Torque Steer 4 Jun 11:39am, 4 Jun 2026 834 posts	Torque Steer @alehouse I was standing by a pool as well - unfortunately cause by rain! Grandparent duties can be more tiring than running @OO63 it's the Lakes, did you expect sunshine :-)? Good distance run though - hand okay? @NZD that was a decent pace for the reps despite high life living the day before - two meals out in one day!! Makes the free pints appear very frugal Look like good bargains in the shoe department- as by beloved would say - "have you seen how much money I have saved?" Another early am meeting so 2.5 miles in cool conditions beforehand - usual struggle Wordle in four

Clink 4 Jun 11:28pm, 4 Jun 2026 48 posts	Clink Coming up briefly for air. Three more days of my two weeks no break work event and then 3 days off when there should be the opportunity for a couple of decent sessions. Managed short runs each morning this week and pretty much stayed dry although today it was blowing a hoolie. It's really been one extreme to the other! Enjoyed the pics of 'The Bridge' and tales of loyalty pints, yes please. Once had a bad experience in the beautiful Cadiz but I think it was just unfortunate timing, such things can happen anywhere. Time for bed said Zebedee... Wordle in 5
NZD 5 Jun 12:10am, 5 Jun 2026 929 posts	NZD At least you are getting out despite the struggles @Torque Steer. Will still be yielding health dividends & maintaining fitness. Rest day well earned over the last few days @Welshpoppy. Two weeks no break work event sounds a slog in itself @Clink. Well done on managing short runs each morning. @alehouse Hope Cadiz is treating you better than it did for @Clink! Another easier recovery-base run this morning (11k @ 5:58, HR 118/127, EG 66m).
Torque Steer 5 Jun 2:06pm, 5 Jun 2026 835 posts	Torque Steer @Clink sounds an exhausting schedule of work you have there - good to get out each day for a head clearing session @NZD still a good outing distance wise and a relaxer is no bad thing:-) Don't know about health benefits - after this morning's run my VO2 max was degraded by 2 points Anyway 4 miles done in a snail pace of 47 min with Hr 122/136 EG 91m but felt okish despite the huge distance (irony alert!) Wordle in 4
Welshpoppy 5 Jun 2:31pm, 5 Jun 2026 8,118 posts	Welshpoppy Clink Hope mrs T is doing well. NZD Good luck for parkrun tomorrow. TS Shame about the points.Mine has still 4 points to make up. I caught bus this morning but hip caused me issues so ran 3 miles and walked the rest. I have stretched my hip flexors so hope all will be well. Wordle in Three.
NZD 5 Jun 11:21pm, 5 Jun 2026 931 posts	NZD @Torque Steer 4 miles good improvement on last few days 👍 @Welshpoppy thanks. Hope the hip problem is just a temporary glitch. @alehouse hope all is well in Cadiz. Parkrun OK. Well in truth, probably better than that (22:34, AG 89.0%). Incremental improvement over last week so another new PB. I imagine not too many clocking lifetime sub-23 5k PBs at 78. But again more of a struggle than I would have liked!
