QECP sprint sessions on Sat lunchtime, then QECP Portsmouth Joggers “Chilly Hilly” on Sun, it’s only 10k so me and a couple of others did two laps.
Feeling a bit knackered today 🙂
Didn’t do my parkrun on Saturday so went out for a hilly (ish) 5.3km last night. Been climbing railway cuttings all day and my legs feel like lead :(. Hopeful yoga class tonight will loosen me up for a decent run tomorrow. Think I need to stretch out and push up to 6/7 km once a week now.
Woke up at 4 this morning with a sore throat, tossed and turned til 5, bugger it, only 11.5km to do to complete my January 100 miler, so went out and did it. I'm not a morning runner, even less so with a cold, but it's done now, way way more than ive ever contemplated running in a month, Mrs Nobeer did 75 miles, ditto her, really proud of her!.
February 100 starts in 2 days mind..... 😊
Did a rub from Yeadon up to Otley Chevin yesterday. Might as well make the most of being somewhere not flat for a change!

That's a long rub!
So I've signed up for a half marathon in the middle of march which will be my first and gives me 6 weeks to get sorted. I'm currently running 3/4 times a week; 5k's and a 10k which last week I snuck upto 12 and this week will aim for 14 for the bigger run and increase one of the smaller ones by 1.5.
Plan is next week do 2 x 6.5, 1 x 5 and 1 x 14
Week 3 3 x 6.5, 1 x 16
Week 4 3 x 6.5, 1 x 16
Week 5 3 x 6.5, 1 x 18
Week 6 3 x 5 and then race day.
How does that look to people?
A lot, I’d cut out one of the 6.5’s and only do 2 a week.
Try and stay injury free and you should be fine.
Is this road running?
Yes, its a road run.
So if I go with 2 x 6.5's and then a bigger one increasing in distance every two weeks should be ok.
Plan is to have two yoga sessions each week too.
I can get separate apps, but is there an app that can do a 0-100 sit ups and press ups and...?
@stayhigh - did my second PiYo session last night, I'm sooooo inflexible, and I can feel it works bits of me that haven't worked out that way in years...
The one odd moment was doing raised hip thrusts and holds. I just wanted to shout 'schwiiiing'
So can't seem to edit post for whatever reason?
FWIW I added side bends and planks into the mix after every two different exercises.
I never made it to 100 press ups but it evolved into a solid 30-45 minute routine. Should have kept it up really lol
I reckon thats fine, I'm more concerned you'll over do it on the run upto it.. (but i don't know you're ability nor age/motivation, you may be fine on that schedule because you put it together so you'll know how your body reacts and such)
Watch for the hips and lower back, if they start hurting lay off a bit more and keep a bit in reserve then just run through the race on the day.. then recover well..
Enjoy it, let us know how you get on.
Need to run again, can't get motivated...
So far this year I have run 0km
By 31st Jan i'd clocked 60km in 2017....
Bah! Just can't get my head into it..
@stayhigh - what are you doing with your 6.5K runs? The distance is fine, but just heading out for a 6.5K run 3 times a week is not the best way to spend your time... I'd be looking at, say, a gentle 5K run on Monday to loosen up after the weekend, then do a decent interval session on Wednesday (eg 2K warm up / 3x2000m race pace / 2K cool down), then a 5K tempo run on Friday. Same overall distance, but mix it up a bit with a bit of speedwork.
After flu a couple of weeks ago resulting in a complete week off, last weeks running was terrible, frequent horrific coughing fits and generally going slowly despite decent effort levels.
Last night I did a 1 minute hard, 2 minute easy session on the way home from work and felt like form was returning 🙂
Need some decent fitness to justify the Vaporfly 4% shoes I've just spent silly amounts of money on 😀
Cheers, Rich
This time last year I started running again.
Slowly but surely I managed 2,3k then in mid February started going to parkrun most weeks.
Yesterday I passed the 209k mark for January and so far have run 27 days in the month including 2 run of 18k.
Quite happy with that.
