God, I wish I was half as fast as you quickies. My 10k best is 57 minutes

That’s still excellent actually

I had to take my foot off the gas a bit in the past few weeks - a) because the weather is getting worse (I know, I'm a chicken) and b) I need to do a bit more for my left calf in terms of strength and stretching. It's been my weak point and started a bit whenever I decided to go faster/harder on less forgiving surfaces.

I've committed to 5km at the very least for every day in December so hopefully that'll get me back on track/get me through Christmas month.

I know we've dipped in and out and never fully committed since COVID, but would anyone be up for properly revitalising the Strava group? It would help me keep accountable in December.

I think I'd be up for that. I had been doing couch to 10k recently but I'm still on "couch."

I will be ignoring the first few posts on this thread as I'm going to be so far off my old times. I'll be happy with sub 30 at the minute for my 5k.

But need to start somewhere.

I’m in the group but what would revitalizing it entail? I don’t know what you can even do with Strava groups

I need to get back on my usual 5kms again now i’ve shaken off the COVID

For the first month we would have arranged weekly or biweekly runs and held each other accountable on here. There was a rough time for people to do it (say, Wed morning 7am), but obviously people were flexible with this.

I probably won’t go for a run at 2 in the morning but who knows for sure

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

I mean of course people could run when it suited them, but I remember there being a lovely supportive vibe that morning when we were sharing our runs on Strava and on here.

I’m running a half marathon Thursday. I’m in the middle of training for my marathon in February, so I think I’m going to use this as an opportunity to try to go my marathon goal pace to see how it feels for half the distance. I’m feeling good about it but I haven’t gotten enough sleep lately, so I’m a little nervous

 

[Suedehead]

Yay

 

[Suedehead]

I did a half last weekend and was v pleased with my time. Contemplating a cheeky full before my April marathon. But I might be asking for trouble

 

[Suedehead]

Got another 10K race this Sunday. Aiming for that sub:50 but I'm having left hip 'niggles' ugh

Is the hip issue from the last half?

Is the hip issue from the last half?

I've had it for quite a few years but I'm used to it now
I mean, my right knee was never the same after my first full marathon
It's just what we have to deal with us as runners

yeah it is definitely my right knee I have the most issues with. I went to physical therapy for it in 2020 and I still do the exercises every day, which really helps. Luckily no hip problems yet, but probably eventually

I did the half today. I completely abandoned my plan of doing my goal marathon pace and raced it. And I got a new personal record! I’m feeling really good about it
