Training Run Times

[jimmym]

Good man JimmY, keep her lit.. there must be some youngwan in the group you can scamper after?!

I’m not doing great myself, time has been against me so I’m not getting out during the week at all. Had a 10km last Sat and Sun, and 11km this Sunday, that’s been about average for the last 4-5 weeks I’d say. Work will remain busy but kids sports end this weekend so it should get the me the bit of time I need to crank up the summer schedule

We have a few new club members who i can fall in with and run at their pace, Going to do some hill repeats once a fortnight now, I agree family stuff etc makes it hard to get out,

Did my third 10k of the year in wet Trier this morning. Small season's best of 41.25. I'm doing no real structured training so can't expect much better really. Had done a tough 8k with a friend last weekend. Was hoping for 41 flat and did ok for 8k but couldn't hold onto a couple I'd run with from about km1, or 2 anyway. They put 20 seconds into me. My young friend Quinn ran 32.45, he was aiming for 32, and he finished 4th to boot so neither of us too happy but both of us fooking drenched. Onwards and upwards, wha'?

Not bad going at all Carmona. Fair dues! Onwards and upwards indeed!

That’s a brilliant time, well done

Did my first interval session in ages yesterday. Made a balls of the last two recoveries where i didn't think I'd be able to jog recover so walked them but I definitely did. Lesson learned on that one. Had 35 min 5k in my head as my first goal. Did 34 flat last week on holiday and took another 15 seconds off it yesterday even with the walk so I'm happy with that. Supposed to recover today but Mrs Sham went drinking on a friend's house last night and left the car so I went to get it. Almost clipped by a BMW driver on a country road too so he got flipped the bird. Nice spike in my HR there I'd say.