Said I wouldn't run last night but ended up going for a 4km loop up over my local hill. Croham Hurst for the south Londoners. So much more fun running on trails but the climb up was painful. Long long way to go I think! Think to tonight's going to involve yoga and a foam roller which I'm dreading.
stayhigh, I wouldn't suggest cutting down on that, it looks pretty reasonable to me. I agree with mogrim about mixing up the speeds in the 3 shorter runs (and/or maybe do a 5km threshold piece in the middle of the long run - if you have local parkrun you can jog to/from this is a popular option). Don't overdo the speed work though, most of the total distance should be steady running for sure.
Late joiner to this thread. Picking running mileage back up after a poor year last year (badly sleeping baby kills motivation). I'm signed up the the Southampton half in April. Really, really want to get under 1.30 this year (managed 1.32.40 last year) however suspect that will more realistically be a target for the New Forest half after the summer.
Currently trying to get three runs a week in;
1 long run (9 miles Sunday just gone) @ 9mm pace. Will increase the distance on this one till moving for 1.30 - 2 hours
Park run + short warmup/down there and back. Using this as a tempo run.
One lunch run, the one I'm just back from managed 6.7m in the available time. Going to try an sneak this out to 7m and then do warmup @ 8mm, fast middle <7mm, and then warm down.
58.7 miles this month which I'm quite happy with.
After borking my knee at the county cx champs, I struggled to walk up stairs. A load of people at my running club recommended a local sports therapist (the wife of a club member) - she had a good look at my knee/stance/movement - did some kind of mad painful massage and got me walking pain free straight away. I tried some gentle running a couple of days later but could still feel the pain in my knee (although much, much less severe). I gave her a call to ask her advice, saw her again - more knee massage (something technical was stuck to something else medical sounding!), she freed my IT band (I'm glad I didn't know in advance how much THAT was going to hurt) - and a couple of days later I'm running again - there's some slight discomfort - but it;s not getting worse - and she's banned me from running faster than 8:30s until there is no discomfort. So it's not pretty, it's not very fast; but it IS running - finally...
It’s really great to hear folks getting back into it or starting out, great thread 💥
Well, made it to 70k for January. I’m having a bit of a bromance with a guy down the road so we’ve got a regular thing of Tuesdays and Thursdays up and out at 0515 for 45ish minute interval sessions which this week have become bit more intense - not so much recovery time walking. Then we do our own thing at weekends. Normally Parkrun for me - he does longer distances. The interval runs have been awesome though - absolutely love them and it’s great to be able to go out and do them early in the morning with somebody else. Funny how we’re full of chat at the beginning and have nothing to say for the last ten minutes or so. 😀
Swore I wasn’t going to do anything “long” this year but definitely feeling the call of 10ks and once you start doing those...
Am managing to stay under 25 mins for Ashton Court Parkrun which is pretty much run up 35ish flights of stairs over 2.5k then turn around and run back down. Am managing Km1 but Km2 bollixes up my time - it’s taking 6 flipping minutes. Guess I need to do some more hill-work. My AC pb was roundabout 23 mins so I have a way to go.
Running is awesome.
No place in the Jura fell race for me. Built a winter training and seasons worth of racing round it and no place. Gutted.
How do I add my runs to the Strava group?
managed 100k for the month, need to do at least 50% more this month, and 100% more in March...
204k for the month for me. I'm going to try to maintain that for February. Can anyone recommend any decent trail/fell events up to half mara distance? I'm in Manchester, so anything a couple of hours from here.

How do I add my runs to the Strava group?"
Just join the group - then your public runs are added. Not runs that are private.
I went out for a test run last night to see if the interval sessions I have been doing and other longer runs are helping my sub 20min 5k target.
Put in a nice warm up and pressed lap on the Garmin to start the laps as I got to the start of a long flat stretch of pavement along the local seafront. I was over the moon when the first mile came in at 6.35min mile and didn't feel that tough, 2nd mile much of the same for the first half, in my mind I was thinking if I can do another 6.35 I know I could empty the tank for the last 1.1 and sneak under 20mins here. Then bang, turned around at the end of the seafront and a 20MPH (weather app given speed) headwind slowed me down to 7min miles. Dug in managing to save the average as 6.50min mile and then hit the abort button and trundled home battling the wind.
For some reason the joy of thinking I could do it, to then be so cruelly stolen from me really bummed me out for an hour or so afterwards! Now I've slept on it I feel fine and manged to chuck in some strong intervals in my lunch break today on the treadmill.
