Running

[Jenny]

Knocked a huge 4 minutes off my best 5k tonight in shite conditions (head wind most of the way). Getting ever closer to that illusive sub 30 minute 5k!

Feel like it has set me up well for Sunday now - very much looking forward to it

Nice one Jennifer.
   
My big race that I have been gearing up for all year is this Saturday. I'm in the Hell Up North Race in Cheshire. I'm crapping myself for this gruelling mofo.

I do miss Rovers though for the first time in a long time, but will try and leg it back. Could do with pay on the gate.

.....and remember folks, Keep on running

How was hell up north? I want to do more that sort of thing after London next year.

Worksop Half for me today knocking another 6 minutes off my PB to finish in 1:43. Would really recommend it to anyone, really enjoyed it.

I have of course just realised your post was today so, good luck for saturday. Let us know how you get on and what it's like!

[Jenny]

I did GSR in 1:45:18 which was a bit of a surprise, I didn't think I had sub 11 minute miles at a constant pace in me to be honest! I think my average pace was around the 10:26 minute miles mark....

My uncle was there cheering me & my auntie on and the look of surprise on his face when I went past him between 5 and 6 miles in under an hour was priceless, and then again on the final stretch with 200m to go.

Pretty chuffed with it, now onto marathon training for Brighton next spring. I originally said I wanted sub 6 hours, hopefully that will be well and truely smashed!

How far is GSR Jenny?, as that is a good time. Well done.

Missed Worksop Halloween Half this year, as I'm geared up for this Saturday. You're right it is a cracking race and I did it last year and got round in about 1:54. I did walk some of it though with real bad stitch. I don't think I can touch your times and those of others on here. I need to set out a regime to improve speed more than anything.

Have a look at this bad boy for this Saturday:

Looks a cracker does that, I'll look out for that next autumn.

GSR is 10 miles CR

Just found out I got in London through my running club! Looking forward to it as I should be pretty fit due to running Disney Marathon in January, then only 14 weeks til London again.

[Jenny]

Yay! Chuffed you got in Dave.

Right you pufta's, jesse's, shandy drinkers and southern types, cop for this chuff.

Just shy of 12 miles
4000 entrants
Uphill climb for a few miles
downhill descents
tracks up to your ankles in mud
lots of steep banks like the side of a house to somehow get up
Cold
hyperthermia when in the water
lots of injuries and people with medics and marshalls
bogs
swamps
quicksand

Seriously guys and gals a great achievement when done, but it's the hardest thing I've ever done and I'm still aching and sore in every bone and muscle in my body. I will prepare better next time......and the best goody bag ever at the finish.

I highly recommend it to tick off on the 'to do list'. Here's some of the highlights

Growing up in Thorne served you well then?
