Went out on my 2nd run today after the last one went so well. Decided to try and go for a 5 mile run cross country and only made it about a mile before rolling heavy on my ankle and have been in a canny bit pain all day since.

1 step forward followed by 2 steps back. Gonna be a long next 4 days at work lugging the mail and parcels around before Christmas on this bastard 😂😂😂

Fingers crossed it's not sprained and its just slightly sore in the morning but I really should have thought about doing XC when the weather has been as shit as it has. Not the brightest thing to do.
 
Just over 500 miles for the year for me in my first year of running. Still a few days left to add to it.
Fell ower last night on a run down the river, full of clarts and a bloody knee.
Luckily no injuries though.

Steadily building my mileage up, was hoping to hit steady 10 mile runs by the end of the year, on just over 8 at the moment. But considering I couldn't run a bath this time last year I'm impressed with myself
 
Any advice on how to stop spitting and feeling like I'm going hock my insides up when running. Seems worse for the first hour and then eases off.

Only just started to do this over the last 3 months or so, was fine before.
 
1,904.8 miles so far this year which is almost double last year. About half of that was during 1st lockdown though when I averaged 300 miles a month.

7.94 miles a day needed to get to 2000 miles for the year. Helps that I haven't had more than just a few niggles that I could carry by dropping the pace & very few races.

68 Miles to go. 7.6 Miles a day.
 
Tried to find a segment I could steal. I was a sprinter at school so liked the look of Roker promenade which is basically the straight bit in front of the cafe.

2nd & 3rd place efforts this morning , 2 seconds off the leader. Going to try and get better at sprinting amongst broader training, have enjoyed adding intervals recently.

Wait until there's a gale force tailwind. 🏃‍♂️💨 ;)

My holy grail of endurance was that I wanted to run a marathon and swim the English Channel in the same day.. It's never been done... And now at the age of 59 it won't be me... Someone will do one day... Happy Xmas and a great running new year ..

No real advice but I do the same as well tends to be later on in the run for me, my nose runs quite a bit as well, just think its being in the outdoors for once hasnt bothered me really.

2,400 miles for me probably add a few more before the year end. Up from 950 previous year the lockdown definatly had a positive impact, had a lesser couple of weeks to end the year but will get back to it from Jan and aim for 3,000 miles next year depending on how much cycling add into the mix. Lost 8 pounds over the year and am now in size 28 trousers which susepect hasnt been that size for 30+ years.

Create a segment from your front door to the end of your street. You'll be the leader nee bother
 
Went to the gym to do a 5k interval session at x10 500m @ 3:45 pace and ended up running 3k continuous at 3:45, did 500m at 5:00 and the rest at 3:45 for a PB of 19:31

Buzzing headed into 2021 that I’ve beat my years target in a training session without really trying.

Who is starting the running thread 2021?? 😄

Good effort mate. That is what u was aiming for but didn't get there.
 
Not run properly in years but started again and done a dozen or so park runs before lockdown.

Now looking at interesting half marathons to do, so looking for suggestions. Antrim looks scenic, anyone done that or recommend any others abroad?

Obviously will all depend on travel restrictions and events going ahead.
Going to bump this again now people are posting their annual achievements. Any suggestions?
