Man v Scooter.

[UnfitNoMore]

Hi all,

Really busy week with work, and not much running done. Had a short morning run and then was challenged to 3k against little miss UNM on her scooter. I like a challenge! Old railway track trail with nice compacted surface should be a decent equaliser. Course set to 1 mile uphill (nice and gentle 22m gain) turn and run down to the finish. Man won by 2 minutes, though now the rematch is being arranged on tarmac!

Nice bonus after when I saw that my miles for refugees challenge was complete... 72 miles for the month in the bag.

Happy running.

Little ones are frightening on their scooters! I don’t fancy your chances on the rerun!! ⛑ ⛑ for both I suggest. 😆

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

May need a longer uphill for tarmac as she’ll be much faster freewheeling down than would be possible on the trail... maybe 2.9k up 100m down 🤣🤣

What a great little challenge for you. Epic to have covered your distance for refugees, well done. Happy running 🤗

Next challenge is “you can’t stop Berlin” on Nike run club... 26.2 miles between 21st and 27th 😎

Love this!

Well done on making your mileage🙌

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Thanks... got to 50 a lot quicker than the last 22 miles plan cutback and a slight knee niggle early this week have meant I’ve been chipping away at the goal.

You are brave racing a scooter, on tarmac little miss will win for sure

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I’m pretty sure she will... though I could find a just uphill 3k if I really tried 🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

That might be a little mean but all’s fair in run and scooter i guess, fantastic lifestyle example you are though

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

Ha ha, I like this. Won't be challenging my oldest just yet though... it amazes me how out of control they can look going downhill but they somehow are in control but with no fear 😱 Congrats on reaching your target, hope the kness niggle has settled

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

The knee is great even tested it on the steep downhill again since. Must have needed a rest. Kids don’t seem to develop fear until late teenage or later.

Well done for a very important cause.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Scout37]

Thanks... I love having an incentive

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Ah...you won this time!! Watch out...Little Miss will be plotting the comeback!! 😂😂 Sounds like you both had fun!! Well done for all the runs and the great cause too! 😁❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

If she wins I’ll have to tell her it’s freestyle next time... my car is faster than all her stuff 🤣

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

AKA Cheat!! 😂😂😂! Nothing wrong with a little competition!! 😁🤗❤️

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

You wait till she gets an electric scooter UNM. !!

Trials In Portsmouth this month eek 😱

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I don’t get how shops can sell items that , for most people, are illegal to actually use. people on the roads with zero protection? Great idea! Will probably be fine in trails when there’s a lot less traffic around... doesn’t bare thinking about in full on rush hours!

Won’t be buying her one.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

TBH I thought we’d already had the trial during lockdown down as there were so many around. Too quiet, too fast and sometimes two people on them. Not safe for pedestrians or drivers!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Another thing for us runners to weave around
