Solo 17 Jun 7:12pm, 17 Jun 2025 1,327 posts	Quote Pin Solo Lots to read but generally seems all positive 🙂 I have prescription Fexofenadine @alehouse which I take all year round and works well most of the time. I love a Panama hat @Torque Steer I am mostly seen running with a cap. Prefer it to a sweatband and I do sweat 😅 I am taking part in a 10k race on Friday evening @Welshpoppy but no big aims. It is part of the 10 k series our club is doing and is round the Lotus test track at Hethel, that's not going to be warm is it ?🤣 I think you might like these stats @NZD as they really show not to worry too much about what our gadgets tell us !! On my run this evening I had three different VO2 max readings. For my warm up 52 , for my sprints 51, and finally for my cool down 53. Good job I didn't get too upset when I lost a point for my VO2 max session 😆My run was done in 26 degrees, breathing not too bad.

What did the passers by think 🤭 Sounds like they gave helpful advice though. Good luck with the 10k solo. I've got a 6 mile race tomorrow with similarly no aims. Good v02 max in any case for your sesh.
Torque Steer 10:33am 10:33am, 18 Jun 2025 391 posts	Quote Pin Torque Steer @Solo how strange that your VO2 max would vary over such a short duration - looks like you weren't working hard enough on your sprints and got marked down Don't think I am going to look at mine for a while Mmmm 10k on a race track which has been baking in the sun all day .... In Formula 1 they worry abut tyre degradation in such conditions so look out for your shoes! @OO62 a 6 miler is a rare beast nowadays in the increasing metrication of distances - hope it goes well A cunning short cut last evening missed out all the big hills and I largely stuck to my 1 min walk/run intervals and managed to get back to the pub first after only completing 2.62 miles Early coolth this morning for a pleasant 2 miles of the same in 26 min. HR ridiculously high on the hill back home at 136 - ah well, long way to go. Good news is hamstring continues to behave.. Wordle in six
