10K sounds like a marathon…..need to improve my stamina over 5K and then maybe just a slow build up…

Slow and steady whatever you plan is the way forward

Fairly quiet in here the last couple of days, I assume the heat has got the better of everyone?!

I'm planning on getting out early tomorrow currently showing 15 degrees at 7am which should be fairly pleasant

I'm after a vest for phone n keys if anyone got any recommendations. Saw few around £20 and happy to pay that

I’ve ran or hiked 6 days on the bounce and can feel it as well as the heat. Taking the wife’s car for a couple of days to recover. Absolutely shattered.

Went out this afternoon and ran 10km, felt like I was melting out there.

Dangerous?

Dangerous?

Easy effort, so could have been worse, body was overheating a touch, straight in the cold shower when I got in.

Have suffered from dehydration before…….can be nasty

3rd ever Parkrun today and a PB! 29.07 Parkrun time and 13th in VM55-59 category. Quite pleased with my progress. Really feeling it on 3.5km and wanting so badly to stop but obviously didn’t. I’m hoping it gets progressively easier. Any tips on how to avoid or prolong the agony?? Like not doing it in the first place, perhaps! :-)

Top tip is to run further (but slower) on your midweek runs.

There's a little breeze this morning but I tell you what it's still a warm one!

7k in just over 39mins not my most enjoyable but done and dusted for the day

71 year old foc, 3 years sober…just completed C25K Week 9, should I look at just improving my 5K time or look for new routine?

Keep it going mucker. Good work.
I've been off here a few months due to a nasty knee injury. I'm getting back into it soon as this oppressive heat dissappears.

 

[Originals]

Still going with the running and the no drinking
I ran 9 miles Tuesday night in 1:35. Ran in total 32 miles this month so far, really enjoying it at the moment and hope this continues, 69.9 miles last month and 32 this month, just hope I dont fall off now the seasons back

3 weeks until the Great North Run. Anyone else here doing it?

Here's my latest training update. I ran a local half marathon as part of my preparation this week.

Peel park run - 30.26
Birchwood 10k - 1hr 03.29

The practice is paying off with the 10k distance getting quicker.

Yep! As with any discipline, the more you do, the better you get!

7 MILE MULTI-TERRAIN RACE

I better get some training in.

I don’t really like running in the heat and we’ve had about 6 months of it now.

What clubs do people run for? I’m a member of Pudsey Pacers.

If you’re runner and not part of club I highly recommend joining one. Most clubs cater for all abilities.

I finally managed to complete the last of the 27 runs of the Couch to 5k last night. This was my third attempt, the previous two I had to give up due to injury. I’m absolutely over the moon that I can now run 3 miles, it’s not easy but I can do it. I’m going to have a go at Marple Park run in a couple of weeks.
