Heart-Shaped Fox

Thanks. Usually like a good old chicken and rice the night before and no shite food for days before. This hol all I've eaten is junk meals tbf, not including all the cake and chocolate 😂 so I'll take it. Got a ten km at the end of the month back home I might do, just waiting on the weather, but again will aim for closer to pb hopefully there as it's flat

Results finally been posted. 13th Place and 434 runners. 40:19 time. Would have loved the sub 40 but the hills and wind did me in. Didn't help the Chinese takeaway and fish/pie and chips I've had three nights in a row 😂

Awaiting the official time, but think I was about 40:30. Pretty sure I finished around 11-14th place, possibly from about 600 runners. Was a nice route but so unbelievably windy and elevated in places. Splits all over the place. Ranging from 3:51 to 4:25, the hills were an absolute killer especially in the wind, I really hated it at times 😂 Elevation gain of 80m Strava says. I knew sub 40 would be tough here because of all that, but wasn't a bad effort with short notice before entering it and definitely didn't do it in my best shoes either 😂 Second fastest 10k and 5k I've ever done on Strava so I'll take it and on to the next one end of June where it's back home and flat. Beating my 38:28 PB is my target there.

On holiday in Northumberland and discovered Bamburgh 10k is tomorrow. Needless to say I've signed up. Looks a bit elevated tbh and I've not trained as much this week so I'll be going for another consecutive sub 40 but actually think I might struggle. Scenery will be good though

Strange one. Was throbbing last night like a bastard, struggled to sleep and actually was struggling to put weight on it, especially to go up the stairs. I work on my feet all day so was pretty worried this morning. Felt tight but generally ok to walk on, ibuprofen has possibly helped. Might see how it is tomorrow as I did have a run planned but last thing I want is to aggravate it as it's definitely tender. I'm not the best at managing injuries and resting. Just happy I didn't go arse over tit or worse 🤣

Tried to do a new interval workout for myself. Basically 1km burts (6 reps), with 90 seconds in between. Absolute pain. How any one can hold anything close to 3 min pace for a significant time is staggering to me. Quickest I did was 3:30 something, and id love that to be over 5km eventually. Decided the last 2/3 reps id do over 800m because frankly I was ****ed. Rolled my ****ing ankle on the second burst....hurt at first but cracked on and finished the workout. Hoping thats not made it worse now in hindsight and the adrenaline may has masked it. As I sit here it definitely hurts a bit.

I've seen countless teams announce friendlies already now. I'm sure that every single year we seem to announce ours late, manager or not

Anyone else find Strava routes/maps bullshit? Sunday thought I'd give a route it suggested on a 20 mile run. Started off ok then the roads led me into farm tracks, had to hop over farm gates then suddenly lost in fields. Couldn't get out, every time I left one field I'd get another one in the way with a ditch separating each one. Skipped down one and stung my legs to bits with nettles. When i did eventually get out had a farmer matey tell me one of the fields was covered in something. **** knows what but just said cheers and ran off down the road before i was shot for trespass or something. Nightmare it was 🤣

Can out of nowhere feel like shit in this running game. Think the heat and maybe body telling me to have a rest day has played it's part. Just done a 10km on a usual circuit and about 5km in felt sluggish as hell, hungry and thirsty. My own fault for not fuelling enough or hydrating well enough before a run. Had to stop at corner shop and break for five mins. After that felt a lot better and back at original pace. Completely my own fault, running is an unforgiving sport at times though. Rest day tomorrow, long run Sunday if it's not too hot.

First set of intervals running in about a month due to holidays and the ridiculous weather. Thought today would be cooler and good to pick up the Fartleks again. Can confirm it's far too hot for them. At the end of the intervals and about 4km from home had to go buy a drink or felt I might keel over. Can't wait for it to drop soon purely to make running more enjoyable again 😂

Sorry to hear about the groin mate, hope it's gets better soon. But how was it playing yesterday? Hope the heat didn't impact the enjoyment too much

Fair dos to Hull. Epitomy of what the Championship can be for you if you get hungry and organised players. Honestly think before the season started I could only have McBurnie who I knew about. They were hard to beat all season and with some bigger teams and bigger spending teams having a nightmare they've capitalised and they deserve it. Same could be said for Millwall coming third really. Just sums the championship up

Left my run til 7pm tonight to try and have it a bit cooler. Thought it helped mostly but then as soon as you stop and get in the house you realise your absolutely dripping 🤣. Didn't feel as hot tonight though unlike the day time but still, it can't go on like this can it? It can 🥵

Absolutely embarrassing penalties 🤣🤣🤣

Just done a light 7km, usually do more but think would be suicidal at this time of day and temperature. Might go again tonight late if I have time. Running at my normal/average pace for a light one at about 4:50-5:00per km and I'm absolutely dripping in sweat and my heart rate kept spiking like **** 🤣 Absolutely hate it when it's like this here, really affects running for me

I have both and I think the 5s edge it for me. The laces and tongue of the Evos are a bit cheaper feel than it should be. Also the sole of my Evos is peeling off sort of, the material near the heel I mean. The 5s I've done probably double the distance in and look much better condition wise I need to invest in some new shoes soon but no idea what 🤣

Kings Lynn GEAR 10km today. 38:28 which I'm happy with, although I always want more. 😂 42:13 last year so chuffed with the improvement. Km7&8 dropped to just over 4 mins pace when was determined to stay under the whole run. But did want to save some in the tank for the final stretch. 71st position out of 2000 something and 36th in my age category. Will target a 36 min run there next year. Recommend the event, really good vibe, mostly flat and well organised.

Derby nicking sixth place and going up in the playoffs almost feels inevitable at this point

Personally annoyed that Orient or Exeter will go down. Orient only went the once last time in L1 and it was class. Exeter I've always wanted to tick off and would use it as an excuse for a seaside trip. Other than that I'm looking forward to some new grounds I can hopefully do. Can also walk to Posh from my house in 10-15 mins so that's a bonus too 😂

Decided to listen to the whole game on my run. Wanted York up because have family there, been to the old ground previously and always look out for their result. Really enjoyed the commentary, just old style football which really has gone from the top levels of our game now. Just passion, blood and thunder football. Commentary when York got the goal was frankly brilliant too

This crowd should be dogshit. Like under 10,000

Every relegation scrap I've seen us in we just bend over. Pathetic we are, no new manager bounce whatsoever

Manning at Huddersfield and there's no way we pay any compo surely.

Bobby Reid being on a 3 year deal is a joke 😂 I thought it was 2

Not really true. Majority of L1 games especially involving bigger clubs get called off. But wish they didn't tbf, I'd agree it's a positive 😂
