Omg - only 3 weeks to go!
Didn't get out to the country park or even do anything on the treadmill today as had friends arrived with their 4 month old twins!

I guess next weekend we will be going out both days!

That's come around so fast! Aww.....baby cuddles

Home from the season closer and straight onto the treadmill. Just done 5km and Clare is running now!
Seems to be getting harder not easier!

 

[an88fiero]

Did 5k - yay!

 

[TransAmDan]

Yay, well done Clare.

We have only just got back and had a Chinese, now I'm going to do a little write up of today, and make some progress on this Sage issue.

Great to see you guys down this way Glad you managed to catch up with Paul as well.

Must admit - we just felt like sitting down when we got home but Dave was adamant he was going to do 5k - he did it in good time again too

Under 25mins?
5min mile, and with km being under 1 mile, i guess 25mins is possible. although I've never been distance runner, 100m was my area at school. the school wanted me to run for the county as I was the fastest at school, well that and long jump, lol, i cleared the sandpit we were meant to land in. Those were the days.....

 

[AmericanThunder]

5min mile? Yes, possible. But not by me at this stage!

 

[an88fiero]

Ouch 5 min mile - not sure i'd ever make that lol

 

[an88fiero]

Ok stats are as follows as at tonight.

Dave has ran 116.57k in 20.03 hours in the past 40 days
I have ran 39.71k in 7.30 hours in the last 40 days.

 

[TransAmDan]

Wow, that distance is totalling up.
so Dave is running about 8km/h
Clare doing about 5km/h
both impressive.

 

[an88fiero]

Well that was harder than expected.

Yesterday we went to our local country park yesterday which is 2.8k round. I didn't even get half way round before needed to walk. Dave was loathed to leave me on my own so unfortunately I slowed him down however he managed to go round a second time without me.

This morning we went back again and I had an alarm on me so I told Dave to run at his own speed and although we were both very stiff and achey from yesterday's run I managed one complete lap without stopping once - that was my goal and I managed it - I was very pleased with myself. So, next Saturday we have to do at least 1.5 laps and then on Sunday 2 laps. That will be our final practice session as the run is the following Saturday - yikes!!!

 

[sarah]

Well it sounds like your training is going really well!

 

[an88fiero]

Been out for a run this morning. Both managed two laps of the lake at the country park.



Here are my stats.



Dave didn't have his phone on him to record his stats but he managed twice round 10 minutes quicker than me

 

[an88fiero]

Went for a run again this morning. I think we were both a bit too stiff and achey from yesterday as we both only managed one lap. But it was better than not at all

That's it now for me until the actual run next Saturday morning - yikes!!

 

[TransAmDan]

Wow is it that close, 6 more days to go. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[an88fiero]

3 days to go - yikes!

I hope the aches and pains from last weekend go soon

 

[TransAmDan]

Hope the weather stays dry for it too, and warmish. Not long now.

 

[AmericanThunder]

Just have to decide on the next goal - has to be something to aim at.
1/2 marathan in 2015 and a full one in 2016 maybe? :eeek:
