it has become very warm and humid and, together with the midges at this time of evening, high speed interval sessions are something of a challenge!

:rotfl:.... dont just limit that for high speed interval.... i think i have lost 4 stone of water through my sweating. and was just on a normal run... about 9m @ 7min pace

Evening All

I've finally got round to downloading the photos that my OH took at the Netley 10K (I know, I'm slow) so thought that I would post a couple and share the scenery with you - I'm no. 497 by the way.

Lovely sea views at the finish!!!

This is the first time I've tried posting links to photos so I hope this works

Well the link worked, Simply......and whats more you're looking good!:D Very cool!!!;)

UK, it didn't limit you that much if you knocked out 7 min/mile for 9 miles!;) Where did you dig that one out from?

RC members seemed to want to up the pace tonight... which is where i dug it out from.... aint up loaded the data from my garmin.... but each time i looked it was somewhere between the 6.50 - 7.20 pace mark..... but was very red and very soggy ...and was happy to be running home at a more sensible 8.40- 9.00 ish pace

Well if you can handle sessions like that it would appear that your 1/2 marathon time is likely to undergo some serious revision the next time the opportunity arises.:D

Raphael - where subscription is required on RW I copy the name of the race and paste it into Google. With a little bit of searching (for instance adding 2009 because it often brings up previous years races) I can usually find the right webpage to access more information and the entry form.

Good idea!

Thanks

Went to the gym today, first day of exercise since my half. Did a tentative 10 mins on the treadmill, my foot was still hurting (I think my laces were too tight and I've bruised the top of my foot :rolleyes: ) can't wait to get back to pacing those pavements
Planning a short 5 miler tonight when the wife goes off to cricket

ok its KYCU catchup time. I ran the furthest ever on wed that being 10.67k in 1hr 20 ( I had to stop,nothing left in the legs for the final hill upto gf's house). not a good time i know but it was all hills and about 3k of very rough jagged cobble 'road'. That will teach me to scout runs out in future!:o. I also picked up my new super duper sunglasses yesterday so im looking forward to being able to run without squinting (i wear prescription glasses). So this week i have run 21k or so and done 2x40min cross train sessions (DVD). I think its time to start upping my milage more and cutting down on rest days . Oh and i put a pound on this week :eek: all that wine and food at the weekend im guessing;)

As for that race for life milarky well all they do discriminating like that is help me keep my money in my pocket because I am sure I would have been running it with the oh and plenty blokes would do to and i certainly would not donate to such a discrimitory organisation.

x_raphael_xx You have to allow for your feet to swell as they do when you run. I learnt that lesson quick too :rotfl:

Simplycynical

Well done on your 10.67K KYCU; isn't it great when you achieve a new distance? :T When I first started out I scouted all my routes by walking them first but now I take the 'adventurous' approach like you, I especially like running in new places as it makes the runs more interesting.

Good luck with your super duper new sunglasses; I always wear sunnies if it's the slightest bit bright out. I've got enough wrinkles as it is without adding to them by squinting!!! :rotfl::cool: :rotfl:

Ooh, why didn't my smilies work????
