With just over 4 months til the London Triathlon, I went for my first run on Tuesday night. Managed 3.1 miles in bang on 30 mins, which I was quite pleased with.

Well done What distance tri are you doing?

Cheers

Olympic. :-|

I've done sprint's before, but never Olympic and never open water, so should be interesting. Really need to ramp up the training now the mornings and nights are lighter. 

mcsdan

Excellent.  I've fancied a tri, probably next year, and would go for open water too. Sounds good

Getting back into Parkrun, 23:27 today. 3 minutes slower than my best, but in toe shoes or sandals I've only done about 22:30 so I can't complain so far. I was overtaken with 200m to go by a guy in sandals! Just me and him in "alternative" footwear today I think, although of course I would argue that it was everybody else with the strange foamy things on their feet.

Couple of runs this week including 12 km today takes me to 251km

Beat my 5k record today at 31 minutes.

Would like to be well under 30 by the end of the year.

240.. +7 +10 +8 +8= 273k. 

On target- Although my target is 1000k for the year I'm trying to keep to 100k per month to give myself some leeway for interruption  due to injury/laziness/terrible Scottish weather.

147km + 5km = 152km

+ 5km today so 157km overall. Still not getting out as much or as far as I'd like but a PB so happy. Have also started swimming 2-3km a week on top of the running and doing HIIT workouts 2-3 times a week and I've found the increased impact on general fitness and body shape to be noticeable (don't worry - still rocking the 'one-pack')

Mar 19th: 367km +12km = 379km.
Today hurt physically which was a nice change.

2 x 20 milers the weekend. First 20 on road, second 20 off road. 64 miles for the week and 4700 feet of elevation too. Good week. 

Total 287miles/462km so far. Happy to be back running.

300km + 5km + 8km = 313km

5 wet and windy miles yesterday lunchtime. It started off spotting, then turned into a pleasant drizzle, then driving rain but never too extreme and no freezing rain.

fields5069

5 quite sunny miles this lunchtime.

Managed to bruise my foot working in the garden so I will be having a couple of days off.
BOO!

joneve

managed 5km last night (and 1200m in the pool this morning).

Total of 10km running this year so far! haha. 

kjdowd

+5km so 162km so far. On a treadmill which is unusual for me, but it was pissing down...

Deadman

I'm having more rest days on nurses advice as I was wheezing badly again t'other night.

Today I breathed in through my nose and out through mouth for full 10km and was breathing like I would just sitting down, it's like I wasn't even exercising. Rest day may have helped? Feel great now.

313km + 10km = 323km

octatonic

I shall run tomorrow.

I reckon I overdid it a bit in Australia- doing 12-18km runs on consecutive days was always going to go wrong.

Back to consistent 5k's for a bit.
Fortunately I'm well ahead of schedule.

Deadman

Wise.

I didn't really think it was possible to overdo it but I was wrong. I actually think the introduction of rest days could be a more positive move than running faster and longer for 6 days a week. I still get a choice to chuck in the odd 10k and 'take it easy' with the odd 5k and still feel like a million dollars for it.

I'm on track to hit my 357km target by Easter too. Might as well reset it to 1200km like you guys have for the year after that.
