Wow! Well done on the 10k 🙂 and the stretch goals. I want to run a half marathon in under 1:45 this year. Like you, I need to get out there and train!

Let us know how you're getting on 🙂

[Guest ShyPeeMan]

@Kupar I'll be happy just to finish a half marathon lol.

I am hopeless with exercise - so my goal is just to get out and do some cycling and kayaking when I can.

Yep - it's an achievement. I've done it twice ... and was utterly knackered both times!

Sounds excellent. I sort of fancy trying stand-up paddleboarding, but I don't know whether I'll do it this year. 

[Kupar 13,341]

10 mile run this morning. I will ache tomorrow. But I am pleased: 7 weeks until the half-marathon and training is back on schedule. Just got to stay clear of injuries 🙂

I have tried SUP a couple of times.   My sister is a fan of it.   It is a relaxing way of pottering around, but you would have to fairly go for it to consider it a workout.  Having said that, your legs do get a bit of use in keeping the balance.   Personally I'm not that keen on being stood up and I prefer the kayak option.   I'm not saying I wouldn't do it if the chance was there, but I'm not about to go and buy my own board.

What my sister likes is the fact that you can be in different positions - you can kneel, stand, sit or even lie on the board - so she sometimes paddles out to the middle of the lake and then just lies on the board looking up at the sky. When paddling in different positions it does stop you getting cramp or feeling like you are only doing one thing though.

Well done!   Sounds like you are way fitter that I am.  I'd definitely struggle with a run anything like that long.

You just need to build up to it 🙂

Lovely day today so I went for a cycle ride at lunch time.  I rode to a nearby large pond or small lake and sat on a bench enjoying the sun and listening to the birds.  I did have the pleasure of following a lady cyclist aged about 30 for a while as I pulled out of a side road behind her and kept pace with her until our routes separated.  She provided a pleasant view of her rear for a while.

After the road but, I cut across a field and through some heathland to the pond.  I drank plenty water before I set off which meant air was able to write a message in the frost covered grass.

 

having returned home, I do feel like it was a worthwhile way to spend my lunch hour.

Sounds like a very good lunchtime all round 🙂

I assume they have just set off so are still full of energy and I'm in my way back

Time to get out on my road bike for the 1st proper time this year. Should be fun

[Guest ShyPeeMan]

Legs didn't want to work today, only managed 29miles. Still better than nothing I suppose.

5k this morning, my 1st run in 3 weeks and was pleasantly surprised at my pace. Had to be careful as well cos it's icy under foot.

 

Just curious, anyone use Strava, if so and you fancy a follow PM me

It was the 1st day of a C2C charity bike ride me and a friend did, great ride with some challenging hills.

[harry_jones_1975 604]

After going down very heavily on black ice last year after jealously watching several run past my window that morning I now only run if it has been 10 degrees for several days. I miss running. So be careful brave friends and I look forward to joining in posting in a few months. 

[Guest ShyPeeMan]

That my bike n cloths ready for the morning hoping for at least 40miles tomorrow

[harry_jones_1975 604]

Am trying to find a 10k to enter as a warm up before a half at the end of September. They are all either too early in the year. Too late in the year. Horrendously early on a Sunday, miles away or clash with something already on. 

[Guest ShyPeeMan]

@harry_jones_1975  I want to try a half, but I've got a long way to go for that. I've only done 1 10k so far. Good luck with finding a 10k that suits
