Oxford Self-Transcendence Summer Races. The name is longer than the race!
Tonight was the first in a series of three Grand Prix events. And I got a PB! But as Iāve never run a two mile race before it was inevitable! It felt like it was over before it started but was quite fun.
The next is a three mile, then a four mile. The final event is another three mile which is not part of the Grand Prix, but is when the series prize giving will be made.

Well done Red it is sometimes really nice to do something different, the series sounds good. Good luck and keep getting PBs!
Had a weekend at the boat with my cousin and her kids so did a small run on Sunday while they all chilled out. Walked their legs off yesterday theyāre not the most active of family but as we know well we may not enjoy it at the time but they did when they finished that may have been the ice cream.
Less than 2 weeks before Windermere and I must must must focus on diet and get myself back on track Iāve let the good work with Helen slip slightly. Life is just so busy. Looking forward to a rest after this one but may be thinking of doing an ultra in October! Sure after a rest I could manage it.

Good to catch up on everyone and it's encouraging to read some positive reports.
I've not run since Brighton having picked up a virus. I thought it was a chest infection from my coughing and phlegm colour but my chest and everything else is as it should be. I'd like to get out for a run of sorts next weekend and the Sutton 10k is still on. I'd like to enjoy that race although those around me won't want to hear someone coughing persistently for the duration.

Thatās unfortunate Phil. I hope that youāre feeling up to the 10k next weekend.
To put a positive spin on your problem, you might inspire some of your fellow runners to a PB trying to get well away from your coughing š

Hope the preparations go well GG!
Well done ER - a very different medal!
Hope you feel better soon SP
Running still feels hard and tiring and my times are slowing! Iām booked in for a blood test next week for my iron levels. The GP I spoke to today gave me more info on my past iron levels - theyāve been ānormalā since I finished my course of iron tablets about a year ago but she still felt they were a little on the low side of the levels she would prefer (all I got from the other docs were that they were fine). Weāll see what they are next week then...
Hopefully the results will explain things and lead to a fix

I thought this thread had gone to sleep. I was about to break the silence!
I was just getting a bit nearer my previous pace again after returning from injury, when I had a bad intervals session yesterday because of a slight stomach upset which made me feel rather weak. Disappointing, but not surprising.
PenW, I hope you get your iron levels sorted out. My wife had a similar problem but that was caused because she had a life history of heavy loss of blood; she had surgery eventually!
GG, I hope you have a good run at Windermere next W.E.

A bit off a crap run today with a lot of walking. A lot of crap going around in my head today but it was still good to get out in the sun.
If I worked it out right this should have been my view for the 250-mile mark.

Thatās a lovely view Dave.O to help clear your head. Iām very grateful to live where I do just a few hundred metres or so from the countryside.
From my perspective I donāt know whether I would have ever started running if I lived āinā a city.
Pen, letās hope that your GP can diagnose your problem.
Ev, I hope that your stomach upset resolves soon. Itās good that youāre over your injury.
