Wakey wakey bois!

Solid! PB?

 

[Agent_Smith]

Good morning out for me too. Much faster than I'll be running at Comrades but decided to give it some horns and see how I felt.

That is properly quick. Nicely done.

Did a run at Victoria Lake (Parkrun) this morning, 22:28. Was aiming for sub 22, but still went well.
Calves took alot of strain.
Need to focus on my longer runs so the shorter gets quicker. Winter definitely isnt making training easier

Yeah, been breaking my PB every park run so far.

Proper quick though, anything sub 5min/km is mental

Yeah very nice. Onwards and upwards

Hoping to pull a 25 in the next 2 months or so, though I'm going to miss about 3 weeks of running due to travelling will try get some runs in but it won't be the same

It doesn't have to be the same. Get a few kms in as often as you can. It all helps.

Yeah I hear you, just going to be difficult is all. One upside is I will try to do one parkrun overseas.

11.69 km trailrun in 1:14 at 6.19min/km. Had to walk about 200 meters, steep hill. Still pacing myself to prevent shin splints.

Did a 5k in 25. Not that impressive as I broke it up into 3 fastish laps. Next time, fewer and shorter breaks.

great time for trail running! where do you go btw?

 

[Steamy Tom]

Did a 35km run this morning. Was harder than I hope due to tired legs.
Heart rates stayed in check at least

Same pace as Agent Smit

my HR would have been at like 160+ doing that pace xD

how do you guys mentally get through this kind of run?

Finally broke 25 on yesterday's PR. Was 24:57 to be exact but I'm chuffed with it.
Just hoping I can keep up with training over the Winter.

Some of you guys are running some seriously good runs/times!

 

[TedLasso]

Yeah. I just managed to get 30m,30s for 5km. First target to get to 28m for 5km. What I used to do 4 years ago. But now much older and knee pain!

 

[Sparkz0629]

Signed up for the Stor-Age Festival of Running, quite excited. a less "serious" run, and a nice outing.
Going to do the 18km option, so lets hope for a decent time. Going to aim for a sub 1:30h. thats 5min/km, so should be fine depending on the route.
