After some deliberation I have fiiiiiinally got together the results spreadsheets for your virtual runs π
I have decided that we will not go with a traditional leaderboard this time (although look out for a winter challenge!! hint hint...), instead I have set up WOOHOO BOARDS for you πππ
β OK, what's a Woohoo Board??
We should have a list of all race participants on the Woohoo Boards. When I find out you have completed your race you will get a WOOHOO! on the board π You have the option of having your finishing time displayed on the board, but you don't have to reveal it if you don't want to. I have also included links to all race reports where available, so do keep those coming!!
β β β Please note I am NOT going to check for your results on Strava, that's too much work for me! π You will have to post them on here!!
I will update this post with links to the Woohoo Boards as they are created, so I suggest you SAVE this post so you can keep an eye out for results!
To speed up getting your Woohoo (and medal!) it would be really helpful if you could comment here when you have completed your run, with a link to your report if you can provide one.
Thanks roseabi I love the idea of a Woohoo Board! I'll be doing my 10K for this week tomorrow, weather permitting. It's my 57th birthday tomorrow too so I'll give myself a celebratory Woohoo when I finish. I'll try to put a virtual 10K race report on here sometime over the weekend.
OK, I have given you your 5K medal, and added the 5K Woohoo to the board. The 10K race is between 17th and 23rd of August, so let me know when you've done the 10K and I will add that to the 10K board and award your new medal.
If you would prefer to have your HM medal back at any point let me know xx
I did my 10k this morning. I cant see my name on the 10k spreadsheet. I got soaked and will write a report when I have dried off π. I'll stick with my 10 miles badge please. Xx
Hi roseabi, please could you put me on WHOHOO board, race report submitted three days ago and Iβve been awarded my HUHM V10K medal which Iβm very proud of. π
Woohoo boards!! Love it! Thank you roseabi! π€£ Please put me on them if I'm not already (ooh, just spotted myself on there π€) Loving the bling btw πxxx
I set off this morning to earn my Woohoo for the HUHM v10k but sadly for the first time since C25K I stopped and walked mid run. Happy to say I carried on running after a recovery but didnβt do the full 10k and so I guess Iβll have to sign up to next weekβs virtual run to get it done!
Iβve been running a bit less than usual these last couple of weeks and it showed!! Glad I have this challenge and forum as motivation. Hopefully a better story to tell on the next attempt!!
Thanks - I know what you mean and I agree - Iβd have definitely counted it if I was sure I still covered 10k with the walk incorporated but I stopped my watch and only have 2 runs of 5k and 3k recorded. Iβm pretty sure my walk wasnβt 2k sadly.
Hi everyone. I did my 5k on 15 august in 49:17 in Harrow lodge park. I am awful at writing reports but want to report it was a lovely sunny morning. Highlight was jogging past a family seven Yorkshire terriers. Finished run in local cafe by park pond - bliss.
I completed my 10K on Tuesday in 1:45:03. I was only meant to run 6K and do my 10K tomorrow but the three people I run with affected my run- they normally do a 10K in Tuesday while I do my 6K then leave. Two of them ran off quickly and left me and other runner. The other runner was going through a v bad patch emotionally so I stayed with them, listened as they needed to run but also offload their feelings. I decided I could not leave the person at 6K and running the remaining 4K was ok. So my 10K came earlier in the week than expected and felt I did the right thing not leaving the other person alone.
Now I feel really needy..thank you for the 10k badge but in gaining that I ran 10 miles so would rather have the 10 miles badge! Sorry for being needy but I'm so gobsmacked xx
The 10 Miles virtual run is not until the week commencing August 31st, and I will only be awarding the Virtual 10 Miles medal for people who have run it! I am happy to give you your regular 10 Miles badge back if you prefer that?
Woohoo! Here is your medal, and I have put you on the Woohoo board with a link to this comment.
Link to race reports written in HU - preferably a standalone post with a nice picture, but some people are writing short reports in replies to my posts which is fine xx
I completed another 10K this evening. Very windy and lots of rain but did it in 1 hour 46. It got very dark towards the end so we speeded up as me and my friend were in the local park. Am bringing head light to wear next week. Well done and woo hoo to everyone else braving it this week x
Hi! Just did my 10k today but looking above, I think I read 10k instead of 10 miles and today was the last day. Maybe it still counts? Beautiful day here in Spain and temperatures have started to go down a bit so didn't suffer too much with the heat. I plan to do the half on November 1st.
