Now that felt good!:D:D

It was probably 15-20 secs/mile quicker than intended but sometimes you just have to go with the flow. This was the hilly 12 miles with the two climbs of 350-400ft so thats a pretty swift pace for a relatively controlled run.

It actually turned out to be a PB for this course, so pleased all round.:D

Also had an email back from Mr parkrun, Paul Sinton-Hewitt, who seems quite interested in challenging the Gt North Series claim to be 'The Biggest Running Programme In The World'. And why not........:p

Yep, and after I've done the cabbage patch I've then got the onions to plant and the greenhouse to clear out!:p

Just to let Uk and others know - there are two new parkruns coming soon - both north London - if anyone wants to be involved in helping them set up by running some trials pm your email and I'll forward it onto the parkrun peeps

owwww where where where...... and make them do one on a Sunday :mad:

Hey - well done Rich!

I seem to be able to lengthen my runs right now, but don't seem to be getting any faster. Still, pleased I can 'keep going'.

parkrun is always Sat - not official yet but Finsbury Park and Victoria Park - I've said I'll run the Victoria park course if they want, but that ones still waiting for council approval...Finsbury park is due to start 24th Oct I think

Evening all, I am starting to get nervous about Sunday now :eek: but I am really pleased that I followed the advice from Becky/Rich to run the 8miles so that I know I can do it.

It has felt really strange not spending my week trying to work out how I am going to be fitting runs in with my other commitments - I have missed it I must be hooked!

owwwww Finsbury park I can dig that ...

Well you know you can run 10K so there are no unknowns as such.

As soon as the race starts its just a case of putting one foot in front of the other just like you have done so many times before.....so nothing to be nervous about!. You'll be fine...:D:D

Good luck 1hannah.

my runs

Mon 21/9 4.01 Miles 42:38(11:07/mile)
Tues 22/9 4.59 Miles 51:03 (11:02/mile)
Wed 23/9 restday
Thurs 24/9 8.69 Miles 1:34:26 (10:52/mile)


Will be going out for 5ish miles this afternoon. The run I did yesterday I last ran exact same distance and course on july 24th which was 8.69miles 1:50:01 (12:40/mile) so showing improvement now.

Rich those 3 races are all paid for. I noticed the Freckleton one has a 2hr40m cut off not that I will be anywhere near running that slow by then

On paper I am only two seconds faster per mile than i was in april but then I could only just run 3miles and I had to have a restday afterwards

Oh I'm probably doing Heaton Park tomorrow is anyone else? Also I registered a few weeks ago so do I just turn up and run? does everyone start at the same time and how is the timing done? how early should I get there before the start?

Cheers
