No time for round the moon Abi.🙈🤣. Just the speed challenge with my barrow.🙈🤣

❤️⭐️👏👏

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

Oops, sorry Tbae! Corrected now 😊😊😊

[Colinsmith Half Marathon]

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 😉 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...

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Colinsmith]

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

[Colinsmith Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

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

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Colinsmith]

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 Administrator Marathon in reply to Colinsmith]

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 😂

[Colinsmith Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

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.

[R4inbow Ultramarathon]

I do like your spreadsheets 😍

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon]

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 👀

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 Ultramarathon in reply to Maddee_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 😄

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

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Sorry, 🤦‍♀️ of course I can - blame it on being awake since 4:30.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Maddee_6333]

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

Poor you, must be knackered 😞

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Sounds right 👍

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 😴

[Snuffy_T Half Marathon]

So I'm doing 3 km, and my average is 07.28 km , thanks for doing this , great motivation

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Snuffy_T]

Thanks Snuffy! And well done - keep it up 😊😊😊

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

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.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Gotcha!

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

4:35 for this morning. Thanks Abi 😁

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Fabulous work!!

[misswobble Marathon]

I started today! Going to start the speed bit on Wednesday when a 5k tempo run is on the plan

Have fun everyone ! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!!!! 😊😊😊

[misswobble Marathon in reply to roseabi]

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 🙄. I went to trim it earlier as it was bothering me and it popped. Feels better now 😁.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

Ouchy!

[MatildasPb Half Marathon]

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to LittleNell83]

No, what distance for the speed challenge?

[LittleNell83 in reply to roseabi]

Oh, I am daft. 3km?

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to LittleNell83]

Great idea! Tough but fair 😊😊😊

[Windoze Half Marathon]

Distance based...are we doing Monday to Monday or sunday to sunday or wot? 🤪🤣🤣

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Windoze]

Monday to Sunday 😊

Can you please give me your pace in min/km? Thanks xx

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

5km 5:05 per km

[Katnap Marathon]

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 Ultramarathon in reply to Katnap]

I will be posting on Mondays.

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

Stats added - thank you!! xxx

[SkiMonday Ultramarathon]

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.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to SkiMonday]

Awesome!! Thank you xxx

[Windoze Half Marathon]

Morning. Weekly distance 32k..!! 😳😪

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Windoze]

Great stuff!!!

[Setters Half Marathon]

11.97k running, pitiful but see next sentence 😂

141.2k Walking , not normally this far but went on holiday for 3 days to Nene Park.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Setters]

Lovely! Well done xxx

[misswobble Marathon]

Mornin

Ahem, clears throat, the results are in

Speed (5.01 km) = 30:42 - 6.08 AVP.

Distance = 41.45 km

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

Fabulous!! xxx

[misswobble Marathon in reply to roseabi]

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
