Rosehip wrote: nice :)

Ness wrote: Sounds like a nice walk. Glad you dodged getting wet feet.
Seratonin wrote: Lovely

Ness wrote: Looks like a nice walk
Fenland Flier wrote: About a mile and a half from the car park to the castle along the public footpath on the edge of the seafront. It was quite nice watching sheep grazing but the wind wasn't very pleasant.
Seratonin wrote: :-)
steve45 wrote: I can vouch for walking!

Alice the Camel wrote: Nice!
Seratonin wrote: Bet that it was lovely :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: Pine trees, birch trees and Rhododendrons were a majority of what we saw, we heard birdsong and had the occasional view of the countryside through the tops of lower trees. Wonderful.

Seratonin wrote: Nice 😀
Fenland Flier wrote: Nice weather to cycle to work in.

Ness wrote: Well done 👍
Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Sheesh, thatʻs impressive accuracy of pacing. Well done.

usc215 wrote: nice constant pace 👍
geordiegirl wrote: Nice longer run, 97.3%… great pacing
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks all, it felt great.
Bowman 🇸🇪 wrote: Well done, nice to see you back out there :)
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Bowman, the holiday was great but it was great to get back out running too.
Bowman 🇸🇪 wrote: :) i bet.
3M wrote: Looks good to me!
Seratonin wrote: Consistent splits. It must have felt good to be laying down some solid mileage 😀
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks both. I do have a few miles to catch up with for my target Seratonin.
tipsku wrote: Well done, that's an impressive comeback run
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks tipsku.

Seratonin wrote: Well done. Commuting by bike at that distance takes some dedication 👍
Fenland Flier wrote: I started when diesel was over £2 a litre, it saved me around £80 a month and now the virtual challenge is on the go I've continued in dry weather going to work, rain going home isn't too bad but not when it's cold too.
Seratonin wrote: Keep at it 😀

Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: I can't say following anyone's wet and windy training runs and cycles back in the UK is making me wistful for home right now.
Fenland Flier wrote: Today has been dry and sunny where I am in South Lincolnshire, breezy but not windy.
Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Great to hear. At long last for many, as I understand things. We're on the cusp of lighting the fire here. So nearly but not quite. Still very sunny though, which is nice.
Fenland Flier wrote: Yes it's been a very wet winter and spring. The sunshine always helps.
Seratonin wrote: It's been a lovely day. A bit too hot for exertion so I am waiting for the cool of the evening.
Fenland Flier wrote: I don't have that luxury with working evenings but I do benefit in the winter running in daylight.

Seratonin wrote: 😃

geordiegirl wrote: apart from the .09 looks like a good set of intervals. Well done
Fenland Flier wrote: 🤣 Sorry GG. I start and stop my runs at the end of the road for my warm ups and cool downs.
Bowman 🇸🇪 wrote: Very nice!
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Bowman.
Ness wrote: Very nice
Seratonin wrote: Impressive session 😁
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks both
Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Lovely jubbly
3M wrote: Some impressive turns of speed there!
tipsku wrote: great speed work, well done. In the final reps, you were flying
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks all, they felt good tipsku but I gave the last rep everything I had left that's why I walked the last recovery.
Kelv-12 wrote: Great reps 👏
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Kelv.

Flatlander wrote: I noticed the squiggles at the end to catch up a bit in the bike challenge. :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: Yes, if I have time and the weather is kind I shall add a little here and there.
Seratonin wrote: :-)

Alice the Camel wrote: Annoying! For both!
Fenland Flier wrote: Yes very. I hope you're recovering nicely and not in too much discomfort.
Alice the Camel wrote: Thanks FF, not too bad. Must be patient though!

Flatlander wrote: Did you see any good sights on your way home? :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: Unfortunately not. Certainly no moving lights in the sky. Lots of light on the horizon but I assumed it was light pollution and I was mostly on lit roads which didn't help.
Flatlander wrote: Shame, the aurora was very strong and easily visible by the naked eye.
Fenland Flier wrote: :-(
Seratonin wrote: Saw some lovely photos on twitter of the aurora over Dartmoor last night
Fenland Flier wrote: We've seen lots of photos this morning, we're quite miffed at not seeing it ourselves.

Seratonin wrote: Speedy :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: It didn't feel it, I thought I was taking my time but the lack of wind helps a lot.

Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Another beautifully paced run.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Mark, you're up late.
Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Not really, 10:15. Weʻre currently 11 hours ahead. Just finishing a cuppa and then heading to bed.
Ness wrote: Nice one
Fenland Flier wrote: Ah, fair enough, sleep well Mark. Thanks Ness.
geordiegirl wrote: Nice running. Your pacing really is spot on.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks GG.
Seratonin wrote: Nice consistent pacing :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Seratonin.
3M wrote: A warm one! Well done.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks 3M

Seratonin wrote: 😄

Seratonin wrote: Nice going. BTW your elevation graph reminds me of a video I used to play (Defender) :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: :-)

Seratonin wrote: Impressive given how much mileage you get in a half hour ride.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks, I allow myself around 5 minute miles. When it's headwind more like 6 minute miles but that is hard work. I just don't like leaving home too early for work 🤣
Seratonin wrote: 😄

3M wrote: Excellent nice and steady long run.
usc215 wrote: Do you have cruise control? :)
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks 3M and usc215 no I don't but the pacing isn't too bad is it.
Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Lovely pacing and run again
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Mark.
Alice the Camel wrote: Wow! Nice one.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Alice.
Ness wrote: Well done
usc215 wrote: your pacing is awesome!
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Ness. It's not always like that usc215.
usc215 wrote: logical... but sometimes you outdo yourself :)
Fenland Flier wrote: :-)
Seratonin wrote: Well done 👍

Flatlander wrote: Hope the headwind wasn't too bad, it's picked up quite a bit since this morning. At least it should be a nice tailwind going home. Hope you get home before the rain arrives.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Flatlander, the wind certainly has picked up a lot, hopefully I should be home before the rain arrives.

3M wrote: I assumed this was just the cool-down!
Fenland Flier wrote: I had done more miles than intended and I was later home than intended too so this was faster than the main run. My wife also rang me to check I was ok because I was late home.
3M wrote: Yep - I looked at your runs in the wrong order!
Fenland Flier wrote: :-)

Ness wrote: Great pacing! Well done. 👏
Alice the Camel wrote: Super 👍
Bowman 🇸🇪 wrote: Errand running at its best, well done! :)
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Ness. I didn't expect that today tbh as there was some off road running involved.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Alice and Bowman.
3M wrote: Ah, hopefully they had them in stock. It'll make the seat a lot less alarming, I hope! ;) Impressive pacing again.
Mark J 🇳🇿 wrote: Mate, you're on a roll with your pacing again.
Flatlander wrote: Multi tasking run. :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: 2 new spare bolts sorted 3M. Thanks both, I really have no idea how the pacing has happened like this. Not too long ago I was in awe of the metronome running of some folks and now here I am doing it myself somehow 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
Flatlander wrote: It can take a long time to know one's body to that degree, and then it becomes natural.
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Flatlander.
Seratonin wrote: Nice straight lines :-)
