Smashed it! 🤩💪Only went & got a bloomin' Brighton Half marathon PB of 01:41:36 - shaving 9mins off previous. Cannot believe it! ☺️ #BrightonHalf #running #halfmarathon #raceday #ukrunchat

18 in the bag! Woo hoo hoo 🎉 So pleased to get to this stage and still trying to pick it up at the end. Phew! Grateful for the sunshine this morning 😊🌞💪 #ukrunchat #marathontraining

🌟Today's #runstreak 1,826 means I have been #running everyday for the past 5 years! 👉🏼 It's an amazing feeling!😄 Absolutely love it! Happy #SundayRunday everyone!😊 #ukrunchat

Day 2 of Melinda's #MarchPlankChallenge finished. Did it before I ran the @ATLtrackclub @Publix Half Marathon! Also got to volunteer before the race! Happy Sunday all! #runchat #bibchat #ukrunchat #RunningCityUSA #ATLMARATHON

Tape peeled off again (ouch). Distance run. Recovery pint and roast done. Now soaking in a bath That’s the end of this years #brightonhalfmarathon - I finished in 2:56:34. Next stop the Brighton and London Marathons! justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #UKRunChat #RunningPunks #0n1ydan5

Feeling a bit better enough to round up the distance to over 350km for the month 🤧 🙏🏾 @ukrunchat.bsky.social

6 mile progressive with @runna. Enjoyed that! Lovely river run. #ukrunchat

Any tips #UKRunChat on early morning runs? I did my first tempo run before work today. It's SO HARD to crawl out of bed in Winter and put in the miles.

Longest run so far in 2 parts! (I wasn't sure if it would keep tracking after the workout part was done 😂) #runningpunks #newbierunner #UKrunchat #running ✨️Dead Kennedy's - Nazi Punks Fuck Off✨️

60 minutes easy pace running was the plan for this morning and managed to keep within pace zone 2 for practically the whole run apart from a 10 minute warm up and running a few strides to finish off the workout #running #easyrunning #polarrunning #strides #ukrunchat

4 miles easy with @runna accompanied by the Stereophonics. 🎶 🏃‍♂️ 🎧 #ukrunchat

It’s a dreich day, as we Scots say, but I had a good strong run. I’m really enjoying the cooler weather for running. #ukrunchat #runnersover65 #runningmotivation

A trip to the gym for some treadmill miles and a progression tempo. 20 minutes at my current LT1 pace and 20 minutes LT2 pace. Also happy to see HR kept within the zones on average #running #temporunning #progressionrun #adidasrunning #polarrunning #ukrunchat

Motivation, Where do we get it, how to maintain it, why does it leave. Week 9 of #Marathon training for Manchester and the plan is kicking in hard. And it's 0° And I'm eating too much 🍫 I do have better things to do 🏀👨‍🎤 ...laces up 🎽👟 reluctantly 11 more weeks #Running #UkRunChat #KeepGoing

8km done ✅ 42km to go All about the pace The pace The pace No treble www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 for @refugecharity.bsky.social #0n1ydan5 #UKRunChat #RunningPunks #SussexRunning

The algorithm known as Greg proposed a Tempo Run today - was supposed to be around 4:40/k, came out 4:30/k. Felt like I could've slowed down a bit, but didn't in the end, just went with the feel. Maybe knowing I won't run on Thursday (99%) made me push it a bit? #running #ukrunchat #pigtailpower

Breezy but slightly warmer day for this morning’s run. Kept to the paths and road to avoid any muddy areas. Rain is expected for later so glad I missed that. #ukrunchat #runningmotivation #runnersover65

It’s 25% past the 21st Century already & I don’t know how we still have two ways of measuring distance/pace. In a car, I think in miles as ave. drive across UK countryside is ~40mph. On foot I’m in km as I can imagine 100m segments ahead & I test this on my Garmin (doesn’t everybody?) #ukrunchat

Up and down the Thames, with a St Paul's start/finish. The Monday routine is working well. Planning a bit of a jump in mileage this week if all goes to plan, so we'll see how that goes. Work is also looking a bit busier for the week, too, so there's that... #running #runchat #ukrunchat

#beatyesterday #garmin The long awaited Stourbridge Stagger took place today, starting in Mary Stevens Park and going to Churchill and back over the hills @worldofrunning.bsky.social @ukrunchat.bsky.social @therunchat.com #runspirerunners #runchat #stourbridgerunningclub #thisiswhyirun

Was lucky to go out earlier than later today and avoid the rain - just a drizzle for a while, but that was less than a nuisance. Longest run in the last 3 months! Felt quite good, the gels probably helped with the overall feel. Sefton Park is a popular run spot! #running #ukrunchat #pigtailpower

Commute with headwind, tailwind and all kind of wind 🤦🏽‍♂️ @ukrunchat.bsky.social

Yes! 14 miles in the bag. Nice to see some friends out too! ☺️ Multi terrain inc Waterloo, Sloughbottom and Catton park, hills and inadvertently joined junior parkrun! 🤣 #ukrunchat #marathontraining

For all those that like house and techno. Here is a playlist I'll be using on my marathon. Feel free to listen and use for runs if you're on Tidal too! tidal.com/playlist/7ef... #UKRunChat #RunningPunks

30km! Including Barking Parkrun pos 4 🙏🏾 @ukrunchat.bsky.social

Long Run in the wind and the rain. Needed to get miles in the bank. Very pleasing to get out. @ukrunchat.bsky.social @worldofrunning.bsky.social @therunchat.com

Happy Sunday! A few more miles towards the Paris half 🥖❤️ #ukrunchat #running

Happy with that. Longest run for 5 months and each mile got quicker whilst doing 10K #running #fitness #ukrunchat

Along the old canal today. Lovely stuff. Happy weekend everyone! #ukrunchat

Absolutely beautiful day for it today #ukrunchat

Blow the days stresses away. Just the job. How’s your Wednesday? #ukrunchat

Nearly scraped a sub 22 min 5k! If I had realised it was on the cards earlier I could have tried to squeeze a bit more. Chuffed to bits regardless. @llrunninggirl.bsky.social edging closer! #running #ukrunchat www.strava.com/activities/1...

How do #runners get to races without a car? I’ve just had to cancel a very popular race in Kent because it would involve getting a midnight train from London to Ashford and then a SEVEN hour wait outside the train station to get the first train to the town the race is in. 😮 #ukrunchat #runchat

Today’s run to Natural History Museum to see The Wildlife Photographer of the Year. It’s unusual (for me) to split a run but managed it without seizing up! 15 more miles done today with @sarahkern.bsky.social @ukrunchat.bsky.social @worldofrunning.bsky.social @runnersworld.bsky.social #running

Final question for tonight. What is your plan for the next week? What will a successful week look like come this time next week? #ukrunchat

Q4: Which safety precautions do you take for running on darker, icy, or wintery days? #ukrunchat

Q3: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to winter running, and how do you overcome it? #ukrunchat

Q2: do you do a warm up? Guilty here of not doing one, first mile or two are my warm up. If yes, do you adjust your warm-up routine for colder temperatures? If so, what changes do you make? #ukrunchat
