Note to self...When not fully fit and the temperature is in the 20's don't steam off and run a 45 minute 10k, because at mile 9 your world will end in muscle achingly painful fashion. That last 4 m... read more

alright 5.43 mi 00:42 07:45 pace
Preparation has not been good for Sundays race for a multitude of reasons. Just going to have to just judge it on the day as I've no idea what time I'm capable of at the moment.

No run for 2 weeks due to work commitments, but started like a train tonight. Unfortunately the train ran out of steam at 3 miles and developed a bothersome stitch that I couldn't shake off. Still ... read more

Easy pace 8 miler tonight. feeling confident that the pace is coming with every mile I put in. Only concern is a lot of travel for work over the next 3 weeks so got to fit a run in whenever I can.

Decided to do a quicker run today to see how far I've come. Very happy with progress. 4 miles at 7.05 mile pace, then a mile and a bit at a slower pace to warm down at the end. Not quite up to wher... read more

alright 6.74 mi 00:57 08:26 pace
Gentle run to start the week. Aiming to run atleast 4 if not 5 times this week and get up over 30 miles. Only a few weeks until race#1 and I need to negate the unhealthy weekends with some big runs.

Didn't go at it quite as hard on the return leg but still happy with the time. Was running on empty for the last mile and a half.

FIT
alright 5 km 00:19 06:10 pace
10x500m /1 min rest. First row for a few months as I left it too late to get out the door for a run and lost the motivation. Decent workout on the rower though and it is a different type of fitness.

Rowing's a great workout I reckon. Well done Richard!

good 8.83 mi 01:10 07:54 pace
Getting stronger every run now. Thought better of running in yesterdays heat but more than made up for it today. think I may try a 13 miler soon to gauge where I'm currently at.

Still some way off where I need to be fitness wise but seen a seen a significant improvement over the last 2 weeks. Starting to look forward to my runs again rather than dreading them!

Yeah I've got it in the diary. I assume you'll be running again this year? I'm lining it up to attempt a P.B, but if it is as hot as last year I may have to use it as a training run and go all out at the Robin Hood half in September instead.

New trainers appear to be working. No leg pain anymore. The quicker pace destroyed me though. Heavy weekends and quick runs do not make for a good combination.

Good run all the same though Richard. That's a great pace overall I reckon and some lesssons for the next race I guess!

Well done Richard! The Newark half always challenges me. On paper it's a straightforward race but in reality it is tough, the hit and humid condition were awful (hotter or at least more humid than last year i reckon) and that hill pops up at the worst time possible. I managed to comfortably tackle it as i've been training on if and that downhill is usually welcome but it aggravated my cut so i was in alot of pain! :) Awesome time anyway and you finished with a good time despite your fragmented training!

Finishing in 1:50 is a decent time so that is the one positive to take from today. But I'd rather run a steady paced 1:50 and finish comfortably, rather than suffer through the last few miles like today. I only have myself to blame though, even when I'm completely fit I know full well that when I start out too quick, I struggle later in the race. Only a month though until I can rectify today!
