The official running thread™

Been 12 days since my last run because I have been sick and basically struggled a tad with this morning run than usual. Dont think I will be even able to complete the macmac 25km now

Definitely doesn't look great. Think you should slowly ease back into things. Perhaps drop the pace by a minute.

I have kinda made up my mind, I don't think I will enjoy it if I am not fit/ready enough and I don't want to risk injury. Also I must still buy trail shoes etc etc etc.

I was actually referring to the training session, but yes, there's no use in trying to struggle through 25km if you don't feel 100%.
 
Adidas bought most if not all of the of the Top 100km runners including world record holder... Think they only had like 1 or 2 athletes in the Top 10. Nick Bester had a nice jab at them but clearly running 100km on a nice flat route is way different from all the uphills, if they try again next year think they might put up a decent fight in the downhill.
 
Anyone do it? Massive congrats if so. That up run is a beast. Only just snuck in under the cut off in 2019

@The_MAC do you think they will check this at MacMac 👀

25km


Have completed trail-running events of distances greater than 15Km or participated and finished a traditional city marathon (21Km).

Howzit man, no they won't, I guess it's just a guide to use as a reference. But if you haven't dont a 21km road race then it will definitely be a big challenge.

I'm not sure what your stamina looks like, and your ability to push through your threshold ;) But if you're generally a resilient little badger, then you'll make it, with some scars, but make it

It can be anything from 4-5 hours on the trails, on your feet.

Have you tried a trail before, and a half marathon on the road?

After breaking my local parkrun PB a couple of weeks ago (after 8 years), I was within 5 secs of breaking my new PB - except the parkrun time was out 10 secs, so it's now my new PB. (And 24th out of 360 runners, 1st in age category).

And broke my local parkrun PB again on Saturday, by 10 secs.
