    First run in just over 3 weeks today, been a real busy spell at work and confined to sitting doing paperwork and in front of a computer.
    7.7km in the wind and the rain and felt great
    Hoping to push on this time at home

    I’m feeling guilty after a good start in Jan I’ve not run yet in March. Not been feeling it but want to get back into it! I think the clocks changing will help!

    Had a couple of weeks off running with work & other commitments (but still managed Friday footy).

    Did 4km on Sunday - & it seemed harder then I remembered - even at an easier 5’46” pace.

    Did 5km tonight trying to modify my gait to mid-foot strike & the first 3km felt great, even though it was a bit quicker (at average of 5’14”) than my recent pace.

    Last 2km ... not so comfortable... was blowing quite a bit by the end.
    I thought I’d backed off the pace towards the end - but the final km was done in 5’05”.

    I really need to work on my pacing.

    Any tips ?

    That is very heavy mileage for the week before a 21k race (or any race)?

    I had the flu at work and was bed ridden for two days, still not fully over it, but need to ease yourself back in.

    No runs since last weekend, so need to get out again tomorrow. Signed myself up for a 10k in mid-May to give me a bit of a push.

    Me too.
    Am I going to parkrun this morning or am I going to hang around on watch forums for another 15 minutes, after which it will be too late?

    PB at the Rickmansworth Parkrun this morning. However 2nd in age group, so my lowest position this year (and matches last years worst in 36 parkruns)

    Blowing out of my backside on a 5.5km…. Still recovering from flu that started 3 weeks ago…. Takes a lot of you and you soon lose your fitness, but, I’m hoping to recover it equally quickly…

    On the plus side I’m 4 lb’s lighter!

    Went out in the pouring rain this morning for 7.5km, felt pretty good apart from the school boy error of not wearing a base layer and my nips are hanging off 🤣🤣

    Well done all for getting out at all today. It was great weather for the ducks I saw, but wasn’t ideal conditions to run in. Felt a bit flat and ran out for the first half into a stiff headwind. Sodden shoes from splashing through puddle after puddle also saps the energy as they weigh a lot more :). My clothes and shoes weighed pounds more at the end of the run than they did at the start.

    Just glad to get done what I did. And I’ve had several times in the past where I left off my nipple tape and regretted it - so now it’s always on for runs.

    Tomorrow I’m hoping the snow forecast is accurate, as I love running in it.

    Reading Half yesterday 1:47. 4 minutes off PB but cool with that as I have been training for endurance not speed. Took first few KM’s easy and came home fast!

    All I did was log on to the Run Wigan Festival website which was covering the half marathon, and they had links to various level training programmes. I did the beginner level, aiming for 2:20-2:30 time. I tried to follow the mileage build-up without worrying over speed/pace, just needed to complete it comfortably. On race day I did not follow a pacemaker, didn’t want the pressure, just put my earphones in & relaxed into the music.
    I have to amend the above “Strava” time, race chip logged me at 2:17, still under my 2:20 goal and no injuries.

    Have a look at your race route to check for hills, if you only train flat , a race day hill can drain you mentally as well as physically.
    Take it easy, go at your own pace, relax and enjoy.
    Good luck, Daz.

    My wife did the half marathon and offer to bring the pie home for me - I declined.

    If it had been Greenhalghs the answer would have been different!

    Well done to all.

    I ran 12 miles today and couldn’t go much further. I can’t quite believe I’ve got to run that twice and more to get to 26 in September (Berlin).

    Any tips for faster recovery?

    12m with a marathon in September sounds like you are on target, don't try to rush the miles, build up slowly and the length of recovery will shorten over time. Towards the end of my marathon plan I use SIS rego but really there is no substitute for a well balanced diet and a well thought out training plan. Good luck

    Spread the 26 miles over 2 or 3 days maybe Richard?

    There seems to be quite a large intersection here among people who like watches, people from Wigan, runners and people who eat pies..!

    We should organise our own Manchester break-away post-race pies'n'watches GTG for September - Mark, you're on buffet duty!

    Depending on what I’ve done, I might have a decent recovery shake and/or cherry active.

    Have also got some compression clothing that has pockets for ice packs that works well.

    The wife also bought me a compex machine that is really good for recovery.

    Did Wilmslow Half yesterday and it’s been a massive help today

    96th Parkrun today, and still struggling with my pacing. 30 years ago I could do half marathons at 6.15 mins a mile, and not deviate by more than 5 seconds. Today, over the 5k, it was 7.02, 7.24 and 7.44 - and that is where my pacing always seems to end up now!! Really need to sort it out.

    That’s still good running Andrzej - well done.

    Do you think you’d set out a little quick? I have an out and back 4 mile route at home. When I really went for it I got a time I was happy with. A few months the later I set out but took the 2 mile out leg at about 90% and same on the way back. I was 40 secs down at the turnaround, but only 5 secs off my best time by the time I got home - and I felt there was more to give at the end too.

    And in all sincerity, I think you’re going very strong - especially as you’re cycling and running.

    Absolutely right. The trouble is that after Friday off (London Bike Show yesterday -and I bought a Canyon) I just felt so good, it is difficult to slow down, especially with other runners around. Still, easy week this week, ready for the British Duathlon Championships in Bedford next Sunday.

    Haven’t commented here for a while but here’s an update;

    Friend of mine is currently training for the Liverpool HM so I (stupidly IMO) asked if I could join her on some training sessions, so I could up my miles.

    Managed to get up to 2 10k’s to start, completed 7 miles one evening this week and we’re off out for 8 miles tomorrow morning.

    It’s the furthest I’ve ran in about 20 years, but I’m feeling good about it. I honestly didn’t think I had it in me since I started running again last year with the C25K but these longer sessions are working wonders for my shorter runs, I even got a 5k PB on Friday morning!

    Cheers, our training plan goes up to 11m so if I get that far I’ll be happy. I do plan on continuing the longer runs though

    Chaps

    Just a bit of advice please.

    I am going on holiday and will run (Fenix connected to the Garmin App) but I do not want the runs showing in Strava for obvious reasons. It seems easy enough to disconnect Strava in the Garmin Q app, but when I reconnect will it load the runs up, I don’t want to lose the runs on my Strava total.
