YoungParisian_inExile I'm too old for metric.

I feel safer with my average pace in mph. 🤓

So if I went metric my average pace per km would be about five mins?

YoungParisian_inExile

Anchor roughly yes . How’s it going after the injury … not that bad by the look of it !

Anchor

YoungParisian_inExile only second run back. Properly rested it. Slow build up now. No more silliness. Just get out and do 5/6ks for me

YoungParisian_inExile

Got heavy legs for the last 3k . Dont think having a day drinking in Brighton on Thursday did me much good.

Anchor

YoungParisian_inExile good efforts Nic. You must be feeling ace.

YoungParisian_inExile

Anchor Good to hear you're back out ! Good time as you said it was hills, trail, mud ...
Feeling ace ... sometimes but some days are tough when the tank is empty. I wasnt on Friday morning 😁

Got to cut out a load of shit though as bloodwork tests showed my cholesterol is high-ish.
Bye bye charcuterie... cheese and cut down on drinks, so im hoping to break 4.30 on the 10k.

The eldest did the Keswick park run on Saturday. She, allegedly, was "just" going to "jog" round..........and then became irritated by some of the whoppers taking part. Finished up doing it in 26.09.

First run in nigh on 6 months today. A mammoth 5km doing laps of the running track in the local park.
But I'm so bloomin' happy. I tore my Achilles last September, had various scans and then lots of physiotherapy, including at first exercises that the physiotherapist and doc said later likely made it worse. Through autumn right up to Christmas there was pain with every step I walked and at times I thought that was the end of my running. I tried keeping up my fitness by going cycling but got a rotten bout of Covid at the start of Jan. Ironically, being knocked sideways by that that might have worked in my favour as other than going to work I wasn't doing much at all and that provided the rest the achilles needed to heal. No pain or tightness at all today.
I'm out of shape, was blowing at less at than a kilometre but I know from when I first got into running 7 or so years ago that I'll build up my stamina. Journey of however many miles begins with a single step and all that.

oneallanclarke Nice one. It gets easier...apparently! Good luck.

Was registered for a local 6 mile race last Sunday. Its a popular one, about 4 to 5 hundred run it usually. Was still gonna do it with the hernia but the chest infection was a bridge too far. It would have been folly. Anyway, a mate texted me on the morning of the race asking if his mate could have my registration number as he'd forgot to book on in time and it was sold out. I was really proud of myself when I saw the results and I'd done it in 38 mins. Shaved a good ten minutes off my PB. 👍

fuzzy Thats fast !

fuzzy

YoungParisian_inExile Bloody fast! Im just relieved "I" didn't win a prize in my age category. That would have felt wrong.

Running on grass is fine. Only knobheads run on concrete.

YoungParisian_inExile Fuck metric. My brain can’t process times and distance in metres. If someone tells me a hill or building is 300ft high, I have a picture in my mind of that, 570 metres, however, no idea. Massive? Tiny? Fuck knows!

YoungParisian_inExile

Day 241 ./.Fast 8k today …. 8 months in …4 months to go

Anchor

YoungParisian_inExile Excellent stuff Nic.
