2000m hit this morning on a sunrise run. A lazy enough 1.4km climb. Stunning though

A smashing way to start the week. Living, not existing.

The house move disrupted my progressā¦ 9 days without a run. Did a 3k in 16.17 and then 1k in shuttle runsā¦ Two trees about 20 meters apartā¦ Out and back on toes, then sprint out and back ā¦ Repeat

Up to 75km there.
If I get out for a short one Thursday or Friday, Iāll give it a rattle on the Sunday trail run to try and make the 100.

Really getting out this lockdown a lot. Up to over 140k this month. However Iām actually getting a few good runs in. Broke 45mins for 10k today. Looked back on the app and it was my quickest 10k since Oct 15.
@caulifloweredneanderthal, what is the charity/good cause this time around?

Thatās great running mate. Iām on 80km for the month (@Fran) so will have to go 4 x 5km to Saturday to complete my 100km. Skipped yesterday, it was fucking Baltic and I just didnāt fancy it.
Next month Iām going to try and get in some longer runs. The knees are at capacity at the moment though I feel, not sure they could handle much more than 5km

Donāt think we set any this time.
Perhaps we could do the February Fastest Five in February. Get everyone to submit their fastest five in the month. Throw in a tenner or something to a charity that we pick.
Make a few categories the lads were talking about.
Senior (anything sub 20)
Senior B (sub 23)
premier intermediate (sub 25)
Intermediate (sub 28)
Junior A (sub 32)
Junior B (sub 35)
Walkers (35+)
Etc
What do ye all think?
Cc the committee

Submitted this proposal weeks ago. 
Premier Intermediate A with an eye on Senior B.

I know that pal. I think it was yourself and @Thomas_Brady who mentioned it?
I was just expanding on it.
What way do you think it should work? Declare your grade in advance?
You have until Sunday? Iām up to 90 now, will finish it out with a run tomorrow and probably Friday.
@Thomas_Brady, I was wondering what the fuck you were up to with your 1km run on Strava and then I remembered the shuttle runs 
Will give the premier intermediate a shot, with one eye on the Intermediate

Following on from this, I would suggest that anybody who did the summer 5km canāt put themselves in a category that is more than 60 or 90 seconds slower than their summer time.
I did around 22ā30 in the summer. While this could make me eligible for the Premier Intermediate grade, Iām going to try myself at Seamus Oā Riain/ Senior B. Lads can be aspirational and put themselves up a few grades if they wish. I have the times from back in the summer.
Register your grade by February 1st.
While it is easier to present a standalone run, the 5km can be part of a longer run, but you need to show evidence that it was a continuous 5km segment (e.g if you run 8km, it is 5km of that in a row, not working out your average pace and putting that to 5km). Data will need to be provided as proof.
Everyone in?
