It was a bit hard going on this morning's run - I did a couple of miles wind resistance training as I ran along the sea front but at least it blew the cobwebs away

I hope everyone is enjoying their running (or tapering) today

I hate you all for being in sheffield at the weekend.......... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:..

Still least im getting out the big smoke for the 24hrs and sampeling the delights of Bristol....................................

Hard going and you still managed 10 miles - thats an achievement in itself!!!

Uk thats my home town you are talking about! Careful not to get dive bombed by Falcolns on the portway

I've been tapering for the Great Scottish Run HM on Sunday but not in the normal sense as I was on holiday in Paris:rolleyes:

Was running 3 to 4/week until but it has been fri, wed, tue, wed in the past 2 weeks. One run in Paris and go lost so it was a 40min run instead of 20min light jog haha.

3 mile jog tonight then lets see what happens on sunday. No idea what time really, makes it fun. Anywhere from a 1.35-1.50....seriously I just don't know with all these slow 8.30-10.00min/mile recently.

Thats one of those strange coincidences -

On Sunday morning UK (who comes from Sheffield) is going to be in Bristol and Becky (who comes from Bristol) is going to be in Sheffield.

Talking of which, I wonder if Jessica is going to grace us with her presence on Sunday, maybe she could be the official starter?:D:D

Good luck Gingerscot - hope it goes well for you

Try to chat her up Rich and I may have to intervene

Feeling rubbish, 18 miles planned today- turned into 16.24 (11.21/mile) had to walk some- wind was awful and felt like I was going to be sick at 13miles. Feeling pretty frustrated now, on an upside have no pain in my foot :-)

Goodluck with the race Catspaw

Sorry you feel so bad about your run, but don't beat yourself up so badly. x

Simplycynical

tq - Don't feel bad - there's probably a reason for it.

I had a run like that two weeks ago and had to cut an 18 miler short at 12 miles. I felt really bad about it but it turned out I was in the early stages of developing a cold; I rested for a couple of days and managed a 20 mile LSR last week.

Give yourself a bit of time, take it nice and slow next time out and you will be fine :D

A nice sunny morning, if a little on the cool side, for this morning's parkrun. Good conditions resulting in another chunk of improvement in Becky's return to form.:D

Now looking forward to tomorrow and the attempt on a sub 38 minute 10K!

tq - Thats nothing to worry about at all. Some days its effortless, some days its not. Que sera sera! I've set out to do 20 miles and called it a day at 8 miles an set out to do 16 miles and called it a day after 1.5 miles in recent weeks. Training should be guided by what the body is asking to do in the main.:D


Ooo just discovered another new feature on the parkrun website....very useful for tracking progress over time:
