Took it easy to ease my sore ankle back into it.  Uphill hurts.

5 miles at lunchtime. Now that the area is dry, we went over the M5 and down into Almondsbury, a very nice and varied run with a few steep bits.

163+6=169k at slightly better than 10k/hour pace, which is what I'm aiming at for a half marathon later in the year. Now I need to work on endurance.

octatonic

April 25th: 495km + 5km = 500km
Still well ahead of schedule- 100km or so.

How is everyone else getting on?

guitari

Well done.

I should hit 400km by the end of the month, so ahead of schedule  (1000km total)

5.6 miles this evening. Freezing!

Well done on 500km @octatonic doing great

Another 6km to make it 238km so far. Managed to avoid the hail as well, which was nice.

3.5 miles this evening. Managed to dodge the rain! That's final run before Sat/Sun race. Those that are interested in following the race there is a live link at http://www.centurionrunning.com/live I'm number 161.

Race is the Thames Path 100 (miles) or 160km for the metrics.  Needless to say I wont be running much the week after.

Good luck mate.
I think you are totally bonkers but it is seriously impressive.

Seconded. Will certainly look in on you online @mcsdan. ;

Even more impressive is that the record holders for the course managed to maintain a pace of  M 5.16/F 5.58 per km for 161km!! Unbelievable.

mcsdan

thanks guys :-)

I did my first 100 back in October last year. The guy out front looked like he was running a 5k and very fast too. I initially thought he was just somebody out running but he had a number on too and smashed the course record. Very impressed.

Several years running ahead before I get that comfortable with pushing the pace early on.

Best of luck!

5 miles through Bradley Stoke nature reserve at lunchtime. Finally getting back near 25 miles a week, which I'll maintain for 3 or 4 weeks before pushing on.

'CT angiogram pulmonary' tomorrow night then a Respiratory Specialist on Tuesday for me. Just hoping I get the all clear from anything bad so I can finally tell the missus what's been going on and get me trainers on again.

Just ran 8.5k exceeding my current Runkeeper goal to run an 8k

My goal to be able to do 10k by the end of the year is not looking aggressive enough!

Total for the year is now: 91.2k

shugz

123.6 kms for this month. 390.6 kms for 2017 so far.

I won't be running again til May so just posting this up now. Good month, ran my first event type thing which raised a little bit of charity cash. Loved it so signed up for a couple of others longer distance ones later in the year.

Got my first 15k distance as well as 21.1kms today as well. Didn't think I'd get either so really pleased. Not fast nor pretty but great fun and really motivating to crack on with this running lark and try and improve. Massive respect to anyone doing this in a more competitive manner. 

Next month's plans are really just to carry on, maybe just put in a few bigger distance runs and not fall back on 5k's most of the time. We'll see

Onwards! 

Cheers
