Re: The athletics/running thread
Good thanks. More or less the same as two years ago but a little slower on the run. 2019 it was a 4 mile downhill and 2 mile loop round the city centre. This year it was 3 laps of Roundhay Park so MUCH hillier. Good fun though. Need more work on transition. Big weekend coming up. Full swim tomorrow (2.4 miles) then run 18miles am/pm Sunday is a 100mile bike ride. Then three weeks taper for the big one.Gary the Enfield wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 11:50 amHow did you get on?KeyserSoze wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 8:17 pmAll clear to give running a go at the weekend*

Baby steps but at least some steps!

I know you’re not great when it comes to IT mate, but you’ve surpassed yourself there, in answering your own question to KS!

Re: The athletics/running thread
I think delaying the end date won't matter, just if they call local kickdowns or revert backwards. Parkrun has been allowed for ages. I'll be camping in Eskdale that weekend so will probably do the one at the Northern end of windermere if it's on.KeyserSoze wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 12:48 pmLooks official, per parkrun uk's pet journo, however they f*cking buried that stage 4 caveat in there.

Got 2 5k races before that though, first for a year, starting next Friday.

There has to be a special tattoo available to celebrate such peak ineptitude too.

Re: The athletics/running thread
A post-Engerlun cycle out to the north downs, a shade under 85km in all. Lovely views out of London. Took a wee break at the top of a climb called Gangers Hill (and a bastard it was, too.) Bit of flapjack and some water and a sit down, lovely.
Tendon is none too happy but we will work on that this week.

Not sure whether you meant to reply to yourself again there, GtE, or whether we are now in performance art territory.

Anyway, 2 track meetings this week and I’ve done sod all training in 2 years. What could possibly go wrong?!
Today temperatures are due to hit 29 degrees down here. I think I might be a field event only athlete tonight. Way too hot for this fair weather runner!

Re: The athletics/running thread
After booking a trip to the zoo for my godson and brother and missing the England game Sunday, I've now realised my 5k race is at 8.10 on Friday evening. Slap bang in the middle of the first half of England Scotland. Pre race preparations now centre around funding a pub near the race venue in York for the second half. Bugger.
