mjmooney Posted October 9, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2009 Is it gonna be easy enough to get onto Broad St or are they closing it off to public transport?It'll be closed for sure. I think you'd have to park elsewhere in town and walk up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stato Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Still on a high from running the Birmingham Half Marathon on Sunday, me and a couple of mates have just entered the Silverstone Half Marathon in March. I've also got my eyes on the Telford 10K just before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 14, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well, back to the bread and butter. The 8.5 miles I did with the club last night has left my legs much more weary today than they were yesterday after the BHM. Could be something to do with the huge ****-off Yorkshire hills and the eyeballs-out speed session in the middle of it. And I was told at the club in no uncertain fashion that my 1:45 PB was crap and I should have done much better. Good old Horsforth Harriers.

roonst83 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 What was the new improved time for the 10K? Not sure but i've only ever run two 10ks - and my best was 48mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimandson Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 What was the new improved time for the 10K? 1.05, I'm still having to pull up fairly often to catch my breath, but recovery time is getting much better. One strange thing I noticed myself doing yesterday was only breathing out, like I couldn't catch enough breath, but I wasn't panting as such.

trimandson Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 A spur of the moment 2.5m tonight, up and down hills, in intervals, christ, my body is nearly crying, I was sloooooow too, but I suppose it was something new for the body to take? I'm going out again Sunday morning for a 10k'er, but last Saturday when we went out, we both seemed to be suffering with something I can only describe as 'lead legs', whereby it was almost impossible to get a tempo going without the legs going 'noooooo' every two minutes. Any idea why this would happen? Not enough food/stretching? Too early? It was weird man, really really hard, although we were both fired up for it big time. Thanks in advance, Trimbo.

Yep, It was a total opposite to Wednesdays 10k which we basically sailed through. I've never been a morning person but the difference was incredible. Mind you Trim, I've decided not to get quite as angry at myself the next time it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimandson Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Rocking the 1.05 again on the 10k this morning, again stopping for my lungs (Si was like a machine today, even running up the hill back the car after our 'official' finishing line). I'm putting other training on the backburner for now, gonna try and concentrate solely on the running for a bit, two 10ks a weeks, football on Mondays, and I'm gonna try and get a 5k to interval over, build up the stamina, still some way from where I wanna be ideally. But tis ALL good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa_Rosa Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Inspiring stuff lads. After a couple of weeks off due to holidays and a brief but thoroughly unpleasant encounter with the norovirus I headed out this morning. It was a beautiful morning in the North East; fresh, low sun, nice and quiet. So I did 2.5 miles instead of the planned 1.5 gentle loosener. Felt good too.
