Have to stop so often to open gates etc. Went straight to sleep outside on the patio when I got home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Shorter run tonight. Small improvement again. Definitely aiming to get back under 23:00. Edited May 30, 2020 by Ross. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 First ever 10k run this morning. 60 minutes. Not good, not terrible. Not sure I enjoyed it as such, but I didn’t hate it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 That’s great. How is the dodgy knee getting on?Thanks mate. Okay so far really, couple of times it ached during (same as yesterday’s 5k) but not enough to warrant stopping, little swollen now but no matter pain!

I generally find 10k to be my ideal distance as far as running goes. 5k is too short and when I went to 14/15k and beyond it was mostly a mental thing rather than physical. 10k I always feel I am getting the best of both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’d have been able to do it myself, really don’t have the discipline or self motivation but hopefully now I’ve done it, I know I can and really didn’t find it too tasking I’ll be able to when I’m back in Aberdeen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Good luck unless you're at the beach, will be Hilly, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Good luck unless you're at the beach, will be Hilly, no? Hate running at the beach in Aberdeen. Out, back, no scenery, nothing, just pounding hard tarmac. Where I am up the road I should be able to find a wee route no more hilly than where I am in Fife from 1.5-3m was all up hill today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Ordered myself a new running watch. Went for the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music. Should be a considerable upgrade from my old Tom Tom Runner 3. Should arrive tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Did my first run over 5k in about a year. Really enjoyed it. My problem is generally I run too fast, then I'm done in and give up. But running with a friend who is slower - and getting lost - meant we did 16k in the end. We stopped a few times and it took nearly 2 hours but what with the cool weather (did it early in the morning which I never do) and the scenery and the fact that we could have a chat while running cos we weren't bombing it - meant it was the most enjoyable run I've had in a long time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Did a 10k today in 49:45, so jusg sneaking in at sub 50. Really enjoyed it actually. Had no intention of going more than about 6 but ended up getting lost in my thoughts without music and kept widening the loop I was doing til I thought I might as well round it up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Started the Strava challenge for June today 200k in a month, did it in April but ill probably be back to work at the end of the month so I'll have another pop, not pushing it too hard as a few old war wounds are playing up but need to lose a few pounds so between this and the boxing training g vids on YouTube I'll hopefully lose them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite a commitment - especially since there's only 30 days in June! Of course, any day is only a little under 7km a day which is fine. But as soon as you miss one day cos of heat / hangover / injury / CBA, then it's 14km the next day. The most I ever mentioned was 110km in a month, and that included training for and running a marathon. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm pissing on your bonfire! Best of luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Strava are really celebrating putting most of their features behind a pay wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Built back up to 5k after a lay off for various reasons. Hopefully got a 10k in August so lots more running in the heat to come but actually enjoying it at the minute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
