Running thread

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.

Fantastic mate, well done

Well, that’s me screwed. Snapped my Achilles tendon playing Padel (should have known better at my age). Probably going to be 6 months before I’m back to even limited running :(

Ah, bollocks, sorry to hear that mate. I play platform tennis and the prospect of doing that is always in the back of my mind. A few guys I play with (who are all younger!) have also got into padel. I’ve looked at it and almost gone a couple of times, but it looks just a bit too energetic for someone closer to 60 than 50.

Did a 5k this morning, 35’01”

10k tonight in just under 50 minutes with a couple of brutal hills in there, want to get under 45 if possible on 7th at Altrincham 10k race.

Done that pace before so know it’s possible.

How old are you? That's a decent time no matter what.

Is that the one across the road from the stadium? I’ve done it once, on a winters morning. My recollection is of it having one or two quite short sharp climbs as you do the laps.
How did you find it pal? Bit different to Isabel Trail …

Peel is next to Salford Uni.

Opposite the stadium is Phillips Park I think.

Ah yes, thanks pal. My mistake. I’ve done both those, but it was Phillips Park I was thinking of in that post. Yes, Peel was a busy one but really enjoyed it and ended up with a surprisingly quick time (by my standards anyway!)

Travelled over to Northern Ireland for a race at the weekend (antrim Coast half marathon) combining with a short holiday. Really well organised race with beautiful scenery,started in Larne. Not as quick as Manchester as had some lumpy bits in it Did 1.34.
Best part was seeing the leaders including some very well known Kenyans coming the other way after 7 miles.Would recommend.
