Mallo_Madrid Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Roughly £30 in Dumfries land too. I ran just over 10k on saturday morning in 56mins. Not particuarly quick but my last two splits were my quickest and i felt fairly comfortable at that pace. I'm contemplating doing the same run tonight, but it's so facking hot. It may end me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Am not surprised giving some of our performances over the last few seasons. Haha, to be fair it was the 2-1 Queen's Park game just after New Year and I had to leave 2 mins early due to the train - was gutted about it, first game I've ever left early Caught the train just in time! Missed the Clyde goal that day as well as my fatass mate always insists on going for a pie at 40 mins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sorry for this being question week! I've had to get a new smartphone this week as my Nokia N8 died. Now got a Samsung Galaxy, and it seems like it and Endomondo don't like speaking to each other. Anyone recommend a good similar application that will work with a Samsung? Please don't recommend anything that will involve buying an extra device, the Ranter household is under austerity measures at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it works with the Galaxy, but I use RunKeeper on the iPhone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_bairn Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Managed 10k last night after a few days off in just over 45 minutes. To start with I was just getting over playing an hour of competitive football at the weekend so wasn't sure how far I could go. Running in the heat was tough and the sweat was pishing out me. Also swallowed a few flies which I suppose aided my recovery First race for a while this Sunday. Dunblane hydro 7.5 mile road race. No idea what time to go for. Going by my 10k pb I should aim for the 50 minute mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footiechick Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Looks like footiechick is being ripped off! I have paid £30 for 30 mins and most around here are the same. Not moving to the sticks to get it cheaper mind you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few stuck to my face last night when I got in. It was far too hot for running yesterday evening, i did just under 5k and tapped out. Next run will be Saturday morning as early as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite an up and down course, and miles 3-6 seem to go on forever! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright Dave. Just seen this. This was my first one. Yes there a quite a few tough climbs. Especially at the end. Can't imagine running further in this heat. Think I finished about 53 minutes. How did you get on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about 60:30 unfortunately - wanted under the hour. Given the heat though and the fact that I beat 3 people I know who'd normally beat me by 5 mins plus, I'm happy. Gives me something to aim for next year! How did you find the course? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good time. The official times still aren't up. I found the course quite good. Challenging yes. As you said quite a few ups and downs. The course designer must be sadistic as the last half mile is pretty tough. All I was thinking about was the heat tbh. Poured most of my bottle of water over my head at 5 miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The ambulance service is getting a full shift today, it would appear that folk running the Edinburgh marathon are dropping like flies in the heat. I was lucky the half marathon started an hour and a half earlier, the sun coming out from mile 9-10ish. Hats off to anyone completing the 26 today. I crossed the line in 1:38:22. Properly chuffed as it was much quicker than I expected to go, even with the course's reputation for producing fast times. I'd hoped to keep on top of 8-minute mile pace and clock under 1:45. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poured most of my bottle of water over my head at 5 miles. Exact same with the water mate! It's my ex bird's old man who organises it - I've been telling him to change the finish line for 5 years! Turns out that out of the group of 10-12 folk I knew doing it I was the only one to clock a PB so can't be too unhappy with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
