Love it Abi.❤️🤣🤣

Suppose to be on a 1128 train to Manchester Airport.Emergency fire problems so cancelled.Chilling with a coffee.

Thinking of getting my running gear on but too much baggage, would need a Rickshaw.🤔🤣🤣

Every good wish to all participating, more almighty hefting required.Off the charts welcome.💥☄️👏👏

80 secs/k quicker? Which bit of the marginal gains lecture did you miss?

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to UpTheStanley]

I am going to have to jump off the Burg Khalifah in Dubai to get the next 80 seconds UTS.🤔🤣Best wishes to you and Dexy.Hope you get a warm windy day.🌞💨💑🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️💥

That’s ok Roseabi, our 2 attempts at running yesterday got thwarted by torrential rain and we had to dive into cafes . So out today instead. My speed was fairly consistent over the km this week instead of starting rediculously fast and not being able to keep it up, but I took about 6 steps of walking just to catch my breath. Honestly I sounded like a steam train. So 1 km @ 6:00 is the score on the door. I cannot imagine running at that pace to do 5k in 30 mins.

No wind behind us today, unlike last week. Have fun everyone. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⚡️

Well done!!!

[UpTheStanley Half Marathon]

Well, talk about after the Lord Mayor‘s show ......

I’ve just managed a 4’31” km, a 1 second improvement - which quite pleased me, but will be invisible on the graph now tbae’s stretched the y-axis beyond human comprehension 😀

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to UpTheStanley]

Great work!!!

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon]

5:29 /k over 500 metres.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Maddee_6333]

Fabulous!!!

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Hard work! 😍

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Maddee_6333]

Well done Maddee - Maybe I should have done 500m instead of a km 😂

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Next time!

Last time I did 5k, which did me the world of good, but wow was hard.

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes if I did 5k, I’d have to do it at parkrun . I couldn’t go for it twice in a week for that distance. .

[Maddee_6333 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

That’s exactly what I did 👍

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Hi Abi. 5:06 pace for todays 10k just now so no improvement here

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Decker]

Next time... 😊😊😊

[Sqkr Half Marathon]

I tried my first speed run, 5.05 /km over 5k for me. Got a way to go to catch up with my best pace but will see where I get to!

[UpTheStanley Half Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

Only 3'44" pace needed to get you to the top of the leader board then ……..

We should all have started with a run leaving us some scope!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to UpTheStanley]

Hmmm, perhaps I should get rid of the leaderboards.

[UpTheStanley Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

No, no, you’ll be able to sell the chart as modern art 🗺come the end of the month 🙄

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to UpTheStanley]

Ha ha that is a good idea!

Have hidden the leaderboards, but the chart of course will remain 😊😊😊

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

Good start xxx

[pianoteacher Marathon Half Marathon]

Hope I'm posting on the right week! Managed 26:06 at parkrun this morning. Started way too far back so lost a lot of time in the first km but perfect conditions meant I still managed a PB 😁

5:11 per km according to Strava - starting so far back made for a slightly long course x

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to pianoteacher]

Good stuff!!
