BishyTON Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 mixed emotions for me this week at the parkrun , almost certain I ran a pb and possibly under my target time of sub 24 mins , trouble is there has been a glitch somewhere and all the times got messed up so about 30 people were given the time of 24.45 ,me being one of them. will be bringing the phone in future. On a brighter note I have been chosen by our local parkrun commttee for the monthly prize of a brand new pair of trainers at sweatshop,thanks to me being there every week almost and volunteering a lot. Free running shoes...result! First part is a gutter, but it more than made up for by new shoes mate imo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Did my first serious training run for the half marathon, timed it as 59:20, bit slower than the run I did the other day but it was a more difficult course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Mo Farah's pb in a training run - impressive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 9 pints of St Mungos on Friday night. Sub-25 minute Parkrun on Saturday morning. Felt so much better about 30 minutes after finishing than I could have in any other way. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrowhillclyde Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think I might manage a 3 hour parkrun after 9 pints... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) After tying my Tollcross pb last week (18'33"), I finally got my first course pb since the start of October this morning - 18'26" - at the very same course. Delighted with that as legs felt heavy. The hard training is really starting to pay off! Edited March 21, 2015 by BishyTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 First trip to Kirkcaldy parkrun and by far my fastest time of the year - 19:30 on a course that's a good bit hillier than Edinburgh! It was all the new trainers! Time for a longer, slower run now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Finished the Run Garioch 1/2 in 2:11:47 this afternoon despite near constant rain (which stopped within 5 minutes of me finishing, hah) - my first race proper since the ill fated Loch Ness adventure. Perfectly paced on a tricky course that had an obscene number of hills in the second half. Looooooooong hot bath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrison Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well done the three of you, smiles all round! Hoping to make it along to Kirkcaldy Parkrun at some point in the next few weeks too. Got an 18-mile run out of the way yesterday, including a tempo-paced 5k at Edinburgh Parkrun. It felt odd not trying to run people down at the finish and letting others come by! Three weeks to Paris, so it's taper time. Phew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socks Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well done folks, some good stuff there this weekend. Surely I can't be the only one feeling sick at the thought of a quickish run the morning after 9 pints as mentioned a few posts up though! I had the indignity today of having to quit on a long run, and having to walk home - first time that's happened. The intention was 17 miles, but I got to 13 and just felt absolutely done. Head bursting due to dehydration, and no energy either from not having eaten enough - not a nice feeling. Totally preventable though, and maybe what I needed to make me take more care about eating and drinking properly. I guess you can't get away with it so much when you get up to these sorts of distances. As well as that, I finished my run yesterday surprised to findblood dripping from the side of my head - I'd caught my ear on a thorn bush while squeezing past a cyclist going the other way. There's certainly been better weekends! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark loyal Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Done the 10k at loch katrine this morning in 44:25. Had hoped for a bit faster but it's a pb by about 30 seconds over a pretty tough undulating couse. Finished in the first 10 for the first time, so I'm pleased with that. Really good wee event; excellent atmosphere and scenery. Might go for the HM next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Muilleach Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Rome marathon last weekend - finished in 3:31:51. A PB by just over 31 minutes. This was my second marathon, the first being 31 years ago in Glasgow. The cobbles were a bit of a nightmare; only about 10k of them but it seemed so much more. The original plan was for this to be my last marathon.. however, I now am planning a quartet next year; Barcelona, Rome, Paris and London = four in six weeks.. The easy bit will be running them, got to get entries first! Edited March 27, 2015 by Am Muilleach 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark loyal Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Victoria Parkrun for me this morning. Been targeting 10k this year so it was my first real go at 5k this year. Got round in 20:34 taking almost a mintue and a half from my previous best. Set the goal of a sub 20 minute 5k for this year so that's pretty good progress towards that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JogaBonito Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Good work Ark, I hope to break that by the end of this year. I think I'm feeling the early signs of shin splints already . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Totally ungodly hour to be up on a Sunday (for me anyway) but currently en route to Ocean Terminal for the Kilomathon - 13.1km to Murrayfield to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Went really well, kept a more or less even pace all the way round and ended up with 56:29, a new PB by 91 seconds for the race (my 3rd go). Delighted! Now for some beer tasting this afternoon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
