[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to ju-ju-]

No, that's fine!

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Can I go and do another one.

I am desperate to get into the 35-39:59 band. lol.🙈😂

Seriously you may have started something here.🙈😂😂

I am worse than my grandsprockets.🤔🙈😂😂

Secretly I would also love to be able to say boom 💥, like our Ju.🌟👏👏

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

Of course - go for it!

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Grand sprockets depart for London 0800, so if I do not get at 0530 -0600.I will do it tomorrow evening.🤔

Maybe both.🤔😂

Eye on the prize.🌟👏👏

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

[Tbae Metric Marathon]

The end never is so profoundly true.🌟👏👏

Running is truth.👍

Hi Abi,

This is the result of my morning run.5k, 7:54, 39:32mins.👍Funny the PR only shows 39:57.? I will take the best result if that is acceptable.🤔🙈😂boom💥

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.🤔 or is another post acceptable if a PB.🤔

Eye on the prize.

Got to believe this is magic.💥

Take care of you.💫🏃‍♀️💫

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

Excellent work, sir!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

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.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thanks Abi.You are a star.💥🏃‍♀️💥

I will read this with interest.👍

In order to catch our lovely runninginbeirut I would need to improve by 2:31mins and therefore record a time of 37:01 minutes.🙈😂

Eye on the prize.👍👏👏

Going to try it tonight.🤔😂🥇🐆or🦖or🦕 lol.

Any more tips, no illegal coaching now.

MJ and Sir Mo F are too busy at the moment, 🤔🙈😂

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

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

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Yes way to go Abi.🌟

Too true you have a life.💥

I am just like a big kid in a sweet shop.🙈😂

Take care of you and for now eye off the prize.🌟👏👏👍
