I broke down crying reading this, it evokes, what it means to be alive, something moved inside me

Were you on a park bench when you read it?

Im going to go down to the parkrun and own it, I love letting all the ejjits off at the start, when they run like fuck for a mile and burn themselves out, then running a 6:10 pace for the last mile and a half, passing out hundreds of them, It makes me feel like a big man

I was reading there Jonny Brownlee rant he fastest ever parkrun in England, in around 14 minutes, I bet he felt like a big man after that, an Olympian coming and destroying a field of funrunners

Howd you go @Tassotti? The auld parkruns are great

i felt the auld hammer going so I eased off, 22:16, I have a 20 miler tomorrow. I love the sense of camaraderie and local spirit, I feel something moving inside me when I finish them

My young lad did 23 31 in the 5k this morning. I nearly had to carry him back to the car.
I’m absolutely thrilled.

Beat him good and proper

Many of the lads here use a heart rate monitor when training? Trying to be more scientific in my running training for next year and hoping to build up my aerobic strength. doing a bit slow jogging in Zone 2 at the moment - boring as fuck but hoping it pays off.

I used to use one on the bike but up gave up because the fucker wouldn’t stop beeping when I started to go a bit faster but without being in the red zone.

That was just your settings mate. I use it with bike a bit alright and would always use it when on turbo

Must get back on the turbo now, too cold for the road now.

I’ll be out On the road tomorrow morning hopefully.
