That was also the day of the BG dinner where Bobs and I got our certificates. that seems a long time ago! That's brilliant, I have fond memories of that race. I think my days of doing Langdale are over, loathe though I am to admit it.

Felt really hard and HR was everywhere, am just trying to bounce back from covid (if that's possible) so I hope that was the reason. Then again, perhaps I'm just old and knackered.

flanker Oct 2023 12:08am, 12 Oct 2023 21,033 posts	Quote Pin flanker Likewise. Whenever I've had it, it seems to knock any endurance out of my body, and my HR is 20-30 bpm above where I'd expect for any effort level. Suspected I had a bout (or maybe some other virus, but given Covid is rife around here atm it's the most likely answer) a couple of weeks ago. Ran a flat HM on Sunday (needed it for club champs) at what should have been a steady training effort. I was walking within 5 miles, HR was sky-high for the pace, and getting round in sub-2 hrs ended up being a huge effort. Or maybe I'm just old, knackered and suffering from a lack of training too!
