Can't find it in the historical race finder thingy but I'm sure someone must have done it.

I can't believe the cowards have put tri farm sprint in the champs instead of Culford.

So the last 'proper' ride I did was Weymouth. Last decent run distance too.

I've signed up for Thorpe & Egham half at the end of Feb (spitting distance from my house) - did my first 'tempo' run today.

Provided tempo is defined as 'pace a horse would go when only suitable for the knackers yard' we're all good.

All my runs are tempo at the moment.

Tempo means running at what should be a sensible but challenging pace. its just a challenging pace for me is about 1 minute a mile slower than my head thinks I can do.

2019 is the year :-D

I'm fat and old and rubbish.

2019 is not the year.

2020 might be :-), but 2021 is more likely....

According to BUPA:

Although the true definition of tempo running varies, aim to run at a constant speed that feels ‘comfortably hard’. This should be about an 8 on the effort scale. Stick to about 15 to 20 minutes at this pace and always include warming up and cooling down

I think the problem stems from the indistinguishability of 'comfortably hard' and 'Z2 amble'.
