That’s lovely

caulifloweredneanderthal · January 17, 2021, 1:20pm

There’s much nicer, even on the same loop I did today.

Those two pics were from new spots I hadn’t linked up before

flattythehurdler · January 17, 2021, 1:20pm

I ran iirc 20.05 but it damn near killed me.

flattythehurdler · January 17, 2021, 1:21pm

Well that looks fantastic. If that was tanland you wouldn’t be able to move on it for walkers.

EstebanSexface · January 17, 2021, 1:22pm

Excuse my ignorance but would that be considered elite?

georgeorwell · January 17, 2021, 1:24pm

He is only kidding you dumb fuck.

An elite marathon runner will do 8 and a half 15 minute 5ks back to back

@fenwaypark would be considered a very fast social runner, I hope he doesn’t mind me saying

A very very fast social runner.
There’s lad in the Tri club (three lads actually) who can go sub 32 10k in a triathlon.
I could train for twenty years and not get near 17.05

Who was with you that day?

fenwaypark · January 17, 2021, 1:38pm

Not at all.

fenwaypark · January 17, 2021, 1:38pm

Nah.

fenwaypark · January 17, 2021, 1:40pm

And just for good measure

PhattPike · January 17, 2021, 1:43pm

@Wexford1996 went sub 18 mins for one of the 5km challenges on here last year I’m sure.

EstebanSexface · January 17, 2021, 1:44pm

This aged well

the_man_himself · January 17, 2021, 2:26pm

Were you always a runner or other sports as well? That’s unbelievable running

Thomas_Brady · January 17, 2021, 2:30pm

Up your bollix @georgeorwell… Welcome to the big leagues.

Thomas_Brady · January 17, 2021, 2:31pm

It would make you ill just thinking about it. Tho I reckon I’ll go close to it by March.

flattythehurdler · January 17, 2021, 2:39pm

Out with Naomi today cc @Locke
She half killed me.
This is hers.
You can ignore the temp. It was cold at the bottom and a fcuking freezing gale at the tops.

georgeorwell · January 17, 2021, 2:43pm

Fuck I’m rumbled. I thought I was doing well running just under a 21 min 5km. But I am carrying about 14 stone and I don’t have any scope for really losing any more. I think I could get it down to 20:30 at a serious push. Any tips for improving times @fenwaypark. I hit a serious flat spot at around 2k for about a km and can finish well.

flattythehurdler · January 17, 2021, 2:45pm

Any really fast lad I know is about 11 stone wet through.
Sub 21 is fast. I’d not worry. I think you need to be a natural runner to stay below 20.
