David says "dick"

Jealousy gets you no where.

Very similar to me although not as quick as you.

PB’s for me

5K - 19:37
10K - 39:55
HM - 1:32

Very pleased with this year. Aiming for a sub 1:30 HM and to finish a marathon next year. Unsure of a target time for that yet.

Rule of thumb is, double your half time and add ten minutes. Aim for sub 3:10. 3:15 at the most.

I fancy a track one too, usually a few in the summer on those midweek meets at monkton or Gateshead.

Anyone after a Garmin, a couple canny deals on Amazon today.

No idea, but the strollers beginners starts in January. I know you're a reet miserable fucker, but running with people helps imo.

Got an appointment with the cardiac rehab team and they are going to give me advice on getting back on the road. They were really helpful on the phone.
As my problems first came to light when I was running, all my medical documentation describes me as a 'long distance runner'. Finding it hard to explain that I'm just a bit of a plodder, not Forrest Gump.

Everyone appears to be a long distance runner if you don't run. Hope you get sorted.

Pretty much my dream times them- the sub 20 5k seems impossible - managed 20.47

Join NEMAA. Plenty of meets in the summer season & I think there some indoor meets in the winter as well.

If you cover the distance you're a distance runner.

Dalton Park 10k has been cancelled today.

Went arse over tit on my long run this morning. It’s a miracle I didn’t knock myself out

I know he looks ancient but he’s not quite old enough

I walked to the car ready for dalton park and almost did the same. Decided that I would use the treadmill today instead.

Bloody annoying. They posted on Facebook at 8 that it was on so I set off, then, by the time I got there they'd emailed to say it was off.

Wouldn't have a clue what he looks like tbh I only know a couple of Strollers.

Always the risk of that. They're a bit useless like.

Everyone seems to know me!

We've probably been to enough of the same races that I'd recognise you if someone told me but I've never had the chance to put the name & face together.

Tall, beardy, good looking, Sunderland stroller.

That's it mate. That'll have him off the scent.

First runs back after a 3 month lay off. Irritating as fuck how much speed and stamina you lose so quickly. Feels like I'm miles away from getting close to a sub 20 5k now.

Left foot completely fucked after GNR. Tried to wait it out but eventually went to physio and only now pretty much back to normal. 2 months of it feeling like someone had ran over it with a car.
