Morning all Some fab running going on this weekend i see, well done to all of you who risked the heat!

Today is officially Day 1 of my new Training Plan, with an aim of losing 70lbs by halloween. It's only 4 lbs a week, so i will be off to the gym tonight for my 4 miler, plus a few weights. I'm actually really excited!!!!!!

Good luck tonight!!! :D

Ah ha I am back after a week off! Glad to see some good performances being put in. Sadly I could not do my race as I was limping in the morning after the 40min dog walk so I felt it was better to sacrifice my £10 :mad: Than risk a few weeks of injury. I will be going out for a run today the first in nearly two weeks (and im a year closer to 40!) although I will probably leave it till later tonight when hopefully it will be a lot cooler than it looks atm.

have a good day all.

I was wondering where you'd got to KYCP!!

Its annoying when you have to withdraw but sooo much better for your health

Hope this evening goes well! Take it easy though it'll still be warm this evening and you're still recovering a little!

I thought I'd be in agony this morning, but feel remarkably chipper!!! Any advice from you long term runners as to where I can devise a training plan to step it up from 5k to 10k???

Thanks

Well, had a bit of a crappy run yesterday, tbh - was very hot and I was running late, so thought I'd push the pace on a 10k a bit. Obviously pushed somewhat too hard, as I couldn't keep going beyond 3.5miles. One of those days where I started too fast then couldn't slow myself down enough to recover.

Still, it's not all bad news, the first 3 miles were (iirc) 7:20, 6:29, 7:30 and was just under 22 mins at the 5k mark....I took the second mile, particularly, as an encouraging sign - that's not too far off the <40 10k pace I need...so being able to do one mile at that pace means I'm 1/6th of the way there, right?

Sure Becky or Rich would knock you together a plan if you want something structured and if you ask *really* nicely

Personally, though, I followed quite a simple plan - I just kept on running further.

Ooh, forgot to mention, sposed to be doing a 7/9 at lunch - peak heat...hmm, that'll be...sweaty

It was a busy week off, nearly glad to be back to work (for the rest :rotfl:). Did the lake district,alton towers & went upto northumberland. Glad to see your back running and enjoying it.

Rich here are the races I'm thinknig of for the rest of the year:
Eccup 10
Hackney Half - ulfdance?
Fleetwood half - Sep
Bexhill half - Nov
Bedford half - Dec

I'm going to taper for the last two I think to aim for the 1:30 but we'll see how a week on Sunday goes first I think
