Great going chaps. Except you LE yer lazy git!

Know what you mean Bruce. I thought I'd really pushed myself this morning. 23 seconds slower than last time

I'm looking for a more gentle re-introduction to parkrun duty than Bolton this weekend. Anyone fancy joining me at Worsley Woods?

See, BP, Our Kid's looking for a gentle re-intro this weekend so WW makes sense. However, this one'll be my 50th and I really want to do it at LHP.

Knocked a whopping 90 seconds of my 10k PB, but I think I need to invest in some of these https://www.achillesheel.co.uk/nipguard ... 0wodVkEGyQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; #ouch

Excellent! Apart from the chafing obviously I picked some sort of gel from decathlon a while back. Works great on long runs, particularly around the old nads

I know what you're saying, but you've done a couple or so away from LHP, so your 52nd/53rd will be your 50th at LHP. I'm not sure it would be sensible to subject my calves to those hills just yet. Looking to get in 2 or 3 more 5k's in the next week whilst i'm off work (without brekky) That should see me reet for LHP next week.

If you're doing LHP. I think i'll do a flattish early morning 5k near home. Then go for breakfast. You up for brekkers HG?

[Gary the Enfield]

Spurred into action by Pru tonight I will cycle to and from my swim set so that's 14 miles bike and a 2km swim. Tomorrow is a 14 mile run and then Sunday will be a Standard distance triathlon race at Welwyn. Have to ease myself back in gently after my 24 hour layoff.

Good luck for your 50th Bruce.

Ha, no-one becomes an iron man without a sergeant Hartman!

Aye count me in. Not sure if I'll make the run as out tonight but should manage an Enfield.

Speaking of which - your training G

I'm planning on doing 10miles over Rivington either Sunday or Monday. Would be good to have some company
