Hi Fast Eddies!!!!

How are you getting on? Any more RESULTS? Post 'em in the comments!

โ˜… To clarify, the distance that you choose (1 mile, 1 km, or less) should ideally be on the same route for each run of the challenge. BUT I appreciate that this may not always be possible, so if you need to run somewhere else sometimes just try to pick routes that have roughly the same elevation profile, turnings, and obstacles (crossing paths etc.). It's all good! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

There's still time to join the Challenge - comment below! Here's a quick reminder of the rules:

โ˜… PICK YOUR DISTANCE: 1 MILE, 1 KM, OR LESS - or 20 jumping jacks if you can't go outside to exercise.

โ˜… RUN your chosen distance, or jump, AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!

โ˜… POST THE TIME IT TOOK YOU TO RUN YOUR CHOSEN DISTANCE (in min:sec) HERE ON THIS POST IN THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will post WEEKLY (Tuesday) updates, and put all the results into my spreadsheet (calculating the changes in your running/jumping times from Week 1 in seconds) which you can view here:

docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

Further details can be found in the Week 1 post healthunlocked.com/marathon...

Stay safe, good luck, and have fun!!!!

Iโ€™m going to have to pull out of this one sadly! Iโ€™ve been pulled in to help the NHS with a temporary call centre! First day was yesterday! I will be running but I wonโ€™t be able to do this properly over the 5 weeks. I will try and do this at a later date when all returns to normal โค๏ธโค๏ธ

6:14 for my 1km segment, 9 seconds faster than last week. Kind of wishing I'd picked somewhere less hilly, but that's the downside (upside?) of running from home - it's all hilly!

That would need a gale rather than a stiffish breeze - I have gone quicker than 4'00" pace for 400m on a treadmill, but can't imagine it for a whole K without significant wind assistance. But there will be a gale before too long โ€ฆ...

I didn't really do week 1 properly as I wanted to run 5K so just picked my fastest K which was 6:25...therefor it looks like I've had a massive improvement this week ๐Ÿ˜‚ as I jogged a couple of K this morning until I got to a good spot (mainly flat, bit of down hill) and then went for it and managed 1K in 5:42.

I like this challenge, made me feel super speedy ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘

I did fast 200 m intervals today but it was too awkward to get going properly as so many things to look out for. It got on my wick I was going to run it afterwards but got hacked off so will do it on Wednesday Folks were all jockeying to avoid each other, but if you need to go into the road youโ€re dodging traffic too bah! ๐Ÿ˜

It's more slalom than speed trial at the moment isn't it. I was lucky and didn't have to avoid anyone on my 1km segment.

It is! Also watching your footing too We need eyes in the back of our head Itโ€™s strange isnโ€™t it having to peer around a corner to see if someoneโ€™s coming so you can swerve if needs be ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Obtained time of 16 mins 37 secs on my segment. 18 seconds less I think (on 2.09 km run distance) therefore circa 9 seconds per km faster. Not sure what I had for breakfast this time to make the difference!

I went out for my second attempt yesterday and shaved a bit more off on km #3 for 4:40.3 The snow they forecast did not materialize today so I got my 10k in this morn and found a nice little offshoot trail I never knew about for years of running it. This is what excites me now ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™‚

I checked it out though, to satisfy my curiosity

My bit was only about 5 yards long. Hope yours is more of a challenge. LOL

I've not been on my trail for a while as it's so busy I thought I'd avoid it til things start to ease up

mine had a historical plaque near it speaking to a family that used to own the land and the farmstead that once stood there. Not sure how long it went on for as I turned back around 1 km in.

Thank you Abi for giving me a heads up with your calculation.I was looking for the results of the Nov19 speed challenge.I intended to start where I finished.3:23 pace standing start for the 200m and 3:59 - 400m.I was going to start there but I am pleased Iโ€™m forgetfull.๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚

I have my eye on my prize,200 m,2:59 pace, 35 seconds, so 8 seconds to find.

No idea how to find that,not withstanding the excellent support you provide, thatโ€™s a given,just go eye balls on stocks think of the forum and relax my face and smile through trying to finish strong.

Enjoy everyone and stay safe.Atb.

Hi all! In the absence of any races and having been injured Jan/Feb I thought I had better have a go at this for some motivation ๐Ÿ™‚. Itโ€™s the first time I have attempted 1k, and my pb was set at 3.56 when I ran the first 1k of my 5k pb a year ago.

The results are in!

Wobble 1 k = 4:59 min/km (Garmin)

Better than last week. Chuffed with that. I would have gone faster had it not been for a slow moving group on the bridge, and a loose dog. Always a bleepin loose dog for goodness sake I thought for a second of jumping over it but didn't want to end up in Casualty again

Bit miffed as Nike Run Club gave me a pace of 4:29 but they're always more generous than Garmin. Sticking with Garmin for authenticity's sake

Did the same stretch of route as well. Going to stick with the bridge as it's more or less flat

I got an honourable mention from Smashrun again, so doing something right.

Thanks Roseabi for doing this for us again x
