Parkrun PB streak ended

[Katnap]

That's all I have to say about that.

It actually ended a couple of weeks ago. I had been running extra distances and some intervals and it was all getting too much.

The PB streak was still a buzz but all my other runs were toxic and the advice I got was: "You're running too much!" and "You're settling off too quick!". Strava confirms so did a slowerstart , did negative splits, and was flying on the final km at our local parkrun ✈ 😁 Overall time was off pace but it felt good to finish with a sprinting flourish!

But back to PBs now. Course PBs count don't they? Did a tourist run at Kettering last Saturday and this coming Saturday TailChaser and our kittens will be at Marple parkrun as part of team BaddieThePirate. Another PB streak in the making 😁

Nice times Katnap! 😍!

Nice team run to come too!! Sounds brilliant!😁 I can imagine you’ll get that PB at Marple! 👊🏽❤️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

For sure! I could walk it and get a course PB 😁

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Ah...but you’ve way too much talent for that!! 😉❤️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Just need some fans to turn up and cheer team Baddie on now...

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Ah Team Baddie will be awesome all on your own! Too far to cheer you on, but I will be sending virtual cheers!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😍❤️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Kitten #2 is quicker!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Well, I would need to see you all later after you’ve had your coffee or maybe even lunch!! 😂😂! But I’d still be smiling! 😉❤️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

I didn't know I could go so fast at the end of a run either 🏃🏃🏃

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Very fast!! 🏃🏼‍♂️💨 💨 💨!! 🤩🤩🤩! Love it! 😍😂

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Might need an oxygen tank waiting for me next time 😵

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

😂 I doubt it. You picked up a phenomenal pace at the end!! That could very well be your new thing! 🤩❤️

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

No PB at Marple Katnap. All you can get is First Timer 😂😂

Aren’t you fast though? Maybe you should stay there while we all catch up.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Well I'm an old timer. Just need to add borrowed and blue...

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Consolidation sounds attractive... Don't want to overdo it again!

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Oooh I love a negative split! Great run, katnap. 👏👏👏

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

They were supposed to be proportional, not logarithmic!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I followed someone I know who has been going a bit quicker than me but I think she was on a consolidation run so started to build speed from about halfway.

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I’ve never managed proportional, TBH! Start slow, finish strong = happy me. 😁

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Wow is all I can say...wow, wow, WOW!!!!... and I soooooo wish I could be at Marple!!!!

Have a wonderful time and please give eldest kitten a hug from the Snail xxxx

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

You will be there in spirit! Snail badges will be packed and worn. 😁

[Flaraflarkin Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Awww our snail badges 🤗🐌 Well run KP 👊 Your pace is insane 🤓💫 Enjoy Marple ~ Hi to TC & the kittens 😊🦋

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Flaraflarkin]

They all say 'Hi! ' 😸

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Yeayayay.... I am taking mine to Monsal Dale on Sunday!!! Park run snail and HM snail... hopefully!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Wear it offload to make a snail trail! 😉

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Have a brilliant HM Oldfloss and don’t forget to send us a photo with your bling. 🏃‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Dexy5]

Snails on parade x

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

It seems like you progressed to HM distance so quick...! Go Floss 👏👏👏🏃🏃🏃🏆

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Katnap]

Started before Christmas on roseabi 's plan...weather conspired against me..new treadmill bought ..weather improved!!! Had to tweak the plan quite a bit but with great support from @roseabi and especially misswobble ..to try to get the runs in.

Last 3K of the plan tomorrow..and here we are.

Just hopeful that my slow and steady will get me there...I intend enjoying the whole experience..it has been quite a journey from C25K in 2015 to here...! And the Trail is beautiful...and one I have walked and cycled..never run though...unbelievable!

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

I had a look on Google, what an awesome, beautiful place to run Oldfloss. All the best for the day 👍 x

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you for making the weather improve! 😉

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

I am so sorry I won't be at the run with you ! Lots of pikkies please! x

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Will do!

[Deals1 Graduate10]

Wooohhooo!!

That's excellent 😀😀🏃🏃

Ps love forest gump

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Stupid is as stupid does.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Feeling pretty stupid with all my tense muscles!

[Deals1 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Be fine in a bit 😁

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Just Wow! 🚀

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Ta! 😁

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

What beautiful looking negative splits Katnap! I’d be very happy with those and I’d be constantly looking at that graph with pride! 😍 Your PBs will return, never fear. 😀

Enjoy Marple. My FOMO has returned but when I looked it was 141 miles from Bristol. A tad far! Have a blast and don’t forget team pics. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️😀😀

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks cheeky! Lots of pics and reports I'm sure!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

All my runs felt toxic for about 2 weeks. Then the weather turned wet, I had more days off and yesterday's 10km was fine. I think extra rest helped me. I'd also been feeling starving for bad carb laden food and I indulged a bit. Maybe I just needed some calories...?! Your splits are very fine and your pace is ace!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Feeling tired now. Saving myself for tomorrow 😸

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

Wow Katnap, exhibition standard negative splits and your first km was about the same speed as my fastest ones! You are so fast even if it wasn’t a PB. Far better to enjoy it and go a bit slower anyway. I would have loved to join Team Baddie but it’s a bit far. Instead I will join you in the virtual world as a tourist at Market Rasen, then off to the Peak District in the campervan to cheer Oldfloss over the line!

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Have a great time Sandie!

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

I will, thank you. Looking forward to meeting Oldfloss in real life and she said Bluebirdrunner is supposed to be there too. Ooh, real people 😂

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Ooh yes I'm going to be cheering too Sandie! Look forward to meeting up...we can roar together!😁xxx

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Yay! Will be lovely to meet you 😃

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

It's great that PB's keep happening for you Katnap. I reckon course PBs are more relevant than overall one's as they are like for like tests? That said, they have to come to end at some point....otherwise you will have to complete your runs before you start them....which is a tough ask!!😊

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

I have yet to find a TARDIS that works!
