After having decided I wasn’t doing the Yorkshire 10 mile race in York on 15th October I have now gone and entered it 😃

Main reason for not entering it was because I thought I would be nowhere near my time last year but having actually looked at my recent training I’m doing a lot better than I thought was.

Plus the start is about 2 miles from my house so easy to get to. So could I be reinstated please Serendippily 🙂

It feels like I’m tempting fate by publicly declaring this, but here goes.

Put me down for Run to the Sea Bournemouth 14th October please Serendippily

Idris, nearly there now. :)

Frag, that sounds great - will you be with friends for the event?

I went to club at lunchtime today. It was the 1 mile race and after the handicap was applied I came 3rd. :)

Well done AR!

No, I feel that doing a long race with someone else wouldn’t give me the freedom to run at the pace I want to.

Well done AR. :-)

Track was great tonight, 10x2 mins with 1 min recovery. Managed to hit all my reps at target pace. :-)

Idris, I was really tempted by the 10 miler but have got quite a few races booked in so decided to not do any more races for a while. Was so tempting though.

I’ve done it the past couple of years getting (slightly quicker) last year so am hoping to again. The fact I can walk to the start line is a very good point in its favour (the hill at the end isn’t but is OK!)

Welcome to this year’s 700 thread: 700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient. Training goals: Don’t cry, don’t die

Reach 700 miles and we’ll heap you with bunting with extra points for bins. And if you go under or over 700 miles, noone will mind.

700+ Overachievers: well done and please reset your target so everyone gets a spot in the sun heart Tag me to add an event of any type to the list below where a thread cheer would help
