Mad dogs and Englishmen + an Italian

[MikeJones68]

Another hard run with the club at work this lunchtime. Our coach Matt was in a sadistic mood today and pushed the pace. We were joined by Stefano, who has apparently been absent from the lunch run for several months. Not sure if Matt was trying to put him off coming again, or trying to get him to join us more often to build his fitness up........

I just missed my 5k PB as we ended up looping just before the 5k was up, which was a shame. Nevermind.

Anyway, half an hour has passed since I collapsed into my chair and took on 2 pints of water, and I'm just starting to feel good again

Jeez; was Matt upset about something and venting on you guys?

Well done; how you get any work done after that is amazing too! 👍🏽

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to lagatachocolate]

I think he was just showing off. Ran me to the point of exhaustion and then just skipped ahead as if he was out for a gentle jog!

[lagatachocolate in reply to MikeJones68]

What a show off! 😂

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to lagatachocolate]

I'll get him back....one day........

[lagatachocolate in reply to MikeJones68]

I have no doubt about that!

Crumbs young man, Mo Farrar eat your heart out!

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

LOL. We ran 5k in just under 24 minutes..........Mo ran 10k in 28 minutes last weekend!!

[Hidden in reply to MikeJones68]

Give it time 🤣

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha. Maybe if I'd started running 35 years earlier.........

[alisonx Graduate10]

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to alisonx]

Just a bunch of lunatics!

[Razouski]

Wow, sounds like a tough run. My run ended in disaster today and a trip to the L&D. 😢

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Oh no! What happened?

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

I just saw your post. So sorry to hear you had a very bad day
