The Running thread

Good work, mate.

Haven't been there since I was a teen.

Cheers lads. It was really nice, started by the church at Normanton, which was all lit up, as was the path. It was 5K out and 5K back. Did it with my daughter and our running club. Bit disconcerting at the 3K mark to be passed by the leaders coming back the other way mind!

Nice one, hope your times are coming together?

Yep everything is going swimmingly thanks mate. An easy run for me is now about a 26-27 minute 5K, and I've got my best 5K time down to just over 23 minutes now. I really enjoyed the 10K, and did it in about 1:02, but I think I could have got down towards the 50 minute mark. We were right at the back, and so the first K and a bit was mainly walking as it was very crowded, it was dark and the path was quite narrow. Also I stayed with my daughter and ran at her pace, and she was struggling a bit after about 6K whereas I felt like I was really holding back and had loads left in the tank.
