    Just signed up for the Vitality London 10K as a charity runner.

    Did Couch to 5K in May - July of last year and was happy to comfortably get to 5K and finally started enjoying it. However Covid caught me during the Euros which really messed up my lung capacity. Could barely break into a jog without feeling like I was going to hyperventilate.

    So I sort of lost heart after that and have done very few runs between July and now. Managed 3.5k on New Years Day without any issues so know I can build on that. Just a case of putting in the sessions again really and getting back into a routine.

    Whilst a charity run isn't about speed, I would still like to come out of it with an ok time and my pride in tact. So any hints or tips welcome. I will be running with my mum who started Couch to 5K with me, but has managed to keep it up even as I sloped off. She has been working towards a half marathon with the Nike training plan. If I can keep up with her on the day I will be chuffed.

    I'd go back to Couch to 5k, if you've done it once you'll be able to do it again and you'll be surprised after a couple of weeks how much your body remembers about the last time. Once you can do a comfortable 5k then start building up a little, maybe an extra 100m or so each run.

    Don't worry about going all the way up to 10k in your training, if you can get to 7-8k then adrenaline will carry you the rest of the way.

    There does seem to be this obsession to get the line up out earlier and earlier each year and with the gap because of COVID and earlier balance payments this year its got people chomping at the bit even more than normal.

    There's always a desire to get something around balance time. People, not unreasonably, want to know what they are handing over a large amount of money for.

    Ha, you were only a minute ahead of us! Came in at 2:09 🙂

    Yep, all in black with a silver run harness. I did wander around shouting if anyone had seen a Hugh Jass, but for some reason I got nothing but odd looks 😂

    It was the headwind that hit you coming around the lagoon and onto the seafront with 5km to go that was the bastard!

    Couldn't remember if you were 9183 or 9163, then by the time my brain had processed this you'd wandered off anyway... 

    Really didn't enjoy that yesterday, first two and a half miles running into the sun and the wind were a bastard and the final three miles were even worse!! The bits in the middle weren't that much fun either. It was my first race since the 2019 London Marathon and it really showed. I was 37 when I last raced and I'm 40 now, the extra years coupled with a general decline in fitness levels really stung!

    Doing the Hackney Half next in May, but already thinking if I don't enjoy that then I'm going to step back from racing and just go back to casual running.

    @Quarkwell that was hard work! One of the hardest runs I’ve ever done. The wind for that final three miles was brutal! Was on course to go under 2 hours for the first half of the race but crashed pretty hard in the final stretch and limped in at 2.08.

    We’re you all in black? Think you walked past me in the pen but couldn’t  quite remember your number.

    A clash between Pet Shop & Macca is even more hard and to be honest. I can imagine a way younger crowd for The National while PSB and Macca is a generational clash.

    Macca v National is a genre clash. There aren’t going to be many National fans who wouldn’t be interested in seeing Paul McCartney.l, especially as this is likely to be one of the last chances to see him in such a massive setting. Hell most of the band would probably prefer to be there.