But running, what a cruel mistress!
Brilliant oikeith, good pace that! That's now my target for this year, a sub 20 too, I'd love to do a sub 40 10k but that'll be tough for me. I'm at 22.56 now, so a fair way to go...
On another point, anyone noticed if the running fitness is noticeable on the bike? I've hardly ridden at all for the last 3 months, only a couple of local socials with my wife, but I'm hoping that when I get the mojo back (to be fair, it's the first time I've ever lost it in 15 years of MTBing) between the amount of running I've done, and the weight loss too, I should be lots quicker on the bike. Not just climbing, but I reckon losing a couple of stone should help with the steep slippy stuff too.
No question that running can keep you pretty fit for cycling. Similarly cycling works as a useful alternative to running if that's the way round you want to think about it. I tend to run more over the winter and cycle more over the summer and find the switch-over to be pretty straightforward. But you won't be a good cyclist on running alone, and you won't be a good runner from just cycling.
Running has definitely helped my cycling, no question at all. I can go harder for longer, feel fitter and my climbing particularly has really improved.
I'm not sure it translates so well the other way given i was cycling fit before I started running and it took my a good amount of time to get any kind of running form.
Brilliant oikeith, good pace that! That’s now my target for this year, a sub 20 too, I’d love to do a sub 40 10k but that’ll be tough for me. I’m at 22.56 now, so a fair way to go
Thanks! I think the intervals have really helped run faster for longer with less effort, give em a go if you're not and see if it helps you.
Today's journey into running was titled 'The Sloan Regime', in honour of a much missed colleague who is GB Masters Triathlete, who left us all a note on the wall with some interval training on when she left...
Oh. My. Word. that is hard work.
Jog 1km to warm up, 150m sprints flat out, followed by walking at pace back to start and go again...eight times. EIGHT people. Jog 1km back to warm down.
I have already messaged Ms Sloan to say what I think of her 'workout'....
When you're really pushed for time, try the tabata protocol - 20 sec sprint and 10 sec rest (turnaround), 8 times. 4 mins and you're done. In more ways than one!
"The Sloan Regime" calls for that in a few weeks...
R4 More or Less, on now........ which is the hardest parkrun in the UK
Done something to my leg/hip. Hurts to stand on it if I’ve been sat down for a while.
No running for me 😫
Any plans for the weekend ?
I'm doing a partial loop of the Nidderdale loop (the MTB route) I'll be the nob getting in your way... Starting out of Pateley Bridge heading norf and up the "Wath" planned to be a good four hour hack.. looking forward to it being in the moors again, hope the weather holds out.
Hoping to squeeze in 10k on both Saturday and Sunday, as time conspired against me today.
Something I've discovered recently: I've gone through a lot of injuries in my short running career (3 years or so), which has [more recently] stopped me putting together a regular programme. However, recently I've made the conscious decision to take each run a little slower i.e. not absolutely beasting myself every time I go out. I have found this has made the world of difference when it comes to staving off injuries.
In terms of times, I'm up to 22:30/22.45 minute 5k, compared to the sub 21m 5k I was doing before, but hopefully that will come down again if I can continue the consistency.
This past week I've done 3 runs: 8km, 6.5km and 6km, and feeling good on it, with nothing more than a few aches. All three quite intervally, due to the hilly nature of where I live.
Parkrun rollcall anyone?
Off I trotted up that bloody hill again in Brizzle-Brizzle this morning. Km2 still busting my ass, aiming for top100, keeping below 25 mins. Felt faster this week than last (113th and 24:59 🙂 ) but as I'm using phone on armband, I'll wait for official results.
Good work, DD - I’m still in bed 😂
well, experiment proved, I run better fasted, felt bloated and slow today (although stats reveal not by much).
rotten weather here in West Yorks, kudos for those going out in it.
Light snow ⛄️ n R’ogte so expecting more up Pateley way 🤔
Might do an Almscliff Crag loop instead today..
How are people on here fueling their long runs?
Currently running up to 22miles, 30 miler due in 6 weeks.
I find my legs fall off after about 13-15 miles if I run on just water. I'm not fast (3hours for 20miles) but don't want to walk/run, or stop to fuel.
