Good work Brilly
I had an awful run today couldn't do 1.5k without stopping which considering I ran 10 miles the other day is a little frustrating.

I didn't run either - trying to prepare the cycling legs for the St Georges Sportive next Sunday starting in Princes Risborough. I have a feeling that a couple of people from here did this one last year.

Is that simply old git, or really old git? I did the Reigate one (mid route, 62 miles) and figured that 3h30 would earn me gold - which it did. But all you get is the knowledge of knowing what you did, no fanfare, no ceremony, no medal, you just gather around the PC screen at the end and find your name on there, plus results are published a few weeks later.

Started some interval training yesterday. Just set the bench Mark. Had to run as hard as possible for 30 minutes and based on the distance achieved I would get my interval plan. Managed 6.3 km in 30 mins which if I am honest was a little disappointed with.

I have no doubt that you are right skinflint. Might try a 5k starting slower and speeding up. Want to get below 20 mins this year.

Parkrun last Saturday completed 4secs behind PB. Still, I managed not to trip over anything this time!!! Hopefully a tad quicker this weekend? Looking forward to taking the coupe back into the Forest.

To revive this one, I ran a multi-terrain 5.7k last week - doesn't sound too bad but they banned iPods which turned it into 42 minutes of pain and exhaustion , however safely back in the cocoon of the iPod this morning I got a new 20:45 PB at the Parkrun This time I Lance Armstronged myself with a gel called Vooma Energy. Lovely Mocha flavour.

Forgot to update this thread. I did a personal best at Silverstone the other week over 10k with a chip time of 46:34. Very happy with that, just got to get closer to 40:00 now. Results can be seen here: http://www.silsonjoggers.org.uk/runningraces/silverstone10k/Whether you are a runner or not a good chance to see the whole circuit as you literally run around the track starting on the old pit straight and finishing in the old pit lane. Excellent experience which I shall do again next year. Contemplating the Nurburgring run in septembre as well.

It was very well organised and going to enter again next year. Got a bench mark to work against then.

Been a bit slacking on the fitness recently but have started rugby training to help keep up the numbers at my local club and have had a couple of local jogs. An early(ish) morning Parkrun in the Forest of Dean today, which gave me the excuse to get the Coupe out and go for lovely 20 minute drive through some beautiful roads near Speech House etc. I ran my 5k in 27.49's which is about a minute off my pb for the course, but quite happy as I hadn't done the Parkrun for a couple of months! Also managed to stay on my feet, after one scare, tripping over a tree root. Double checked the oil when I got back, and all ok!

Hi Skinflint Yes I am still trying to run at least 5k every week with the occasional Park run. Not much improvement of late, but definitely feel good for getting out there! How's it going withy you?

That's good. A regular 5k is about the best running exercise you can get. I've been trying to prepare for the Highclere 10k after months of almost no running. I did a 49:56 gun time last year and hope to beat it if I can get back into condition. Less than 2 weeks to go and I can hardly walk.

My better half has decided to run a half marathon and although a regular runner of about 3 miles she has started to suffer from shin splints after increasing her distance to 6 miles (3 times a week).I wondered if anyone has a few tips on how to recover and more importantly how to reduce the chance of getting them again. I would point out that she has been fitted for running shoes at the Sweat shop in Wndsor and runs on pavement. Thanks in advance.
