Morning Run - Recovering well

avatar

I just finished a 6.943km running that lasted about 0hh:40mm:1ss !

Considering I ran 16km on Sunday my legs have been feeling okay. It was really hot yesterday, but felt cooler this morning. I was doing my regular loop around Fairfield, so it was a slog up the hill. I saw a few runners out today, but nobody I know.

I was very consistent with recent runs, so the longer weekend run has not slowed me down. I felt pretty good generally and could perhaps have gone a little quicker.

As the relaxation of COVID restrictions has been delayed (as everyone expected), parkrun will not be restarting this month. The Greenway half still seems to be on though. Events have been happening around the UK and I see @rthelly has done another tough one (but it shows the wrong distance).

There are lots of runners on Hive. Show them some support as they inspire us.

Run free and stay well.

Oh wow, 16km this weekend. That is nuts! I think I would be lucky to eek out 1k. It is hard to say. It might be more of a jog if I were trying I think. We just had some storms come through and have hit a bit of a cool spell. It is a nice change from what we had earlier.

Got up to about 28C, which is hot for us, but then I try to run in the morning anyway. Not too bad in the house today as we don't have a/c. Could do with some rain for the garden, although it's still very green.

Running long distances means lots of training, so I would expect I can do it after all the running I've done. A half marathon is just a bit further. It will be fun to run in a crowd again, but I guess people will be keeping their distance where possible. I wonder if they will start us in groups to spread it out more.

That would make a lot of sense I think.

They did send out a survey to ask what sort of finish time we expect, so they may base it on that. A lot of these races use a chip on your shoe to log your start and end time, so we do not all have to start together. I think there have been around 300 in previous events, so it's not a huge one.

That is really cool about the chip.

It's been pretty standard for a long time using RFID chips. They have sensor mats at the start and finish. Companies hire systems out for events. For parkrun they scan a barcode as it's easier to do with just a phone.

You know I have never imagined the magnitude of the distance you run until today.

From what you wrote it means you can run round a track more than ten times.

You should start doing marathon. I think I can only run 8 rounds maximum.

Keep being fit sir

I started running late in life, so it proves what can be done. When I started a one mile run left me exhausted.

A marathon is a really long way. I need a lot more training to manage that, but I would like to do it some day.

I believe you will be able to do it once you put your mind to it

I'm just a guy doing what he enjoys. I started running late in life, but if you keep doing something you get better at it. I get inspired by all sorts of people and I may inspire others. That is part of why I post on Hive.
