Did Wolverhampton half marathon this morning. First 5k at 60:30 then changed to 45:30 up to 6.5 miles then down to 30:30 (my favourite ratio) to mile 11. Last 3km were hard so changed to 25:25 just to get them done. Ave pace overall 11.59mm

My lsr was w/u, 2 hours at 3:2 r:w, c/d. Really pleased with 12+ miles at sub-11 minute/mile average.

That’s a really good pace and a sensible use of r/w to how you feel. I’m still out of action but have a plan to add little (and I mean little) bits of running to a short walk. So short that it will take longer to get ready than it will to complete the walk-run. Baby steps. |

Did 10miles - started off run-walk, and then the walk breaks became a bit longer (possibly because there was chatting/photo taking going on). Still, significantly further than anything I've done this year and feel happier with a (deferred) HM later in the month!

You gotta have sympathy for that guy who had the accident. There's plenty of scope to laugh (and I admit I did) but that's not the ideal way to finish a race.

Muttley yes, I felt bad for him when I saw the photo. It must be something every runner dreads!

Some seriously impressive distance run/walkers here! Brilliant efforts lin50, jenHB and OTHT. Good to see that pace progress Night-owl. Hope you're back in action soon XB. Another 5 miles at 20/30 early this morning which keeps me stable but need/want to see progress over the coming months. Not ready yet to increase the ratio.... |

But you're still at it, Steve, that's what matters. Although how you can be up at the crack of dawn to do it is beyond me. I tried early morning running once. It went great and I felt energized and alive for the rest of the, erm, morning -- and then zonked out straight after lunch Mid morning for me, after breakfast and half a dozen cups of tea. 5.5 miles today at 60:30 in a howling gale but pleasant nonetheless. |

Oh, and definitely after attending to the morning constitutional, to avoid what happened to that poor chap above!
