Running/Jogging/Speed Walking

90Piesanhour

First run for 2 weeks after being off work with the cold/cough from hell for 3 days and managed 5.78 miles in 51:37 at 8.55 a mile. Happy enough with that, considering how shite I felt just a couple of days ago.

90Piesanhour does it actually help with weight?

90Piesanhour

Loose_Lips Bloody right it does! I'm constantly 12 and a half stone/80 kilos, sometimes under but not often over. The combination of cardio, flexibility and things like balance, concentration and strength building is just perfect. Can't recommend it enough.

Congratulations on completing your 119th parkrun and your 118th at Skipton parkrun today. You finished in 90th place and were the 56th Male out of a field of 174 parkrunners and you came 6th in your age category VM55-59. Take a look at this week's full set of results on our website. Your PB at Skipton parkrun remains 00:26:35. Your best time this year remains 00:28:48.

Also had health check at the end of the run, where my weight was 80kg, BMI was 22.3 and blood pressure was 131/79, which is nice!

Just walked the dog. Calf gone again. I'm getting rightly fucked off with this.

After months of aches, pains, sprains and general laziness.....I ran! 1 3 miles. Knackered. But back on it.....

Anchor

Travis_Bickle Nice. You been to a physio?

Travis_Bickle

Anchor no. The lad's best mate's Mum is a physio. Had a couple of good chats with her. Have put on some timber and it was getting to me. Felt great to get back out. Small steps but I'll be back to my lockdown distances soon enough.

Travis_Bickle it always comes back I've found.

Just bobbed out myself. I'm not extending my legs. Still shuffling along but form takes a bit I think.

Definitely thinking about it a lot more than I was six months ago.

Back out in Chile.

I'm trapped in a casino complex! They even closed the pavements. Imagine that farm on the M62 without the access route under the motorway.

Not much running but two miles in and made a break into the Andes.

Didn't get very far. Steep as fuck, dry dirt and was on my arse twice.

How those fell runners do it I'll never know.

Got some pics though.

First post-Covid run today after 2 weeks of almost complete inactivity. Managed to run 6.08 miles in 54m 9s at a rate of 8:54 per mile. I'll take that after struggling just to get out of bed a week ago!

Back to martial arts next week. Can't wait.

Nice one Pies.
Since Covid I can barely do a 20 minute walk round the neighbourhood with the dog without feeling out of breath.
( admittedly like the North Face of the Eiger)

I had Covid end of Jan into Feb and it was very unpleasant. I was back running a couple of weeks later and my experience was very similar to Pies’s. I still don’t have quite the same overall stamina as before, meaning that individual runs are ok but before i was getting out 3 times a week, doing 16km each time but now it’s just twice a week as that feels what my body’s comfortable with. Hopefully it’s just temporary.

I’m shit at running but just wanted to grab post No 1000 👍
