I can do 3miles so why not challenge myself for the first time to do more than that.:)

Thanks for link, found one near me, but we'll see...I just like running for myself.

Fair enough - its good fun though - I do Wimbledon and Leeds and am hopefully trying out Manchester next weekend

You sound like a very keen runner!

Well, off I am, to do it slow and steady...in the gym, where I'll know exactly how fast I'm running and how many metres I still have to do...

Will update you tomorrow if my new wireless usb dongle works...

But yes, running outside is much better.

Well I've been off for 6 weeks so I am VERY keen to get started again

Good luck with your run :T

Ooooo nice one Simply

Nearly sub 1hr too - when's the next 10k race?? I bet you are itching to have a go

Thanks Becky; I haven't got another 10k lined up. I've been looking but the majority of them fall on Sundays and I don't want to give up any of my long runs. (I'm afraid that if I miss them I won't be ready for Abingdon).

I've got a 1/2 Marathon booked for 2 August so that isn't too far away. You're right though I'd love to have another go at a 10k Hmmm, think I might go away and have another look ... I seem to remember seeing something about a midweek 10k????

Are you making a good recovery?

Have you got very itchy feet Beck, it must have been very frustrating. Glad you're feeling better x

Floxxie

Hi all,

I'm really pleased with my progress in running but I am having real problems in pacing myself. Any suggestions on what to do to maintain a steady pace rather than a fast, slow, fast, slow routine?

TIA

becky_rtw

I'm okay guys - feeling a little drowsy today but fine otherwise

floxxie - hey you're fartlek , but any idea might be to map out mile markers on mapmyrun.com on your usual routes and then set yourself a nice easy time to get to each one. So for the sake of example:
mile 1 - 10 minutes
mile 2 - at 20 minutes
mile 3 - at 30 minutes
etc

Obviously if you're a bit off it doesnt matter - all the things ebb and flow but it should help you to evenly pace throughout the run a bit more

Evening all. Happy weekend :beer:

I really want my official time now though :shocked: :mad: I'm not good at waiting obviously!

Its been a little bit busy on here today - good to see!

Just found 1 picture from Wednesday's race - I'm hoping that the blurriness is something to do with the speed I was running at rather than the shutter speed of the camera!:p:p

As can be seen, the running surface was great and obviously traffic free so a good venue for a 10K race.:D

I like the size of the gap - you are not really aware of what's going on behind you in a race but at this point this was 14th position and I'd been back in 27th earlier in the race. I think it was Scorgeous who was asking this morning about how to pace the race, well this was just into the last third where you unleash everything you have left.
