon. Bit of luck the injuries are behind me now and can start enjoying it again.Parkrun this morning. Decided not to kill myself so paced myself and went round in just over 21 minutes. Have to say going a bit slower made it much more enjoyable. Rather than hanging on for dear life, feeling rough as toast it was quite liberating passing people on the home straight, legs still feeling good and then still ok for a dog walk straight afterwards.
New Years resolution mix up the Park runs and not always run them at my maximum.
Happy New Year everyone
I like the symmetry of that target. Some seriously mileage. I managed around that but in Ks last year.
Same to you mate.
Still want to do a sub 20 min park run/5k.
Record is 20:50 ore covid.
I’m currently struggling at 28 mins so you can see how much slower I’ve become.
15:35 ffs!!
Absolutely.
Cardio is starting to feel better but I’m probably a few months off ‘gliding/coasting’ during runs.
I’m currently plodding along like a rusty fridge freezer tumbling down the street…
‘Gym game’ is strong so I’ll probably lose speed due to bulking up a little with muscle but it’s a fine balance for me.
I need to up ny healthy eating game too (bad habit due to little time in the evening of sticking processed food in the oven - mainly breaded chicken fillets & chips).
Used to be far healthier food wise before I split with the ex (I’d cook every night).
I have joined a running club though…

HNY to everyone.
Pretty much mate, in the october one I got the met, didnt fancy trying to look for a space near the cricket ground. The route kind of strangles a lot of the potential parking place so you would have to wait until the whole thing was over.A query on the marathon in April, is it a met to Old Trafford job? Guessing all roads are closed early doors and it's carnage to go by any other means or to get to a few places to cheer people on.
Can park on some of the scums car parks if I remember correctly.A query on the marathon in April, is it a met to Old Trafford job? Guessing all roads are closed early doors and it's carnage to go by any other means or to get to a few places to cheer people on.
