There is still time to join us in our new HU Team 20XX in the World Running Cup!

  Folkylass and I are hosting, so feel invited to head over to this link if you want to see what this is all about. app.runningworldcup.com/tea...

There is a dedicated app, countries (and devolved nations) compete with each other, and each team has its own leaderboard.

It’s great fun and England came fourth 2 years ago, sixth last year.

And it’s all free!

I'll be doing speed run Saturday and will make sure it's 3k under 30 mins then will run Sunday too

I struggled to be fast enough last time, I'm not much faster now but enough 😃

yeah, that’s the one thing I don’t like about their way of counting mileage for the competitive element! They discount slow runners, like us. 🙁

But they do track this runs, so they should be included in team totals, I think.

I'm a bit of a twit, and I'm blaming Garmin, I've been wearing Willows garmin because it has different features to mine, but when running it doesn't show me time, just heartrate, pace and distance so I stopped at 3k which was 29 mins 24 secs so under the 30 mins, I also had problems with NRC not working and it was a horrible run, so swapped watches back yesterday evening and have sorted NRC this morning, aiming for 5k along the river this morning 😃

Managed 5k this morning. I’d wanted to do a bit more, but 3 hours of gardening on my “rest day” yesterday seem to have tired me more than I expected. On the plus side, I did manage a faster pace than I have for a while- and this was supposed to be my day for the NRC Plan 25min Recovery run! 😁😁 I’ll take it as done!

Joined thanks 😊 ...feels strange running for England mind you. I am English but have lived in Wales for 35 years & my son is Welsh, I may have to keep that bit to myself 😂

yes, I find it a shame that one cannot chose. The location decides your country. I’m German, have lived in Scotland and Finland as well as now England, and would have loved to have a different flag beside my name, supporting some smaller countries.

I logged my country of residence as England , but was able to choose to run for Wales. 😁

CBDBGraduate10 in reply toSulley101

oh wow! Where did you set it to wales?

Sulley101 profile image
Sulley101Graduate10 in reply toCBDB

It was a selection option during account set up. I’ve had a look at editing my profile but it doesn’t appear, so looks like it can’t be changed once selected.

ahh, good to know.

Given I’m half English , and half welsh I’m not sure who I would run for. Hope you all had fun.

Hah!

Remembered the 3k cut off…forgot about the 30 minutes 🙄

So despite Sunday being a speed run…I’m not sure if it counts. Strava recorded 3.18km in 31m 35s…pace was 9:55/km…so don’t know.

My RWC app has gone all glitchy on me and is showing a server error so…🤷🏻‍♀️

🙁 Well, I think there is a clash every month now, so plenty of time to iron out any technical glitches until the real WRC event.

Not what you're looking for?
