Morning all.

Disappointed to go 67.11 at Otley. Had to walk twice with a stitch. But a good blow out anyway. Back to hadding now for 3 more weeks.

 

Pretty good time Brian on  a very tough course. The winner was only 55 mins, which while fantastic, is not a normally a time to win a ten miler in.

I did a 77 but pleased with that. Hit MHR twice in the race, once on a big hill and once in the last mile when I was pretty tired. I can assume that is not MHR now (162) not sure what to assume MHR actually is now without doing a test.

Thanks Susan, the route look pretty flat really, not much overall elevation.

Based in Leeds so Iam used to running up hills (slowly) so I am hoping the flat course will be a big assist

Great writer - sad loss

Ran 13.1 last weekend as a training run - 1:50 so happy with that. Not sure I fancied doing it again though.

Hilly 10 mile race this Wednesday  - Otley 10 - not a course for a good time but will be nice to race a ten and see what I have got. Recce of Bradford Millennium Way relay (leg 3) this morning and really enjoyed it. Race next Sunday.

Proper marathon training starts mid July. Anybody got a link to the York course profile. Undulating  and a 2.5M climb are not what I signed up to.

Good is relative. It was a PB for you though you so that is good.

It was pretty hot yesterday so perhaps you were a bit de-hydrated afterwards.

How can anybody tell about your HM. Only you know how you felt after 5K, what training you are doing and how you are going. Keep on running and see how it goes, plenty of time until Sept.
