Running thread 2021



I am struggling to get out more than once during the week but can run today and tomorrow.

Is it better to do a shorter/faster run today and a long slow run tomorrow? Or vice versa? Or pig all difference?

Bit of a shit week for me outside of running & not felt great, but managed 50 miles which is a good sign for where I want to go. I notice on the SMB runners club a few new names, 50 mile not good enough for a top 3 spot this week!
 
10 miles round Sunderland yesterday (leggings , hoody, hat, neck scarf, gloves) was really nice. Wasn't running to any particular pace. Through hendon, over the town bridge, along to Roker, The beach was rammed so took a detour through fulwel, southwick and over the Alex bridge to millfield, down the backlanes and that, through ashbrooke and home. My lass cycling next to me with supplies.

Lovely day out and the city was looking gritty and full of attitude

Sorry ;) - 71 miles for the week for me back to daily running after my laziness of back end of last year. See how long keep it up this time.
 
I started running from minimal fitness on 1 Jan, running every other day. Set out to do 3k yesterday but felt good so carried on to do 5! Half way to my goal with 1.5 months to go - realistic to get to 10k before then?
Might be too much too soon. As you increase your distance your body will need time to recover. Doing too much too soon might lead to injuries. Took be about 5 or 6 month from being comfortable at 5k to being comfortable at 10k, starting off about this time last year doing park runs by running and walking them.
I'm also inherently a lazy git.
Seafront was heaving yesterday morning, think I'll give it a swerve in future.

Yeah I will definitely make sure I rest more between runs. I'm not bothered about the time it takes, I just want to be able to complete it without stopping.
