Paced a friend round a 50K yesterday, he's in training for Race to the Castle, feel surprisingly good today and feel could do a 50 miler at the 10-11 minute pace were doing.

But thats my "challenges" done these first few months instead of a April race, few weeks till marathon training kicks in for York in October. Hoping have a decent base and can kick on for a PB in October.

Have also started leaving resistance bands in the kitchen and doing some squats when go in to boil the kettle etc as I never do strength work and this at least gets me going a bit.

Is he from shields? There’s a lad in my street doing that race.

Did my longest run ever yesterday I think, an impromptu 15km or so. Felt fine apart from nearly ripping my nipples off, had to run the last 5 with no shirt.

Hardmoors 110 starts today I think? That looks like a laugh.

I use extra sticky kinesio tape that I've cut up into nipple sized patches. I haven't had one come off yet & they even stay on through the post run shower if I forget to take them off.

Yep, new PB of 1:34.40! Pretty well managed, course was fairly kind bar a couple naughty hills, was good to get on the athletic track as well.

Well done marra. My time was a little off that . Impressed with organisation and route. The last hill was a bit cheeky. In the Schooner now.

Marathon done, slower than I wanted but just took my lead from my mate. He’s doing 80 miles in two days soon so treat it like a training run for that. Was enjoyable, barely sore today.

Lad from my club won it, his support runners were all ES monsters, tons of experience, he looked canny fresh at the end!

Did the route of the Penshaw Half on Saturday morning, lovely but brutal at the same time. Least I know what to expect in a few weeks.
Only 2nd time I've done half marathon distance too, 1st being about 15yr ago for the GNR

Got a pb yesterday at the Gateshead Half Marathon 1h:42m. A really nice course that isn't too difficult but offered some challenges with a few steep hills.

My goal this year is to complete a full marathon in under 4 hours, which I was meant to do last year but couldn't due to lockdown.

 

[MagicRat]

Laboured round another 10k at the sports village in Acklam today; 34:15. 30 secs slower than last month, hopefully just the heat.

Didn’t affect the winner though. . fastest road 10k by a female this year apparently

I'm a shirtless runnerist now. Been in Vancouver too long.

Dinnar what that means, but what's the point in support runners? Not into that like.

He hadn’t run a race over that distance before so various Elvet Striders helped him out, there are rules around it though, you aren’t allowed to tuck in behind them etc.
