Running thread

Went out at 06:45 this morning & completed about 5.5k. First time I've done that distance without stopping for a couple of weeks, but it was at a very steady pace.
Got home, had a cold shower, but I've only just stopped sweating in the last half hour or so!

Done the exact thing at the same time, came home and had a shower, and I was still sweating 10 minutes later!

The run itself wasn't too bad, but it just goes to show how warm it actually is when a cold shower doesn't even cool you down!
 
All right lads, I've set up a new Facebook group for all things running. My intention is for it to be a supportive community for anyone who is getting into running or hoping to improve. I've stuck with 'Finish Line Focus' as I like the idea of people signing up for an event and then doing everything to successfully cross that finish line.

It's a brand-new group so I'm sharing it with you lads first. Feel free to join up!

Nice one @Stuuuuuu! Just joined (or sent my request)
 
Doesn't quite belong in this thread because there wasn't much running involved but I completed the 100km Peak District Ultra Challenge over the weekend in just under 24 hours. Physically, it was the hardest thing I've ever done but we've raised £5,164 for a cause very close to my heart so every blister and cramp was well worth it.

Had a few days complete rest and, once my toes are back to normal, I'll be back out running. Need a new target to focus on now!

Great job mate, 24hours is a long long time to be in your feet.
What are these normal toes you speak of?

I'd post that in allsorts of random threads if I'd done that, but I think you're safe posting it in a running thread!

Well done mate, that's a great achievement, and even better you've done it raising a few quid
 
5k race tonight, ran 19:08ish, about a 30 second PB, no idea where it came from. I was only trying to break 20 back in March.

I've had on and off niggles since then but have recently started marathon training, only 2 weeks in but building the strength must be helping.

Very fast race though, finished 160-something place just to give you an idea.

Was that the Sale sizzler?

Just curious as my mate has done it tonight, and posted an incredibly similar time!

Great effort!

Yes it was, around Wythenshawe Park. Fast course, full of fast runners, half of the 402 person field went under 20, first 2 were 14min something, very good standard.

That's crazy, would love to have watched it!

My mate got 19.06 which was a 1 second pb, mad to think there were over 100 people quicker than that!

Not your average parkrun then!!
 
Has anyone else here been hit by the latest strain of Covid? Jesus H. Christ, I have been hit hard this week! Little chance of getting up off the sofa, never mind out for a run!

I've just forced myself out for a walk/jog (less than 3 miles) and that probably wasn't a good idea as I'm still not recovered.

Got a mate at work who's got it, apparently this latest strain gives you the shits and makes you vomit, so hopefully you dont have that to look forward too.
