I blogged my race plan a few days ago: 5 k at 5’30″ / km pace, 3k at 5’20″ pace, 1k at 5’20″ or faster and then a hard final kilometre. I had two aims: the pre-announced 55-minute plan and the secret take-your-5k-time-and-double-it plan. My Garmin was set to pace me to a 55-minute finish [...]

I’m not entirely looking forward to this coming week. I’m supposed to be tapering in preparation for the Mad Dog 10K a week on Sunday for which I’ve set myself a target of 55 minutes using the highly scientific method of ‘take your 5K time, double it and then add a bit’. I rather fear [...]

Stiff

You may recall that I was nervous of this race. It’s January. A month which I could quite happily spend in bed. I signed up for this just after the Preston 10 Miler in mid-November having discovered that 10 miles is enormously achievable with the sort of training levels that can be squeezed between taking [...]

This morning’s Parkrun was my slowest ever. I achieved an age-graded score of 35.42% just behind a first timer who achieved 45.98%. The course was in places a little crunchy underfoot. I wanted to be in bed still and was probably over the drink drive limit still after last night’s work-related festivities at the Living [...]

Preston 10 Miler

Apologies to anyone who was looking for my ARF in Hutton at 1140 this morning. It appeared a little over two minutes earlier. Race plan was simple: run negative splits, paced by my Garmin, for the first 9.5 miles. Then let rip. The race started with a minute’s silence in memory of John Rayton which could, in [...]

FAB Fetch Mile

I’ve had a cold pretty much all week, have had aching muscles, a sore throat, you name it. So, sorry Fetchies, if you feel ill in the next few days, blame Astrakhangentry as I got it from her. We picked up Hamsterboy and Zoom after some fun trying to give them directions from wherever they [...]

Third parkrun

We’re away, staying with my parents for the weekend, so Preston Parkrun (which, bearing in mind the flooding up there, I’m amazed to discover took place with nary a nalteration to the route) was out of the question today. Fortunately, Walsall Parkrun is only fifteen minutes drive away and I managed to persuade my favourite [...]

Second parkrun

We’ve been decorating Small’s bedroom while she’s away on her holidays so I’ve been keeping to my MiCoach training plan religiously (i.e. mostly when it fits in around everything else but definitely on Sundays.) Astrakhangentry and I ran with the Sweatshop Running Community on Wednesday. She had set herself a target of completing 5km in [...]

First ParkRun

Category: Parkrun | Leave a Comment | Trackback

(This post was first published on FetchEveryone.) When I heard that a Preston ParkRun was to start, I was delighted. I had intended last week to take part in the inaugural run but, due to an alarm clock issue, I only woke up at almost the exact time when it was due to start. I [...]
