I know some of us on here are a lot shyer than others about talking about our running achievements but it always good to have a place for some showing off - if only to encourage people struggling with C25k that anyone can do it and anyone can enjoy running.
If I may start, yesterday I got a parkrun PB and this morning I did this: mapmyrun.com/workout/100789... TWENTY FLIPPING MILES! Without wishing to sound pervy, I'm not sure it's possible to be in any more pain and be any more pleased with oneself.
Please feel free to add your own boasts underneath, I genuinely looking forward to hearing them.
All the best and keep enjoying our wonderful sport,
AHSx

Great post Acton! I am not quite at your level yet. First run of week 8 today and it was hard work!! Getting home my Garmin tells me I ran 4.2km in those 28 minutes (never ever thought I would do that). Also my fastest mile so far - 10.34. So that is me ......
I didn't run !! sunday has never been a running day for me , other commitments .. maybe once I am back to running 5k I will add in a sunday run because I can
You know - one of the things i hope i can benefit from if i ever become a proper runner is that I can get places quicker and between buses! 20 miles!!!!! You can just RUN 20 miles?????
Nothing to brag about per se but I did a 5k interval session after doing the same thing, and not enjoying it one bit, on the same route last Sunday.
The weather has been very changeable today and it tonked it down for about 5 minutes - which was great. It was much better than last week's experience in every way.
Inspired by TeaFairy, I have a pot of beef stew on the go!
wow, thats fantastic, well done you.......my boast...that I have managed to keep this running thing going for 2 years 4 months....who would have thought!!!
Me too TF!!!! Not run for four days and I feel my running career has imploded. It was the downhill that did the damage. Drat and double drat. Take note Acton!!!Don't run downhill hell for leather.
Well done ActionMan!!!!! Brag all you like cos you earned bragging rights. Have a rest now though petal. Enjoy your quiz. What sorta quiz. You can come back here and ask us some. LOL
Great post no running this week but first day back at the grind of work today after a kidney infection, Catered a meal for 24, two courses. Can not wait to get out running next week. I miss it. 20 miles that is epic well done and shout all you want you definitely deserve it.
20 miles is awesome. Which marathon are you going for?
I did my first run outside on Thursday, WITH DOGS (I'm a little phobic), 3 laps of the local lake. Saturday I did a Parkrun, fastish, but didn't get a PB. Then today I just had to get out there and run. 4.5 laps of the lake - 10k in 1:09:01.
Bit achy, but I felt like I could run forever. I know I've only done two 10ks, which I didn't think I'd ever be able to do, How difficult is it to go from 10k to a half marathon?
Hi rmnsuk, well done for getting out there and enjoying some running. I wouldn't say it's difficult or easy to go from 10k to 13.1 miles, it's just a question of increasing your mileage by no more than the obligatory 10% a week and keeping on enjoying it.
