Hi Speedy Beards!*

How are you getting on? Any more RESULTS? Tell us all about it!

I was thinking about the runs I'm planning to do this week, and realised I'd forgotten to include the speed challenge 😲😆 I'm back on it now though 😄

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

★ The Challenge will run for FIVE WEEKS, from Monday April 6th to Sunday May 10th.

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

Warm up, and then RUN your chosen distance, or jump, AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! One run only per week, and run the same route if possible!!!

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

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

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:

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

Hi Roseabi, could I add my best time of 5:38 for my km last week please?

I’m doing a short run every working day: Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri then longer runs on Weds and at weekends 🏃‍♂️

All going well so far and my target of sub 5:00/km looks achievable with a bit of luck, dog walkers and others permitting!🤞

Yeayayyaayy... Morning everyone....:)

I am a tad pleased as I managed an outside run again.... and I don't know whether to add this week's time here now or wait to see if I can improve on it:)

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathon in reply toOldfloss

You posted a time to the Week 2 post, and I have added it - do you want it left on? Or do you want to use it as your first run? There is a massive discrepancy between those routes...

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministrator in reply toroseabi

I will have it as my first run...and can I have today as week 2...? Then week 3 will be same route as the others?

So..Week 1..8.14

Week 2...7.27

Week 3 to follow later

Is that allowed? Please x

Hi Roseabi, hope you are keeping well and thanks again for all you do for us!

I did my 1km in 5:29, as part of my second fastest 5k ever. After a week where I was struggling with a lot of runs, I really enjoyed this one. To the point that I didn't stop and take photos of the cows for strava after the segment, I just kept running!

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathon

I can post a very nauseating 4:48 this morning.

Gaining 2 seconds on last week's flat out effort was very unpleasant 🤢

I was convinced I couldn't do better and that that mental attitude, together with obvious physical limits (and a headwind in the mid section) would result in a slower time this week. It turns out I'm stupidly competitive 🙄. I might give it a miss next week as the pressure is getting too much 🤪🤪🤪

Morning all, another beautiful start to the day...perfect for me, my favourite running weather is when it's sunny but cool 😊

My 1K was 5:15 today, yay 😀...started off waaaay too fast at 4:45, no chance of keeping that up for long, legs were ok but I soon ran out of puff!

UpTheStanley profile image
UpTheStanleyHalf Marathon

Hi Abi

Slightly stronger wind behind, marginally faster time, dodgy pace judgement. Given the accuracy limits of what can be extracted from the Garmin track, I apparently did the first 100m in 20 secs (3'20"/k pace), which was insane if true. My 250m splits were 58, 65, 66, 58 secs giving me a new PB of 4'07".

But it felt pretty good and gives me hope I could still improve it fractionally next week, if I can just get the start right (and the wind is kind). The warmup was into the wind which made it easy to keep the pace down and save myself for the flying k after I turned round. Dexy5 provided invaluable cycle support, which I'm going to miss when she starts running again.

Onwards and upwards!!

The road is closed for roadworks where my 1k segment is! 😮 So it might be tricky to make an improvement this week. A rest might be useful anyway!

My fastest 1k today was 4:53, but it was downhill mostly, so not sure it counts! I generally getting a bit quicker but I’m focussing a lot on hills (or what pass for hills around here). Anyway, I’ll see if I can get any quicker over the next week or so 😎

I could’ve sworn I replied to this already! No improvement for me with 4:54 in the last km on Monday. Heavy legs after a heavy mileage week and Sundays 25k are the culprits I think. So 4:40 is still my best. Good luck everyone!

Here's my week 3 result - flatlining at 5:06 again.

It was a strange run, not really up for it, forgot to start my watch, then got into the swing of it. My 1km segment starts just over 2 miles into the route. I am always worried about conking out before the end (it's uphill) but I think I need to give it a bit more welly at the beginning.

Hope I don't go too mad and flatline myself of course (great film)!

