Hi there fast and furious folk!

The Spring Free Speed Challenge is now officially finished.

If you have a result from last week you haven't given me yet please post it in the comments 😊😊😊

I need to have a think about how to present the graph, which is a bit crazy this time 😂 but I will put up a conclusion post soon.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Challenge - you were amazing!!!!

I’ve enjoyed watching all your speedy progress! 😅

And me 🙋

cheekychipmunksHalf Marathon• in reply toDexy55 years ago

Difference is, Dexy5 , that you had a valid reason not to be running fast - at all even! I had no such reason! 🥺

Dexy510 Miles• in reply tocheekychipmunks5 years ago

The time wasn’t right for you cheekychipmunks. Too much other stuff going on.... I’m glad to see you can now drive to the common with Floss again.

I’m doing a baby steps run/walk today. Eek 😬

cheekychipmunksHalf Marathon• in reply toDexy55 years ago

Yep, tomorrow I’ll be doing just that! It should be fun, and the bluebells are out so I hope to get some frolicking photos of her. 💙🐾

Please report back with how your walk/run inaugural session goes. Bet you can’t wait! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thanks - no week 5 result from me - I was never in the right place at the right time last week.

Thanks for organizing the challenge!

Thanks for organising! My time last week was 8:15 so I’ve only got slower over the challenge 😂

roseabiUltramarathon• in reply toslow-farah5 years ago

Not really, that was your best time other than your benchmark run! xxx

Thanks for organising all of this, it has been fantastic!

Thanks for doing this. I learned something about my left knee and did a 1k Pb. Knee strengthening exercises next.🙂

Yes, thank you roseabi! These are always a great challenge but this one has been particularly special 💪💪👏👏

RunBrianRunHalf Marathon5 years ago

Thank you roseabi. It has been a lot of fun and I’ve learnt a lot about my self.

I still plan to run a fast 1 k every now and again. My challenge is to see if I can dip below 3.30. I’m also going to work on 400 and 200 metre running too.

I need to find a local running track.

roseabiUltramarathon• in reply toRunBrianRun5 years ago

There's one at Withdean Stadium, closed at the moment though, I'd think. I know someone who has run there with his club 😊

Thanks roseabi. I’ll check it out.
