Really enjoyed the 5 mile race on the Cannock Chase trails last night. Topped off with hot food and a hot drink provided by the excellent hosts, Stafford Harriers

Just back from the Thunder Run (supporting )..... Yes looks like he's smashing it although if he wins anything it'll be because he's in a very good team

After 6 weeks of short daily plods trying to recover from an injury, I did a back to back marathon this weekend.
Did yesterdays very tentatively in about 4.20, and did todays in 3.59 with last 6 miles at a faster pace.
Hopefully I can kick on and get some decent training in now

I can't get my head around two people doing 24 x 10Ks in 24 hours, just awesome.

I was in the pen at night waiting for my turn, and couldn’t believe one of them was still smiling and looking as fresh as they did! When is it your turn? Age is no excuse, my team had 3 over 50s 😉

Very much so but not without a few others & wife who was working. Talking about Hanley to a Marshall we agreed that Trentham for all its glitz & glamour gets a lot of credit, where as Hanley does exactly what it says on the tin. A Parkrun in a park, and a friendly Parkrun at that. Oh and I was also told interestingly originally their was plans to have Parkrun at Queen Park Langton before Trentham

Sommerfield Pavillion (The Curly Wurly) Park today....41.00!
Ran first mile at 8.25 and within that first mile found too many cracks in the ground, potholes & divots. No way risking 2 miles of that!

Tough week for running with this heat. Track efforts on Tuesday, 5K race on Thursday although happy with 23 minutes on a tough course, 4 miles steady this morning and another 10 planned tomorrow.

That's a good idea when we had that silly heat a few weeks back I ran at 6 in the morning.

Prior to last week all of my Sunday long runs have been 6am on a Sunday purely on the basis of me working nightshift from Sunday so wanting to maximise time to recover

Over in Chester this morning supporting my running partner I was planning a 5 miles out on the river path and back but the organisers cut the planned 18 to 14 because of the heat. I did 3.5 miles out with the lead group at sun three hour marathon pace and then did the top up 4 when they got back. Apparently the lad who led the lead group won it last year no wonder the pace in that heat looked effortless

I did 21 on Sunday morning, but in 2 loops from home, a change of shirt and refill the water bottles, I was soaked with sweat, drank 2.5 litres on the run and plenty after I got home, still took about 3 hours to pee an egg cup full of bright yellow stuff.
