The Running Thread Vol 2
Discussion
On the subject of PBs... Thought it would take ages for me to get under 30 for the local parkrun... then I manage to get under 29 minute (I think) outta nowhere 
Was it the weather? (first sunny warmish parkrun since I started doing them at the start of the year, always been cold/wet/snowing/overcast/freezing)
Or that I've just started joining a local running club during the week (who actually jog at my usual 6 min/km pace)?
Or that fact I was wearing my new fancy schmancy running tights for the first time?

I'm currently circa 4 mins off my pb, but I thought I'd try a lil something different today, had an orange and a gel. First three klicks flew by, but got tired into the fourth, and then some f
king crazy hail and wind came from nowhere which lasted until the end...and then stopped for bright sunshine...10 mins after I'd finished.
I knew I'd fked up when the pace guy I wanted started to slip away at 3.5k. I shoulda been behind him instead of going off at the start.

I'm on a pair of trainers that I've had for years. I bought them for the gym about 5 yrs ago.
I'm invisible.
I've got some Nikes that I've had for 7-8 years, they look like crap - covered in a thin layer of muck on them, never been cleaned, bit of the outsole has disintegrated in the middle.I'm invisible.
I've must have walked/ran well over 300km in them over the years. They're still comfy to wear & run in, don't smell and don't get any pains or anything. I should probably be thinking about a new pair though...

Yes, stacked field this year. Hopefully Robbie can do well though.
He did very well - 2nd behind Donnie - I did the southern upland way over a few days with him a few years ago, at one of the o/night camps about half way through he arrived, had a cup of tea and went off for a paper - 12 miles round trip and two river crossings away! Great guy, quietly mad. Ben Jk said:

Went out for a quick run tonight. Took 1:40 off my 5k PB. 26 mins dead. Not too bad considering I still weigh 107 Kg. I had already swum 3.5km this morning as well.
You should be tapering (whatever that actually means!!)I am not tapering. The HM is just for s
ts and giggles really and the main event is the half ironman in July. This week is an RnR week anyway for have done less. My running felt strong and I just wanted to go out and test my self.andy_s said:

Putting the theory of “periodisation” to the test.
