Morning! Lovely day for a slightly brutal run after a couple of quiet running weeks for me. I’ve only just signed up for this, and it’s pointless anyone competing with linda9389’s prodigious bicycle mileage πŸ˜‰ but I can chuck my 23.41km run into the pot. I’m having a pint with the posh folk of Brookmans Park looking askance at the sweaty bloke. Don’t even try and make me feel guilty...

roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toColinsmith

Hi! Can you post your total distance for the week next Monday? I'm going to get very confused otherwise... 😊

Colinsmith profile image
ColinsmithHalf Marathonβ€’ in reply toroseabi

Ah sure, apologies, I misunderstood. Do you want it broken down by discipline (running, cycling, swimming etc) or just one figure?

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toColinsmith

Just one figure, but for the purposes of conversation we will of course want to know exactly what you've been getting up to 😊😊😊

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toColinsmith

Haha! Your cycle mileage is pretty high too! Pretty sure the distance challenge isn't a competition though, but a team effort to get round the moon - so on that basis I should be your new BFF πŸ˜‚

Well, if capitalism insists I work for a living, I may as well get some exercise getting there...

I look forward to being part of Apollo HU. Maybe Michael Colllins.

I wrote a reply to this earlier, can’t see it now, so I apologise if it is actually here.

I’m missing from the Speed spreadsheet πŸ‘€

Did a personal best at Parkrun at the weekend, so I’ll try to build on that.

My Garmin time 31:24

Parkrun official time 31:48 - but I’d rather go by my time as I generally start near the back.

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toMaddee_6333

Hi sorry about that! Amended now 😊 The challenge actually starts today, but I'll let you off in view of my poor admin skills πŸ˜„

But pretty please can you give me your average pace in min/km going forward?

Maddee_6333 profile image
Maddee_6333Half Marathonβ€’ in reply toroseabi

Sorry, πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ of course I can - blame it on being awake since 4:30.

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toMaddee_6333

No worries! I make it 6:17 min/km, hope that's agreeable!

Poor you, must be knackered 😞

Maddee_6333 profile image
Maddee_6333Half Marathonβ€’ in reply toroseabi

Sounds right πŸ‘

I gave up trying to go back to sleep, but left going out for my run until the alarm went off at 5:15.

Hoping for a nap soon 😴

Can you put me down for both please, Abi?

I'm not doing any great distance at the moment but every little helps to get round the moon I guess.

As for the speed - I'd like to do a 1k sprint.

My feet are a bit horrific at present. I have a big toe nail almost off so am taping it for runs and bed time Came home today with a blister and another traumatised nail - which was my fault for not cutting it short enough πŸ™„. I went to trim it earlier as it was bothering me and it popped. Feels better now 😁.

Don't know if I missed your post calling for stats...

Been on the IC the past week so running was limited to this Saturday.

8k = distance

1k fastest in 5m36s

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathonβ€’ in reply toKatnap

I will be posting on Mondays.

Sorry to hear you've been injured - hope you're properly recovered?

Stats added - thank you!! xxx

SkiMonday profile image
SkiMondayUltramarathon

Speed: 5:23/km

Distance: 45.2 km (running)

Two weeks ago, my 2nd 20 minute interval was at 5:31/km so there's some improvement there. Last week it was 6:49, not a great run but would have been a good baseline.

If things go to plan, distance should be about the same each week.

Weeeel the speed was not very speedy but I chose a tempo run from the Nike coach thingybob, which I thought was a flat out sorta thing. It wasn't. Oh well, it was good and I enjoyed it.

Things can only get better .... tra la la