Energy drinks?
Gels - I am happy with isotonic gels, but one every 30mins for 5 hours means carrying 10... and using several gels every long training run seems a bit over the top.
Never tried or seen the need for salt tabs.
Do I just chuck some custard creams in my pockets?
The 30miler is 3 loops, so I can stash replacement bottles with gels for each lap, but the plan is a 60+miler later where that won't be an option...
Any sugggestions?
You may not like my reply and I am a bit "old school" but are you training for ultras? also what does the rest of your week look like, mileage wise?
With the greatest respect unless you are running large volumes through the week I would suggest doing shorter but faster runs on Sunday until the longer runs get shorter in terms of time. Being on your feet for so long is hard work. I only ever ran 1 marathon and my longest run was only circa 12 miles off a 50-60 mile week. I covered the distance quite easily and my last 10 miles (58 mins) was my fastest 10 split. so I am not a great believer in mega long runs. Certainly not ones that take so long to complete.
I use gels, but only if 20k + other than that isotonic drinks from zipfit..
Haven't done anywhere near a 60k all in one go just yet 🕺
I did another 5k this morning, but my upper thighs were agony after yesterday's sprint things... That said it felt much better by the end, but legs ache now.
Top 100 for me - well, when I say Top 100, I was 99th. 😆 But 1.08 off kast week’s 24.59 in at 23.51. I think some of that might have been starting a bit further up and not getting caught in so much traffic for km1. Still a way to go to my Ashton Court PB but for a cold shitty wet morning, I’m happy enough with my morning’s effort.

Slow, steady parkrun for me today pacing someone from my tri club round for 33 minutes. Feeling the training kicking in and finding running to be getting comfortable and enjoyable again. Also put my name down to help out at the Oldham Way Ultra next month, securing myself a free place for next year's race, so that's my first one booked in for 2019...
Actually surfer, if you’re reading this still, if one wanted to get towards 4.30/km what kind of interval sessions would you recommend? We go out every Tuesday and Thursday mornings - and have 40-45 minute windows to do some work.
Never run much more than 3h but for 2h+ I usually take energy bars of the same sort I'd use cycling. Quite like Kellogg's nutrigrain but your tastes may vary. Plus plain water. Jelly babies are easier to deal with when racing (marathons) though!
Been derailed a bit this week by manflu but hope to get out for a plod tomorrow.
@madeupname Food for long distance is basically whatever you can stomach. Things I carry is a mix of the following depending on what I have got/fancy:
Gels
Shot Bloks
Jelly Babies
Tangfastics
Rice Crispie Squares
Meat - pepperami/chorizo type
Mini Pork Pies
White bread cheese sandwiches
Flapjack
Soreen
I find I can sometimes get stomach issues with too much gels and often just get hungry for real food depending on how hard I am working or what time I am running. If I am doing a full day event I actually try and eat solid food early. If its a long training run/day out in the hills then it will mainly be solid food with the odd gel/sweets for a pick me up if needed.
@madeupname for that kind of distance I'd probably have 3 or 4 gels, a couple of bananas and flapjack bars of some kind.Something savoury for about 3/4s of the way round would be good too, to settle the stomach.
Anyway my running: did 16km in the big Madrid park (Casa de Campo), which I don't run in often and was pleasantly quiet and remote in places. Chilly but dry which was ideal too. Nothing today, and tomorrow we're off for a 30km run up in the local mountains - heavy snow is forecast, so we might need to cut it short / change route.
Surfer, I'd be interested in what DD asks re pace work as well mate.
@bikebuoy - that was my basic plan, I just wondered if there was anything different/more exciting out there...
and normal food is easier than a box of gels a month!
@ajf and mogrim - that's kind of what I hoped for. Mix and match of sports stuff and normal food. I'll just have to try to see what stays down/settled in training. Any excuse to eat pork pies is good with me!
@thecaptain - jelly babies never seem to work for me.
I had a pack waiting in second transition of a triathlon once, and as I set out on the run I ate one, needed savoury not sweet, so gave them to a very confused child supporter who was trying to give them out to runners.
@surfer - you may be 'old school' but I'm 'no school' so any advice much appreciated!
