Entries still open, join us for the HU10 spring 2024

A quick reminder for anyone who missed this or anyone who has been too shy to put their name down so far! Entries are still open, we'd love you to join us!

We look forward to lots of you joining us on the HU10 start line in approximately 6 weeks! πŸ₯°

β­πŸ“’πŸ“’We are hosting our next HU virtual event: HU10 - spring 24 πŸ“’πŸ“’β­

It's been a while since our last event, so there are more details below for anyone who has no idea what we're talking about!

In short we pick a date and invite our VRBs to cover a given distance, running or walking, wherever they choose! We nominate a date for the event and look forward to reading your race reports. If you can set off at the nominated date and time, you have the added boost of knowing we are all on the virtual HU start line together - running on our own, but definitely not alone.

⭐ Distance: this time you will have the option of 10k or 10 miles or both!

⭐ Main event date: Sunday 19th May (however, as always, we realise the date/time might not work for everyone; so in order to give greater flexibility we will accept runs at any time on Sunday 19th May, or at any point during the following week of Monday 20th to Sunday 26th May).

By my calculations, that gives us 8 weeks to train (although I may still be walking)!!!

⭐ How it works?

β˜… We will compile an event playlist based on your submissions. Let us know any tracks you would like added to the playlist either by sending me a PM via chat, pop it in the comments below or chckout the playlist post here: healthunlocked.com/marathon... 🎢

β˜… If enough people are interested, we can reuse the existing β€˜run experiences’ using RunGo. Some people liked it, others were less keen! Think pantomime version of Nike guided runs! 😊😊😊

β˜… We will have race bibs for you to print at home.

β˜… Finally, we will of course have a winner! In the past, the winner has been the person who completed their run in the time closest to our randomly generated time (after the event closes). Maybe you have a more creative suggestion, but however we choose, we will ensure there is absolutely no requirement to run fast to win this event! πŸŒπŸ†Do let us know if you have a more creative suggestion!

⭐ We hope you’ll be eager to join in (and help make this another great one)

This event is of course entirely free to enter and yet again, there are no t-shirts, medals, socks, aid stations or toilet queues! No training plans or routes will be supplied! Instead, a unique HU experience, run your way 😍

If you're currently running around 5k, this may encourage you to push to 10k. If you're running at 10k, perhaps it will give you the boost to get to the magic 10 miles. If you're running beyond, perhaps you can use it as one of your speed runs! If ... well, you can use your imagination 😍

Let us know if you will be joining us at the startline in the comments below and we will add you to the start list. Both the start list and suggestions for a playlist can be viewed here docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

~~~

From your team, Β Β Irishprincess Β Beachcomber66 and me x

Why on earth did I think it was this Sunday? 🀣

In my erroneous thinking, I did a 10 miler yesterday. I'll write it up later.

I intend to run a slow practice 10K this Wednesday (#49) and on Wednesday 22nd May I will run my 50th 10K much quicker which will be your HU Spring 2024 10K.

Hello linda9389 I notice that you have put the number 59 against my name on that spreadsheet, it will be my 50th 10K, not number 59.

I'd like to do the 10 miles, but recent events and the fact that I've not run more than 4-5 miles in one go since October, I'm not sure its a good idea..

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toLookslikejames

How about I put you down for 10k and if you get to run 10 miles we can switch it? I'd hate to put any additional pressure on you, but would love to have you onboard 😊

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

I've thought about it, and I'll try for the 10 miles. I need a boost mentally, so this will be good to push for. If I don't make it then all good

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toLookslikejames

I'll put you down for 10 miles. Remember the option for 10k is always there if you change your mind ... but I do hope you join us one way or the other 😊

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

Thank you 😊 I'll try 10 miles, like I said, if I complete it it might be a good boost

Hi Linda

i might have to change from the HM to 10k as I’ve got a hilly 10k race the Sunday before πŸ™‚πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply tomisswobble

No problem. It's 10k or 10 miles this time - your choice 😊

can you please add UpTheStanley on to the spreadsheet for the HU 10k linda9389 . He might end up running for both of us if I don’t get clear in time.

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toDexy5

Will do. Hopefully you'll make it - remember you have until 26th. Feel better soon 😘

Morning Linda. OK, decision made. Can you change me from 10 miles to 10K please and I will do that on the following Saturday, the 25th. I ran out of time and I would prefer to build up again slowly. I don’t want to risk my coming races, the first of which is this Saturday! I’ll send a separate post to you on the Events thread. Many thanks πŸ₯°

linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toIrishprincess

Hia, just letting you know I’ll not be attempting a 10k for the 19th May. Just today did my first run after a 10 day break, as I recovered from a minor calf strain.

I feel ok, but 10k is too far. I’ll get back to 10k again, but need to take it bit by bit and will need to take my time.

Do I need to delete it in the Google sheet or will you?

I will be waving my Pom Poms for everyone and will probably do a little run on that weekend.

Thanks again for organising this, even though I might not participate in it.

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toCBDB

I'm sorry to hear that CBDB but am glad to hear you're at least able to run on it again.I'll take your name off the sheet, but if you change your mind at any point, just let us know. Remember it's open for runs up to 26th May, and run/walk is good too. Wishing you well with your comeback 😊

Hi. Count me in for 10k. I'll probably run it on the Thursday.

Fabulous! Congratulations!!! You can add your time here in a comment, or in a comment on the results post, or you can write your own HU10 post and let us have a run report that includes your time. Whichever you prefer 😊 Thereslots of individual run reports here on Bridge and over on Fun Beyond 10k if you would like a read πŸ₯°

Thank you! I did it in 1:08:30. Very proud of myself. I’ve never ran than far before and I loved every second. Sorry to be dim but how do I find Fun Beyond 10k? I need a new challenge to make sure I keep on running πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ x

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toTired_nurse

That's just brilliant! Now you've run 10k, there's a badge available for you in the Bridge to 10k forum - you can claim it by commenting on the badges pinned post over there.

Beyond 10k is a sister forum to Bridge. You are already here! It was me that was confused - I thought I was replying to you over on Bridge, so sorry! Take a look around, read our posts and browse through the pinned posts for lots of useful information too.
