The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)

I managed 15km this morning but I was out at 7am start

Decent 18km this morning, started at about 4:45am and it was tidy but by the time I was done you could tell it was getting closer

 

Will try for the same tomorrow, gagging to get some distance in after a bit of a drop off with the heat

25 degrees at the start of parkrun this morning. We are so cooked.

You know its hot when you look forward to the hill at Brauny park run as its in the shade 

[Osavo]

10km this morning and was glad when it was over. Didn't get out until 10ish, which was my fault for being lazy, but the heat was cooking me by the end.

Did a 5k at 9.30am. Tried to seek out as much shade as I could and it was just about okay. Gonna try and go out a bit earlier than that from now on

Think I’m back into this now. Did 8 miles on Sunday which felt pretty comfortable other than being noticeably dehydrated about 5 miles in and done 5k intervals on the treadmill today.

 

Ive somehow managed to pay little attention to when I’m doing the great north run and it’s in 2 months so probably a good job I’m back at it. Also wanting to hit 1000 miles for the year so I need to start bashing out some missions at some point.

 

I didn’t get a ballot spot for London which is pretty annoying but it likely means I won’t do a marathon next year now.

Running in the woods over the last few weeks has been Susan Perb I must say

[Ian W LCFC]

Getting back into the swing of things after doing pretty much nothing over the last 2 months or so.

5k last Saturday

5.5k on Monday

6.5k this morning.

 

Going to try and keep up with my running every other day pattern, slightly increasing the distance each time until I get to 10k whilst keeping the pace pretty consistently at about 6 mins per km or just under.

Anyone of you madlads / madladettes here ever done a Backyard Ultra before?

Not personally, but a few people in my club have done them. I think I'd weirdly prefer it to a standard ultra (having done neither)

Away in Majorca on holiday and just run a 5km in 33 degree heat nearly bloody killed me 🥵
