Heyup, speedy Gonzaleses!! 🀩🀩🀩

The Summer Speed Challenge is now officially over 😭. But don't be sad, there will be another one in the Autumn πŸ€— Also, if you are running behind schedule and would still like to enter a cheeky final result - get out and run!!

Please can anyone who hasn't already given me their Week 4 result pop it in the comments below - or let me know if you won't be posting a Week 4 result, thanks much.

I'll post about the results asap, but they can be viewed here in the meantime...

no news from my side. this morning I managed a 44' on a 6 miles (not as fast as the 8 miles promised, but good news for my future 12 weeks HM training plan!

I hope to try a 5 K park run this or next Saturday. I will let you know... And then I look forward to this fall ;)

Hi Abi,

This is the result of my morning run.5k, 7:54, 39:32mins.πŸ‘Funny the PR only shows 39:57.? I will take the best result if that is acceptable.πŸ€”πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚boomπŸ’₯

Thank you🌟 for this great challenge which has got me into the 35- 40 band and running at 8km/ hr and 8 mins / km.

I am going to do an evening 5k consolidation run. Are you finally closed for business and a well deserved rest.πŸ€” or is another post acceptable if a PB.πŸ€”

Eye on the prize.

Got to believe this is magic.πŸ’₯

Take care of you.πŸ’«πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’«

Excellent work, sir!

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toTbae

Strava uses elapsed time (instead of moving time) to calculate the best effort. This is to help you estimate your best racing time, because in races the time does not autopause as it does in your app :)

That is why your best estimated 5k effort (and PR in this case) was slower than the time recorded for the run.

Thanks Abi.You are a star.πŸ’₯πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’₯

I will read this with interest.πŸ‘

In order to catch our lovely runninginbeirut I would need to improve by 2:31mins and therefore record a time of 37:01 minutes.πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

Eye on the prize.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Going to try it tonight.πŸ€”πŸ˜‚πŸ₯‡πŸ†orπŸ¦–orπŸ¦• lol.

Any more tips, no illegal coaching now.

MJ and Sir Mo F are too busy at the moment, πŸ€”πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚

I would suggest that you keep at it and stun us all in the Autumn challenge!

Also, I will have to stop accepting more results soon, I do have a life you know :)

Yes way to go Abi.🌟

Too true you have a life.πŸ’₯
