After doing my first 10k race at the weekend, I somehow managed to sign up for another 2 and then a further half marathon(cross country with hills) 
Anyone else done anything a bit silly off the cuff lately lol.
Gives me an excuse to look for new trail shoes though I guess, I like the sound of flicks boa laced asics, reminds me of snowboard boots 
Oh no.. I entered another one.. please stop me
Oh, well done. i bet you did it in good time too, you are pretty fast. I would totally recommend the Fujirados, they really are up to rocks and roots but speedy and lightweight on tarmac, pretty water tight, and very comfortable. i would recommend trying before you buy, though, i had to go up a full size.
No, it was very slow as it was a quagmire of mud, 90% was field edges, wood or heavy grass with the only gravel bit being a hill lol. Lot of it was single file due to the conditions but I managed it in 64 mins which I felt was good going for the conditions. You do tend to get stuck behind people and just follow them a bit out of politeness as well, I didn't know that the start positions were grouped so I just slotted in 2 thirds back, I guess I must have got it about right as I didn't have to pass many and didn't get passed too much.
I don't know if it's reckless but definitely impressive!! Good luck with the hills especially!
As I live on the edge of the fens, hills are a bit of an anathema to me and not really available to train on either. But there is one nearby and I have promised myself to train on it, but never get there. Need to do it! Thankfully all the stair climbing and legwork I do at the gym does help on the hills.
I'm admirative because I find it so hard just to run up a small hillock lol! It's actually the next step after reaching 10k for me: try and run those little earth mounds of the park... Well done and keep the good work!
Ah those ones aren't so bad. It's the long horizon topping monsters I fear lol
Perhaps it's like long distances? If you manage the small ones several times, it can amount to running up a high one once in a while... You'll do it!
Did 3 of those on Sunday Mike....well they felt like ‘Horizon topping hills’ 😱😂
Way to go Mike, lots to focus on mate 😊🏃🏃🏃🏃
Thanks Ted. I was feeling a bit flat about the running lark, doing the race seemed to help peek my interest again a bit, here's hoping it continues lol. Out for a jogette tonight, fingers crossed.
Wow, I'm in awe. a friend of mine keeps nagging me about entering another 10k or even a half marathon. I'm rather reluctant and can't even begin to think about a half marathon. Good luck and enjoy.
Entering them is easy.. Really 😃
Yes, entering is easy, it's completing the actual race that worries me. I've only done two official 10k events, so perhaps I should have another go...
That's twice as many as me 😁 I think your friend is right. You will smash it 😊
You are starting to convince me... I'm going to look for a half marathon near me...
Ooo errr!
Recommendations needed - best way to carry water?
Oh no!!!! 👟😫
And the physio said, carry on running- only not so much 🤔
Running away the day...🙂🏃🏽♀️
