3.71 miles. now that i have my gym bag packed, i should be able to get out the door faster.
I like playing with speed and incline on the treadmill.
hoping for the gym twice tomorrow0 -
So a pretty miserable time recently with quite a lot of disruption to my training. Between generally not being well over Christmas, then hurting my leg it's been inconsistent.
I managed a nice muddy 6km on Saturday, very slow as that took about 45 minutes but quite a bit of elevation and the surface was very slippy.
A fairly gentle 8km tonight at 5:53/km. I've still got a bit of tightness in my right calf, but it just made me more conscious of my gait and footstrike, so worked ok.0 -
I ran 5 miles today, outside as the weather was perfect. 49:45 It did not suck!0

I was lazy and didn't get up this morning. super tired.0
-
managed to drag myself to the gym and got in 5.28
race tomorrow. nervous because it's a 5k and that feels very short0 -
Life is good, still in an odd mental place though, I think it's the taper.
Glad nearly everyone's running is going well
Hope things come back on track for you MM
2k of medium intensity tonight. Averaged 4:45 pace, which is a bit slower than I had hoped for, but it was also a little close to dinner for a good push. 8 days until the 100k.....
5k tomorrow at parkun, then marshalling at a trail race on sunday, which means getting up at like 4am.... I'm running to my marshal point. I haven't decided exactly how far I'll run. Possibly the long course (18k), more likely the short course. (11k)0 -
My bicycle called my name yesterday. It was 60F when I snuck out of work early to go for a ride. 20.71 miles!
@taeliesyn Will there be a website where we can follow your progress in the 100K?0 -

I'll find out. It's the same organiser as the Track Ultra I did, so I think there is a chance. 0

SD is joining me. Even more nervous. Speedy 14 year old.0

10 out of 21 for my age group. 33 min0

Winter was back this morning, so I ran 2 miles at the gym (19:06), during which I faceplanted. Nothing injured but my pride (only got a couple of scrapes.) There were at least 50 people walking on the track.0

Good work Moyer (and SD) and Ceci!
There will be live tracking fro my race

It's currently untested, but all going well, that should be the link 0 -
I some how missed telling you all about my Friday run- 7 miles. Probably was trying to pretend it didn't happen. It was the next to last slowest I have ever run that route.
I had to walk a couple of times up some hills. I really need to do some hill repeats. 0 -
Embrace the suck Ceci!
We all have bad runs now and then, honestly I suffered on my 5.5k yesterday to where I was marshalling for the race. I was a little glad when I came across a friend, when I heading back in that wasn't doing so well. So I had a good excuse to slow down and stick with her.0 -
omg -8 with a windchill of -35f, so no outdoor run
bf wants to look at a different gym before we join one. i want to join the first one we looked at. it has a treadmill for long distance runners and TRX straps (for aerial conditioning).
this new gym better dress to impress.0 -
Not quite that cold here today, Moyer, but cold enough that I'm trying to find somewhere to run indoors. (My gym is closed today.)0
-
I ran at a local fitness center with a friend at lunch. Only cost me $4 to drop in and their track is 10 laps per mile, so got in a good 5 mile run in 48:10. Only fell twice, but no injuries. There was this one spot at a corner that had a slight bump and my shoe caught it just right. 0
-
glad you didn't get hurt.
I'm a faller. I almost went down three times my first time on a treadmill 0 -
got in 1.88 miles before bf decided he wanted to leave
we get to join the gym i liked hopefully before the end of the week. just in time for the weather to get above freezing0 -
I am so impressed with you guys who either use a dreadmill or a short indoor track. Dreadmills drive me mad, I started on them but I now can't stand them. It's been great reading about everyone's exploits
I haven't been great about updating, the issue with enjoying time off work at Christmas and then getting back to the madhouse and starting another reorganisation to take out more cost. Modern life!!
Not much cycling but getting back to running, paces are slow but distances are climbing and I had the fun of a drop of snow at the weekend, so with rugby cancelled, frozen pitches, I got a 13+mile long run in. I was slow, it was cold, but it was fun all the same. My snow and my cold are probably light dusting and barmy days for you guys but for me it was a shock to the system.
Fitness is returning as measured by my 5k parkrun times beginning to drop so if I could lose the poundage I put on in October, everything would be sweet. Have fun everyone.

I might run outside tomorrow morning. it's going to be 10 so it's above zero. that would be nice
also kind of looking longingly at the Ragnars in my area0 -
4.22 outside. felt good. like the new glycerins. they feel a little strange but by the end of the run they felt good0
-
I ran 5 miles in the gym yesterday (52:22). Wintery precipitation this week is making running outside pretty treacherous. (And I am suddenly a wimp about cold weather!)0
