Not for me, but thanks for the mention gaffer. I couldn't run for a bus at the moment. Just over my second bout of Covid and tendon trouble led to a knee full of fluid just before that. I'm a wreck.

Cheers :thumbsup: Will do.

:lolol: Exactly, I'd had it. The idea I'd done an 8 min mile on my first run back is ridiculous. Still, if it's on Strava :lol:

First run of the year for me. I got a Fenix 6 for my birthday and today is the first time I've used it for running. Does anyone else have one? It measured the first mile WAY short. I ran what I know is a 5k, yet it measured the run as 3.5 miles and the middle mile way short which gave me an 8...

Happy New Year runners! I’ve always been the opposite to this and Bozza and needed to train for races and PBs to keep myself going. In the new world this is going to change. I didn’t enter a single race in 2021 and, while I deferred BM to April I won’t do that either. I’ll likely switch to the...

I was certainly sweating on my early morning 8 miler - sweating out yesterday's beer. These 5.30 kick offs would be ruining me if injury hadn't already :lol:

27.09 official time so clearly the lady who just beat me had a very accurate watch!

Somewhere between 26.54 (my phone time) and 27.08 (which the lady in front of me said she had on her watch) for me today. I will get the gaffer to update my SB when I get the official time. Would be over the moon with either and it's a good baseline to kick on from now. Did a proper warm up and...

Excellent :thumbsup: You'll probably lap me!

Evening chaps. I've been back in training now since June, though I had another three weeks out in August. I'm thinking of doing my first parkrun since March 2020 tomorrow and the weather looks ideal for Hove Prom. My last time was 22 minutes and something and a 65% AG. I will be happy with...

Managed 11 miles on Saturday, my longest run since March 2020. Brighton Marathon will come just too soon so the plan is now to swap to BM10k and train hard for getting round Beachy Head instead. Better find the trail shoes.

Thanks Gaffer - never again :lolol:

Tremendous running and great use of lockdown :thumbsup: I'm going to try and drag myself out 4 times a week as often as I can. Every day isn't really practical now that working in London is once again a thing for me. Not sure how I'd avoid injury either, you must have a decent stretching...

Morning everyone, Long time no post (again). Hopefully I'm not tempting fate by posting again on here as last time I said I was back I immediately missed the next six weeks with some horrific calf / ankle / foot thing that I couldn't even be arsed to get diagnosed. I think I would have given up...

Managed a very slow 7 and a bit miles this morning to make it my first double figure weekend in nearly a year. Progress. Slow progress.

I've had tight calves throughout my running "career" and, as I type, my right calf is a little achy. I can only recommend stretching. A good few sets straight after a run when they are still warm but three times a day on rest days as well. If they're really tight they need a good session with a...

Feel like I've finally turned a corner on this morning's run. Although only a 30 min 5k the first mile and last little bit were deliberately warm up and cool down. In the middle I put my foot down for the first time since March last year. A few strides / short intervals at first but then half a...

Yep Still allowed so long as there is two of you and you keep your distance. I've hit a real mojo problem. Woke up this morning, felt how cold it was and just poured a coffee and watched the cricket. I have absolutely no intention of going out later today either or, indeed, until it warms up a...

I can vouch for the S Lab with bottles. Got one for Serpent Trail 2020 (cancelled) and Beachy Head 2020 (deferred) but did a few long training runs on the road and the downs with it. Great once you get used to it. Bozza if you go down that route I'd probably take it on a couple of shorter trial...

Not all of them are going to work in Leeds! The last summer I trained properly was 2019. I went out in a vest and shorts. I had a Nike technical head band that stopped sweat getting in my eyes and stinging. I went out reasonably early in the morning. If it was warm when I was finishing I...