Mentally I wanted to know I can be on my feet for a long time. I didn't want to get to halfway, and realise that was as far as I had run and I still had another 15miles to go...
In the past I've done a couple of marathons and one iron distance triathlon. I'm limited on time, and also commute to work by bike 5 days a week so am short on running time/sessions and also have to watch out for overcoming my legs. I manage one 5-6miler at a faster pace midweek and a long run at weekends. As fitness builds the long run has got faster as well as longer. I don't plan to run over 20miles again in training and after the 30mile race is out of the way in March, I will cut the distance and try to build the pace.
A 50-60 mile week or a 58min 10 miler isn't going to happen any time soon.
How are people warming up before a run?
I've came to the conclusion this may be my downfall, I'm basically getting out of bed, putting my gear on, heading out the door and going straight into a jog then picking it up to a gentle run about 5 minutes in. I've picked up a knot in my back which I think is down to not warming up properly.
been to see physio today re my recurring muscle strains.... which seem to stem from ridiculously tight calves according to his incline board, so good to know there's a reason that can be worked on rather than bad luck.
But we discussed warm ups, and he said that the best warm up is basically to ease into it - no evidence that stretches to begin make any noticeable difference, better to start off in a walk, to a faster walk, into a gentle jog, and gradually ramp up the levels, and then after 5-10 minutes incorporate some active stretches (so, lunge walks, heel kicks, and so on rather than static stretches) as the effort level goes up.
Sorry I posted then went out..
Hi DD. There are a lot of options and if you are Mo Farah then you have to be very scientific and specific. us mere mortals have a bit more scope and most of us are coming from a low base so anything "specific" will show benefits. If I have a 45 minute window and wanted to do a "session" as oppose to just a steady run I would do any of the below, all would be beneficial and it depends on what you enjoy.
Warn up by jogging 10 minutes or so getting progressivly faster. Then run a number of 2 minute efforts with roughly a 2 minutes slow recovery. Last 10 mins or so warn down.
Similar warm up then Fartlek which is just fast and slow. The fast around 5k race pace but the slows still quite steady so unlike the 2 min efforts you dont get a full recovery. Vary the efforts and their speed, I enjoy longer efforts say 2-3 minutes at close to 5 min mile pace, 30 seconds jog then 100-200 almost flat out (that hurts!) then a longer steady period in between, several of those is good.
Alternatively warm up then 12 x 400 over a measured (or at least consistent) stretch (these need to be as quick as you can manage 8/9 efforts and that makes the last 3 interesting :-)) say a 90 second to 2 min very slow jog recovery. Warm down
Any of that mix and match, 6 x 800 is a good session or 3-4 x 1mile. Time yourself over a fixed distance doesnt matter if its 790m or 40m short of a mile just do the same stretch each session and compare times.
Something I always used to do at the end of a hard session is 10 x 100 m (ish) as fast as I could (until your legs were buckling!) 30 secs recovery between each. Then warm down.
There are million variables but when you are starting out just running hard will see huge benefits.
My brother yesterday won the M-M50 Scottish Masters XC Champs. Old git Champion for a second time.
I'm much more of a plodder..
surfer, thanks for those. I did some measurements of the park where we run in the mornings today while walking the dog. Not scientific, but good enough. Some of those routines will fit in very nicely for our morning sessions - thankfully at 0515, we’re the only eejit sour there and nobody will wonder what the hell we’re up to.
Thanks again. Advice like that and the time to write it down always appreciated. 👍
Food wise I sometimes take Tunnocks Chrome Domes, but they're not carried I normally scoff them when back at the car or have one before running.. only sometimes though.
Warm ups, well I jog at low pace (almost a fast walk pace) and do various leg lifts and a swing of my arms to open my chest up.. nothing more than about 200mtrs of that then I start off jogging and pick up pace within about 500mtrs or so.. then throughout the run pace on/off and sometimes slow right down then back up to a building pace.. If there is a sustained long steep climb (like QECP can be) then I will stretch out whilst climbing, sometimes my leg tendons feel a bit stiff and this is the way I stretch them out.. So I purposely choose a very steep section and climb up it..
Todays run was just under 16k, nice quiet lanes over to Almscliff Crag through Stainburn Forest and back, very quiet out there today, not a lot of wind and overcast light cloud.. so could put some effort in on the lanes.. Nice hack out.
