Lockdown 2021 Run Challenge

Tried this there. I did the 30 fine, but it felt like being on a rocky boat or something. A really unpleasant feeling.

I’ll try them when @Julio_Geordio posts up the relevant tests.

Julio_Geordio · January 15, 2021, 4:24pm

50km @Fran half way.

Brilliant stuff bud.

My foot was hurting yesterday but ok today. I think my body isn’t used to running roads anymore. I went a good block without a niggle, but I think my ankles had got used to trails and mountains. Felt I could roll an ankle here and there without any real ramifications.

Hoping to slip out Sunday to the hills and hopefully push myself over the 50km

I’d only be at a very handy jog on roads, any time I pick up the pace I can feel it in my knees straight away.

Did 12 today with Claire. Freezing fog. Out again tomorrow

Claire Swimming does a bit of running as well? Would she ever consider an auld triathlon?

flattythehurdler · January 15, 2021, 8:36pm

Dunno. I’d say she would. She used bizarrely do synchronised swimming for GB

Loko_Cove · January 16, 2021, 9:36am

On 48km myself. Planning on a 5km and a 10km this weekend.

Any pics?

I’m 42.9km from 11 runs in 2021 so far. Doing a shorter loop some mornings if I’m pushed for time so pulling my average run length down, but could never do more than 5km in any venture in any case. Still plodding away at a slow pace, nearly collapsed when I ran a “fast” 3.5km the other morning. Overall, I need to sort out the diet first to get back to my 5min/km prime. It might never happen.

Thomas_Brady · January 16, 2021, 9:58am

I believe in you.

backinatracksuit · January 16, 2021, 10:05am

Not to be outdone I picked up a handy strava KOM this morning, that’s my lockdown challenge taken care of for January

Mac · January 16, 2021, 10:08am

Fair play. Great pace for it.

flattythehurdler · January 16, 2021, 10:23am

Best I can do without significant threat

flattythehurdler · January 16, 2021, 10:24am

I guarantee you’ll get there mate if you keep at it. 100%.
I’m invested in you.

flattythehurdler · January 16, 2021, 10:27am

Ah here we are in happy times

PhattPike · January 16, 2021, 10:28am

That purple number is marvellous on you.

flattythehurdler · January 16, 2021, 10:30am

Thanks mate. I think so.

Thomas_Brady · January 16, 2021, 10:44am

A short 3k only … Had a lovely flat route picked out as my calf is still a little bit tight… As I got to the entrance to Garryduff woods a few dog walkers stopped me saying there was a man with a knife acting up down the path and not to go in, the guards on the way… I hate not having a route. I then had to go up a few inclines and sure enough the calf got tight so I called it.

17k of 50 done.
