deecie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Managed a 13km today. 3km further than i`ve ever ran in one go Got myself one of those nike+ watches. Worked much better than any of the garmins i`ve used before, picked up the gps signal straight away. What is this witchcraft you speak of?

scot scotland scottish Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 What is this witchcraft you speak of? Haha! Aye exactly. That is surely some kind of sorcery. Seen myself wait 10 mins sometimes and then said sod it and just went for my run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I've still never got round to doing the Park run. I'll try this weekend. Do you have to do anything other than just turn up and err...run? Register here http://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/form/ print the barcode and take it with you every time you go. You can also order a plastic barcode which is good if you do parkrun a lot.

Armchair Bob Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Haha! Aye exactly. That is surely some kind of sorcery. Seen myself wait 10 mins sometimes and then said sod it and just went for my run Never had any gps problems using free app nike plus on my phone - though need to buy an armband to carry it. Haven't been for a run in ages due to a groin strain. Looking forward to a tentative 5k tomorrow - it has been so long since I did anything it will probably feel like a half marathon.

scot scotland scottish Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Entered a 20 mile race down in Morecambe in late March. A good build up run to the Edinburgh Marathon for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Lasswade 10 for me, a 10 mile road race over a fairly hilly course on 2 March 2015. My favourite race of the year, mainly because of the home baking available to competitors after the race! http://www.lasswade-ac.org.uk/club/?page_id=23 Edited December 10, 2014 by Armchair Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in5omniac Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 got a few booked up so far, a half in York next month, 10k series in York, Hull, Burnley, Lincoln and Leeds, halves in Leeds and Sheffield and marathons in Prague and York. 10k and half marathon at Harewood house in March and Feb tempting me too.

neilser Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just entered the Lumphanan Detox 10k on 2nd January. The triathlete that I occasionally run 5ks with at lunchtimes at work has signed up for that and has been on at me to go for it too. The run up the hill at the start is meant to be fecking brutal...

My favourite race of the year, mainly because of the home baking available to competitors after the race! http://www.lasswade-ac.org.uk/club/?page_id=23 I'm doing that, based on description of the route does sound very hilly. Also signed up for Devilla Forest 15k and Alloa 1/2, then Paris marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Had a really enjoyable 6K organised by the Run4It shop in Aberdeen. They gave us clues and we had to find the Run4It staff based on these. We went round in teams with Santa hats and in our case Santa suits. It was really great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really great fun I did a 6k on Sunday, we were all dressed in Santa suits and last years winner was dressed as a Christmas pud and the idea was for someone to catch up with him (and then be next years pud), was really good fun.

Cove_Sheep Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Chilly return to Aberdeen Parkrun for me today Happy enough with the 25.01 clocked on my watch given the conditions and the fact I've been ill all week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I am intending to do a 5k a day through the holidays. Recovering from injury and the last two have taken me over 30mins to do. Will see where I am by the middle of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see where I am by the middle of January. I'm hoping to do quite a few runs. Got Parkrun on the 25th, the double header Parkrun on the 1st, Lumphanan 10k on the 2nd. Hope to fit in at least one run of over 10 miles too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot scotland scottish Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Planning a few runs over the holidays myself. Currently only 15miles short of 1100 for the year. This is the first year Ive counted my total so more than happy with that. I've seen plenty of people doing 2014 miles in the year 2014 but I'm nowhere near that level and I don't have the time either. 1100 will do me just fine!

McToot Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 1st run in a few weeks. Slowest park run to date. Felt like I was running through treacle. Feeling good for doing it though. Hopefully make it along on 25th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Been hitting December hard. 14th run of the month and up to 784 miles according to Runkeeper and hopefully will get to 800 by Hogmanay. Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with running? Tonight I had a monster of a run, good time, enjoyable, wasn't breathing out of my behind and felt I could have gone for another hour. Yet the day before, managed 25 mins - laboured running and breathing, conditions were great too - no wind, yet ate reasonably well that day as I knew I'd be out later. Hoping to do a few races next year. Still yet to figure out what distance to focus on - my average run seems to be 4.8 miles for the year, and not sure if I'm better at longer distance or 5-10km. I bought a new pair of runners today, New Balance so looking forward to trying them out on Monday or Tuesday. I have a pair of Saucony £25 beasts which are pretty decent for me and wasn't sure if I should stick or twist with a new company. Apologies, just rambling on, but happy running to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
