Running

[pullhard]

Done 14 miles all off road in rolling hills yesterday in new shoes. Love running off road, wearing new shoes was a terrible mistake!

Ran the Gosford Park 10k on Saturday, part of the Born2run series. Good tight run on a testing course alebit one of the fairest runs in the park series that they run. Ran well but definitely lost a bit of the bite since the marathon.

Was good to get a run in before the local 5km this weekend, so it served its purpose.

They are great events, very well run, good atmosphere and in good locations but would struggle to justify doing many more of them at stg£19 preregistration prices. Nice to do one or two of them.

Not into running much but done the Blood Sweat and Tears 10k yesterday. Some craic..

Seen a lot of photos for this, look good craic indeed

Anyone doing the Seeley Cup 10k tomorrow? It's going to be f**king miserable!🙈

Pints afterwards are my only motivation!

[Walt Jabsco]

No not going to it - no hills, no mud = no fun going XC for the next 3 weeks

Right. Thinking of stepping up my distance. got quite a bit done this year. 5k 10ks and halfs.

Thinking of doing an off road ultra, 34mile next year. with a marathon about 1 month before.

Is this doable? should I?

Any of our cross country lads/lasses reckon you could get away doing a race without spikes? Don't fancy forking out for a pair and then hating it and never running another one!

6th Sam, despite the unlimited horror stories I've heard I signed up for The Griddle, better be a decent spread laid on afterwards!

I wouldn't recommend it. Some of the courses you'd be lucky to keep your trainers on for the duration of the race especially with the rain this year!

Here's a very sympathetic 10K this Sunday for anybody in the region. There is a course map/profile on the Facebook page somewhere and there may be video of the route as well by Saturday. It's a good one.

Well No.1 good luck tomorrow at the Griddle was thinking of doing it but going to skip it after the XC today. You are signed up for the Cracker also - you will enjoy it. Scully and Rinty are supposed to be doing as well tell  them to enter ASAP. Once the limit is reached that's it no entry on the day.
