Got beaten up by the physio yesterday, so feels a lot better now. Spent 80% of my lunch break trying to enter the Balmoral 10k (unsuccessfully).

Cove_Sheep Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Terrific day at Inverness today. A wee bit warm at times, but delighted with my time of 1:41:05 - previous half marathon PB being 1:45:43. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a couple of minutes out of mine but was first half for seven or eight months having been injured for a quite a while. I went off too fast early on and paid the price in the last couple of miles. Was really quite warm at times and I found myself really dehydrated towards the end. I enjoyed it though and was good to be back at that kind of distance. PS - I thought you said it would be flat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart_Aberdeen Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Finished in 2:14:29 which is about 19 minutes slower than last year but I wasn't expecting a good time after the last couple of weeks of barely running. Shin held up fine and there's no pain today so that's a good sign ahead of London. Ended up walking for most of the 10th kilometer which I'll put down to having a bug recently and the fact I'd only ran a maximum of 5km since the middle of February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varies widely between small, local races, and the bigger, commercially run races. e.g. Fraserburgh Half marathon, which is brilliantly run and has an absolutely massive spread put on afterwards is £15. Events like Edinburgh Half, are £31. The 10k my club organise is £8, but the Baker Hughes 10k is £22.

Was looking for a PB so massively disappointed with my time of 1.55.14 and more so with the fact I actually walled twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Parkrun this morning, went with the aim of hitting 21 mins for the first time. Bit windy on the way back to the finish, so a new PB (official time TBC), but just shy of my goal. Will see what the Garioch 10k  brings tomorrow.

Cove_Sheep Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Really tough route at Garioch, possibly the toughest 10k route I think I've done. Another big PB. 45.03 (prev PB 47.08) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny's Yard Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Finally made it under 2.50 for a marathon today. Just.  2.49.43 at Virginia Beach. Horrible wet and windy day, so it was quite a pleasent surprise to be honest. Going to leave the marathon alone for a while now and try to get faster at the shorter distances, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
