The athletics/running thread

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

Knocked a further 4m 10s off my PB and SMASHED the one hour barrier with a 10k time of 59:59 and no nipple issues!

Well done!

Although I couldn't run yesterday I did manage to get out on the bike. My sister's boyfriend plotted one loop of the IM bike course and wehad beautiful weather. My god theres some hills. Nothing too challenging though apart from Sheephouse Lane and Hunters Hill. Going to try a tentative jog this morning.

9.5 miles out and back from Crown Lane to the Pike and back. That blew the cobwebs off.

It's now been decided that my 50th pr will be at Dalby Forest as I'll be at my uncle's in Scarborough with my niece and nephew. He'll run it too. Coming up to 70 and still knocks out 2 marathons a year.

Blimey. Thats some going for a 70 year old. I harbour hopes of still being able to run at that age. It's the only chance I'll ever have of winning my age category.

I've got the Coniston trail marathon on Sunday. 5 years since I did it during a horrendous heatwave and swore I'd never do it again. Its supposed to be purely a warm up for the ultra next month but the old ego's already started whispering to me that I could try and beat my previous time

Some warm up! Good luck. I managed 4 miles today and my calves are tighter than the old banjo string. Starting to fitter after recent excesses though.

You paint such beautiful pictures!

I'm still in the same boat tbf. Managed 3k at the weekend before the familiar tightness returned. Need to book in another session with your cousin!

[Harry Genshaw]

You fit enough for pr saturday? If not, I'm going to offer to marshall if you fancy an Enfield?

[LeverEnd]

Ewwww.

[Gary the Enfield]

Ewwww.

That gets an Ewwww? From you? You're not right in the head.

Got back from Bolton yesterday after a 6 hour drive (thanks M6 you utter Cockwomble). Noticed yesterday that Horwich pool is closed on the weekend for the Horwich Triathlon. Anyone doing it?

I also understand the pool is to be demolished and rebuilt. Anyone know when that's going to happen?

[Bruce Rioja]

#toaman. Good job I'm fit on all of our behalves.

Bugger. BP has cried off (think he may have spotted a cloud) I was going to marshall then brekkers but I ain't getting up at that time without the prospect of unlimited bacon at the end of it.

Having seen your latest FB profile pic, i'm surprised that you won't be in attendance, as there is also unlimited sausage on the menu!

I have a physio appointment, so will unavailable for selection.

Some snap chat modified thing my niece put on of me looking like I've got heavy make up and a blue rinse. Bloody teenagers!

Got round Dalby Forest this morning. Lovely venue, felt like shit.

[LeverEnd]

Oh and got a clap for 50 parkruns after I volunteered the information when the nice man asked if there were any pr milestones. Shameless attention seeking.
