Morning all! Hope we all had a great day yesterday!

Good luck to the racers- think that's everyone here except me lol!
Just a MLR for me. I did actually end up running yesterday- 0.04m down the road to try out the new trainers that Santa brought me!

Looking forward to the race reports

Combination of 25m on Monday and zero exercise yesterday left my legs feeling very stiff! Decided to scrap the planned 13m run in favour of 2 shorter recovery runs. Loosened up nicely by the end of a VERY WET AND WINDY jog

Evening all

A wet and cold Glynneath 5 today. Did 31 mins which is a pb for the course for me. Got 2nd lady, first vet . Didn't hang around as was very cold after the race.

MM - good to chat. Nice to meet Mrs MM too.

JD - There is nothing quite like running.

It was wet and the rain was really cold. I did warm up but legs were ice cold for first bit. Ran 5:44 for first mile (it really needed to be 5:30). Ran behind Charles W for the next mile hoping to avoid the headwind but he slowed so I clocked 6:13. Struck out on my own and did 6:05, 6:03, 5:53.

Must do better next time, but today was not the day. An easy 5m to unwind tonight.

WA - wow! 5.30 is my target 5k pace, not 5m.....
Well done

Year before last I ran 3 x 5:30 miles at the start of the MT10. Not that the rest of the race went well but it is asperational.

and that was 2 x 5:30 downhill.

Aspirational? Sounds like suicidal! unless you're in sub 35 min 10k shape.....

Unplanned and hilly! Best part is my original run was only going to be 5, but I extended it to 6.5!
Bought a 5kg medicine ball in the sales. Now I have got sore abs!