Beachcomber66 profile image
Beachcomber66AdministratorHalf Marathon

Today was my 2k comeback run following 17 day lay off with a swollen knee. I decided not to push my luck! Things feel ok. At the last minute I decided to put on some KT tape just to help keep things stable. I think I will leave it on until it drops off (the tape rather than the knee hopefully!). Negative splits 🤣🤣, least slow being 6:43. Maybe I will push that up a bit later in the week if all feels good. What is it about me that people feel they can advise me to stop running ? It happened again today. I told him that despite my calm exterior, comments like that made me feel like taking his walking stick and doing something unmentionable with it! All done with a laugh and smile....😬

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathon in reply toBeachcomber66

I once was called a "fruitcake" by an old chap! Can't win 'em all 😄

Well done! I think I should put this as your starting run because it doesn't really relate to your week 1 pre-injury result of 5:31 - what do you think?

Beachcomber66 profile image
Beachcomber66AdministratorHalf Marathon in reply toroseabi

That's fine with me roseabi. Any improvement I make will be coincidental any way. I won't be running faster than 5:31, that's for sure. Fruitcake???? Clearly lost his marbles!! The bloke this morning compounded his sin by going down the guilt trip route, asking if our dog was missing out on walks because of my running....The answer is that she isn't, she has had fantastic 6k plus hill walks in the woods every day through lockdown despite my knee. Sorry..just letting off steam! A BOF, boring old....put your own noun in.😊

Thank you UTS. I really struggle with getting under 25 for parkrun and by that, I mean it really hurts. I just can’t seem to do it very often and when I do it feels like I’ve been through a ringer. 😖

Wow, awesome...isn't it a 6 minute mile you need to join the Marines 😆👏

RunBrianRun profile image
RunBrianRunHalf Marathon in reply toRun46

I have no idea. 😂 Interesting thought though at my age. 😬😂🤔

Actually I was curious to find out what the criteria are and I found this

“ two 1.5-mile runs (2.4 km) on a treadmill, the first to be completed within 12 minutes 30 seconds, the second within 10 minutes and 30 seconds, with 1 minute of rest in between. “

This has to be doable and I reckon UpTheStanley and I, plus anyone else up for it, should have a go! It’ll no doubt kill me in the process mind 😅

Run46 profile image
Run46Half Marathon in reply toRunBrianRun

Lol, sounds like I've accidentally set you and UpTheStanley a serious challenge 😂😳

RunBrianRun profile image
RunBrianRunHalf Marathon in reply toRun46

It would seem so. Although in all fairness this looks a bit out of my league. 😂 Nice to dream though!

UpTheStanley profile image
UpTheStanleyHalf Marathon in reply toRunBrianRun

I can manage the first bit OK, but 4’12”/k pace for 2.5k when my recent best is 4’07’ for 1 - I don’t think so! Marginally more chance on a treadmill with it setting the pace.

Anyway, I was in the Navy, so why would I want to join the Marines? 😀

RunBrianRun profile image
RunBrianRunHalf Marathon in reply toUpTheStanley

I agree. On reflection, it looks like I may regret attempting it. But attempt it I shall at some point. I like challenges. 😬

Let us know how you get on BrianUK.

UpTheStanley took great pride in running the RN fitness test every year at the recruitment qualification speed. Then one year the PTI wouldn’t let UTS do it because he was a certain age. It didn’t stop him doing it on his own though!

Virtual parkrun for me incorporating the speed challenge. Sadly 2 seconds slower than last week at 5.20 😢 I decided to run the whole thing rather than vary my pace and the first 500m was at 5.09 pace, then I faded. Parkrun in 30.44 which was a whole minute slower than last week too. Oh well, you can’t win them all and I’ve got 2 more attempts.

Super Speedy Sandie 👏👏👏👏Hmmm, I shouldn’t be spurred on by that. 4K slow run today, but things are feeling better (apart from asthma putting in an appearance today). Maybe try for a sub 6 minute this week and see if I dare take the brakes off in week 5.

Not going to get anywhere near your times though...but hey we are not competitive!😊

Hi Roseabi, I forgot to post last week! It was slower than the week before at 8.21!! Not sure what happened but I felt like I was running in treacle!! So today I decided to go for it and ran my fastest 1k ever at 7.20. A bit silly in week three as I don’t think I’m ever going to beat that!!!

Hi Roseabi, my best believable result for week 3 was 5:14 for my 1 km target👍

I did have some apparently faster runs but Strava wasn’t behaving on those runs so I can’t rely on those results😳
