Pretty pleased today, did 21km early. Kept the average pace at 5.22 even though it included around 250ft of climbing. Felt very good up to about 18, then hung on a tad. Definitely stronger than I've been in a long time, I haven't run that far in well over 2 decades.

Impressive work!

I'm still struggling with half that distance!

Excellent. Good running

7 miles along the canal. I saw the heron again, which seemed to be staring at the far canal bank,so maybe it is after slowworms after all.

The Heron just isn't quick enough to get the fastworms.

26th June: 680km + 5km = 685km.

Finding it hard at the moment- I have been slacking mainly due to being busy with music stuff.
Fortunately I started the month 150km ahead.
I'll only be 100km ahead by the end of the month.
Time to step it up.

575 +22= 597k. If only I'd stayed out for 3 more kilometres!

I couldn't leave it like that. 3(& a bit)k done as fast as possible between getting home and collecting the kids from daycare. 

600k!

He should get up earlier!

5 miles around the quarry. Still too hot at lunchtime, felt really drained.

Cycling rather than running but I've done about 2500km since January (actually have done more than that, I'm not really counting slower "leisure" cycling I do with my wife). I'm on track for doing >5000km for the year. I need to take advantage of the long evenings though, looking back I see I did over 400 miles last July, which would be good to do again this year.

2 gyms sessions this week plus 5 miler on Monday and 400m repeats today.  Training has begun for next race so glad to be back out running

=832m/1339km

600+ 15= 615 so far. 

Thought I'd ask, do you run in the morning? Afternoon? Or evening? Or is it as & when? 

I prefer to run early in the morning, if it's less than 10k I just wake up have a glass of water & go. I hate running on a full stomach.

I usually run in the afternoon- a couple of hours after lunch.
