Join request sent. Need to up my miles next year so this will hopefully provide much needed motivation.
Request sent
send my request, never used Strava, but I have signed up and I have managed to link my elderly Microsoft Band 2 watch to Strava, hopefully it will sync later.
I must admit I do need a bit of motivation over the winter months.
Cheers
Rob
I just joined the TZ-uk cycling club on Strava. I'm a Strava-holic
Just sent request over. Might force me to get backside in gear.

I think I have joined - apparently I already had a Strava account.
Growing everyday which is superb news and any level welcome.
Would anyone else like to be an admin ? I’m happy to do the adds so there’s not a lot to it really

I’m happy to be an admin if you are OK with that? I log into Strava a few times a day normallyOriginally Posted by 100thmonkey
I did think about joining this but prefer to keep my Strava profile locked down as much as possible. I'd encourage all of you to take a look at your privacy settings as, for example with some of the running maps, it mightn't be too difficult to work out where you live. In any case, have fun.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Joined.
Nobody else now needs to worry about being the slowest/crappest (and I won't worry too much about it either).
Joined and then went out mountain biking...
I guess I should join the TZ UK cycling section too unless they're roadies only.
You can set privacy zones based on postcodes on your account with varying radius' (radii?) to avoid letting people know where you live. it's had some teething troubles but seems to work on my account when I view flybys
Another joinee :). Looking forward to running with you all.
did a 5 miler in around 45 mins today.
couldn't be more accurate as my Garmin has packed in.
what running watches are people using (I have a Samsung so Apple watch out)
do any of the fitbits show pace / time / distance?
Yep…. A basic Fitbit (I have the Alta HR) shows pace, distance and heart rate…. All your spilts etc.
ok does it show it on a screen or just when you upload post run?
thanks

Long story but I have unfortunately just applied for and received a place in the Berlin marathon! So now I need to go and buy some running shoes and get some motivation going. Hope my application is accepted!

After years of running the last 18 months have been a bit dormant and I need something to get my mo-jo back.
Don’t expect too much this side of Christmas but 2019 I will get going.
Excellent idea and ta

Blimey - sounds like a good challenge Richard
PS - early Xmas present is in the post to you mate
Just joined, great idea to keep motivated.
No rhyme or reason…. I’ve slept terribly ( I never get insomnia) and feel generally exhausted…. Hauled myself out at lunch, whilst giving myself every reason to not bother, and I ran a seasons best - 5km @ 5.24km pace (a nudge over 27 mins)
Still want to get back to my pre injury 25min pace, but, that’ll take some time…
Feel exhausted again now :-(
Ps…. Who’s this David bloke…. He’s making us all look bad!!!

I must admit i've only been out twice since I joined the group, mostly because yesterday morning I was still a little 'sensitive' from my works night out on Saturday
I'm probably not as competitive or have the pace of other runners in the group but I do try to get out regularly, just to get myself a little fitter - I'll get out in the morning I promise!

treadmill session at lunch today.
40 mins - 5 x 8 min miles = 12 kmh (gradient 1.0)
fairly unpleasant and gym so busy with new year temporary members!
Anyone else had a “follow request “ from Debbie Landry ? I clicked on her profile and the opening comment was “ nice, i’m a doctor and I want sex” with a web link.

Half marathon completed this morning in just under 1 hour 50 minutes - first time above 12k for me in 10 weeks and it was good to find out the legs and mind still has it in them to do a half
did my first park run in a couple of years new one opened near me Fletcher Moss.
21.45
reasonably please but would love to push on and try to get down towards 20
My aim for the year is to be running 5k sub 20min. I’m at 25ish now so we’ll see.
Nice time…. I want to get to 25 min pace and am considering having a stab at a half marathon…. Off to do some research
Congratulations nice time and what a journey in a year ! Hope your legs, hips and feet aren’t too sore tomorrow !

Well done and an excellent time.
Did 5.8km this morning and the struggle was real, legs felt like they had lead balloons tied to them.
Think all the Christmas food and drink caught up with me today.
Thanks - this year has been great
Another 19km and I will have completed 600km since June having never really ran before
I’ve lost 4.5 stone through diet and exercise
Alongside that I’ve managed the times below as PB’s
5k - 21.28 (haven’t tried to PB since August)
10k - 43.34
Half - 1.39.01
Target for next year is to run 1000 miles, do my first marathon and circa 2-4 half marathons
Well done to all those getting out…. Managed a very gentle 5.5km after suffering from a sore back…. Had big plans to do lots of runs, but, wasn’t to be…. Will build it up a little next week!
Back up to 10km today.
That’s probably about 1 mince pie I’ve burned off.

Bumped back up to the top to attract the New Year Resolutioner's.
Back into Mizuno Waveriders again after a 4 year break, I must admit they do seem more cushioned and spongy than the last pair I had!
Completed the 3.55 mile pace race today, went much quicker than my predicted time (24.47 versus 27.25)
Winner predicted 18.15 and ran 18.14 which is incredible and they were also first across the line
Well after a two year break (maybe the odd run here and there) and struggling to get the mojo back, I have decided enough is enough and just back from my first 5k for nearly two years, just over the 30 minutes.
It's the first time running since running a couple of times on the prom in Marbella in August following my wife's trainers and hoping this group will give me the push and incentive I need.
Happy New Years all.

Joined - but more of a walker than a runner - hope that counts!
Likewise! I might try a few short runs, but I’m unlikely to do a lot - at least I’ll try and record it when I do :)
It's just a matter of time...
So long as it gets you off the couch , you`re welcome here.
Did the double parkrun today which was fun! Rounded off 60km of running this week for me which is the most I have ever ran in a week
I doubled as well. Pleased as I set a PB at Canons Park in the first one.
5km on treadmill reasonably quick as main part of gym sesh
day of tomorrow, park run Saturday
I will try to figure out how to join!
Rattled out 5.4km this morning, would of been easy to not to bother as it was snowing and there was a couple of inches on ground as well, stuck to the pavements due to the conditions, legs will feel it tomorrow as it’s my first run in a couple of weeks.