"How are people warming up before a run?"
I do some dynamic exercises, such as leg swings, paleo sit, lunges etc, and then I head out and gradually ramp up the speed. I used to go for it straight from the door but I think this was the cause of quite a few of my injuries.
10 miles off road today in some really nasty gloop, 90 mins which I’m very happy with given the conditions.
Re. Warmups, it depends on the run. For a 5k I’ll do 5 or so mins of running, some flat out sprints and some dynamic exercises. For longer runs, I tend to just do a bit of light running and not much else. I do put a big emphasis of warm downs though, it’s certainly something that I think stops some fatigue and injuries, lots of stretching, light running t9 slow the heart and then some more stretches. No idea if this is right but it works for me.
No specific warm-up here but the first 2k is always very steady and mostly downhill. And I usually walk up the final steep section on the way home.
Jaffa cakes and the Sorren lunch bars are what agreed with me when I was doing longer runs in prep for the Exe to Axe. I've never gotten on with gels, I did after a recommendation try Jam Sandwiches at one point, they went in okay and felt fine for 30mins or so and then started to feel bloated so I gave them up as runners trots is not something I wish to experience!
I'm quite annoyed today, rode my MTB for the first time in a month yesterday with some new SPD's, felt like they were set up fine as no knee pain during and felt fine last night, today I have brought my running stuff with me looking to run home (9miles) but over the course of this morning when walking I get a sharp pain in my left knee, about a 4 on the pain front. I know I shouldn't run and rest it, but I really wanna run!
This is one of the reasons I didnt ride for a month, the fear of this happening and knocking my running/training plan!
10k off road for me yesterday. Legs were completely empty / in pain and I ended up leaving the other lads to it and walking the last 1k home.
Gentle lunch recovery run today, 5k at 9 min miles is the plan, it looks lovely outside but I fear it will be bloody freezing once I step out.
Went up to Staveley nr Kendal on Saturday. Pete Blands were having a discount sale in Wilfs so me and the Mrs spent a bit on lovely inov8 stuff. Afterwards inov8 were doing a product test of the new x-talons so we got to try a pair each and go for a nice trot on the fells lead by some of their staff. Which was nice.
On Sunday it was Blackburn Winter warmer 10k. My Mrs did it. She was reasonably happy with going under 50 mins for a hilly route. The winner, Ben Fish, did 31:58. I'm still staggered by this.
@MrSparkle - nice! Ben Fish is going well right now. He won the Four Villages half the other week. Watched a really good race unfold from a nice warm timing car. 2nd and 3rd twice now, so pleased for him to get the win 🙂
OK then folk, lets deal with the important bits of running - kit.
Favorite shoes?
Essential bits of kit?
Other kit based wisdom?
Shoes - Asics Cumulus. I keep trying and buying lots of others, Nike Lunar Glide and Pegasus, Asics Superion, Brooks GTS, Kajenji Kiprun LD and none come close. My dad is chuffed as he gets a ready made supply of barely used shoes for the gym.
Kit - compression calf sleeves. It may be snake oil but I really find they help. And short shorts, they're just more comfortable and I now hate running in long shorts.

Whatever neutral shoe I can find on sale for £35 or less. Had a few pairs of Puma FAAS 500s, then two pairs of Brooks Ghost, and I'm about to change to some NB Vazees. Tend to get about 4 months out of a pair. One of the things I love about running is it costs so little, and you can't buy speed with fancy kit.
Adidas Adios 3s - currently on about my 7th consecutive pair (had 2s before that). I get through about 3 pairs a year, but keep a nice pair for racing.
I buy them when they are on sale in the colours that no-one wants.
I appear to have picked up a knee niggle.
After running last tuesday I had some discomfort around the lower left quarter of my right knee, around about where the knee/fibula meet if that makes sense?
It was very tender to the touch and there was some notable discomfort going upstairs but particularly more so going down. I decided a few days rest and some liberal use of deep heat wouldn't go amiss and by today it felt much better.
So today I went out and ran and now it's very stiff, tender and uncomfortable again which isn't very fun.
Any suggestions of what I may have done or what I could do to remedy this please?
