Oscar's Everyone Day

Sunday 23rd June 2024
In 2021 Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".

Sadly we lost Oscar in March, so I'd like to dedicate Everyone Day to him. Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.

EarlyRiser Good run considering carrying a cold. Conditions good. Very mild, wind breezy. Lots of hills! Had trouble on pace with 2nd lap hills 1 and 2, but did fine on last one and final stretch. Long downhill stretch with wind behind was great fun. Unaffiliated 1:55:55 1:55:55 1:55:00 1:55:55 63.64
emma-art Folksworth 15. Good run with E'O and Ron. Felt really good, could have kept running for a couple more miles and even had enough for a sprint finish. Nice giant jaffa cake at the end supplied by ron, cheers big ears! X Werrington Joggers 2:15:00 2:15:00 2:30:00 2:15:00 55.38

Gaubfar going for a pb, i feel in better shape than last year, but who knows

Cracking run and a PB to boot, really pleased with how I ran, only downside is the strength in my legs Yaxley Runners and Joggers 1:55:25 1:57:13 2:05:00 1:57:13 57.13

Greenman Longest run since the beginning of Dec so wasn't sure how it would go. Pleased to get 1:38, not much outside last year's time and the conditions were quite tough running into a stiff breeze in places. Very mild for Jan though. Grantham Running club 1:38:22 1:38:57 1:38:57 70.91

Marts recent mileage and wind scuppered chances of PB early on. took till about 11miles to wamr up then passed 6 in last 4 miles to finish 22nd. Course best by 1m20s. last 2 miles 5:55 and 6:05 so pleased with strength but not speed, this is way off what I need for sub 2:45. Will have to check results and see who did 1:34/1:35 and whether it was a slow day for everyone or just me

Metal Martin I treated this as a training run, running round with my OH who has never run this distance before.  We planned 10 minute miles and hit exactly that.  I never struggled at all, had loads left at the end and enjoyed the route.  A few testing long hills, but a lovely stretch at 5 & 12 miles where there was a left turn that resulted in a few miles of flat running with the wind behind your back.

Had a really good time. Thorney Running Club, Thorney RC 2:29:09 2:29:09 2:29:09 47.43

Rod58 Have run this course several times in the past and entered this year with the intention of accompanying my son round ( he's doing London in April0 .As it turned out he clocked a creditable 1.50, while I could kep up with him at all , pulled a calf muscle at 6.5 miles and shuffled round in 2.10!. However the experience has made me assess my limitations and I went for sports massage/therapy for the first time ever this week , and had a tentative 3 miler round the park this morning.Gonna start from scratch again and build up slowly. 

Great course and well organised and marshalled - well done Yaxley - I'll be back! Werrington Joggers 2:10:35 2:10:35 2:00:00 2:10:35 52.35

SPKoF Oops. I'm not used to failing. I'm not used to letting people down. I commented that I should easily pb and I should have done. I'm so sorry. I really pushed the last section knowing if I could just get 1 second under the points would be saved.

But it went wrong. Very wrong. I knew from 4 that I wasnt going to be holding HM pb pace. It was uphill and into the wind. At 7 miles I was still on for a 3 min pb but 7 through 11 were awful. really bad stomach cramps which eventually led me to do a 'Paula'.

Once declogged down below I was reasonably quick again but those 3 slow miles + the minute for a sh*t cost me.

Now I'm headf*cked for the FLM - my training partner dropped the bombshell that they arn't doing the FLM with me despite having a place so I spent a lot of time on the route thinking should I even bother myself. Why spend Sunday 100miles from home using up brownie points like there is no tomorrow just to clock an unacceptable time in a 'marker' race.

I've not felt this low for a while. Long Eaton Running Club 1:47:40 1:48:10 1:46:00 1:48:10 62.09
