39.55 at Exeter Fast Friday 10k this morning. Lack of training told at 7k and had to take a 30 second walking break... had to put a spurt on at the end to get sub 40 😄
16.5 miles / 1300 ft elevation on lanes and trails today. Tore an ankle ligament 4 weeks ago so been building gently since then, and today was first time felt it was strong enough to hit the trails. Progressing nicely towards a marathon in May
Had my usual slow start to the year but got out with some pals and did 13 in the lanes this morning. Signed up for a marathon in May after vowing not to do anymore last year 😁
Maybe look on the website of some local running clubs. Most of them will have a race diary listing lots of local runs that you won't always find on sites like FindaRace.
4th at Teignmouth Parkrun this morning (20.42). The course is normally on the Prom which is pancake flat and fast but due to storm repair work on the seafront taking place they switched it to the alternate route in a nearby park.. which has 580 foot elevation in a 5k run !
3rd at Teignmouth Parkrun today in the red/black halved away top. Was neck and neck with the leader til halfway point; he kicked on and I couldn't stay with him
Thanks. I still hold out hope of coming 1st one week; have had a distant 2nd and a couple of 3rd places. Reckon the best chances are a cold wet winter parkrun when there's a big local race on the Sunday.
Where is your 10 mile race?
