I’ve been offered them before via Blue Light when people haven’t taken them. Second offer are on fastest finger first and due to being a phone free site I’ve always missed out

Was about to post the same thing. I jokingly said on the way there that we’d leave at half time if we were 3-0 down. The teenager gave me the ‘mum don’t go back on your word’ look so we left. I feel frustrated as I naively believed that there was something positive in the making and time and patience is what we needed. Today confirmed that I’ve been somewhat deluded and we’re actually a shambles. To an extent I still feel like it’s being fed down from the top and the lack of passion plus direction has left us with this rotten sinking ship.

Oh and I’m up and out by 5:15am in the week and no later than 8 on a Sunday so I don’t lose too much time.

4 times a week - 1 speed 2 easy 1 long. Rest and recovery are key. I’m currently not training for anything so mileage sits around 20 miles a week. Once my training kicks in for marathon followed by an ultra I’ll be aiming for 30-40 miles a week

Currently glad that I finished work late which meant that the child had to go with her dad!

Holme Pierrepont parkrun for me this morning and ticking off my 128th different location. Boring as f but if you like flat then it’s the course for you. Managed my fastest parkrun since September 2025 (pre fracture). Still about 90 seconds of my happy 5K pace but will take that.

Ran the Golden Gates Gallop 5 miler this morning at Elvaston Castle. Nowhere near the speed of you guys but so happy to be back and being able to hold 9:30 minute miles across 5 miles. Here’s to pushing back towards to the sub 9’s. Finally feeling good since fracturing my wrist 12 months ago and the being hit with ‘womens health’ issues. Sucks being old.

Honestly my little legs can’t handle running flat courses!

So far Bestwood is my favourite

Manchester Half is an absolute dream of a course and I’ve never ever been able to match what I achieved that day. Annoyed as I stopped for a chat with family and friends at mile 8 but it was the first and on my time I ran a sub 2. I went into it on the tail end of a marathon training block and had a blasts You’ll love it.

Nice one! I struggle with Abbey Park as, like Watermead, it’s too flat.

I saw the scarf in real life today and I’m so on the fence about it. I feel like I’d look like a packet of sugar free mints or something similar. IMO, the yellow keepers shirt should’ve been our 3rd kit

Scroll down past the kids and the adults no sponsor shirts are there

I can’t help it. I’ve got a genuine soft spot for him!
