GimmeMedals wrote: Well run. I hope you didn’t get too wet.
Fenland Flier wrote: I was very lucky and the rain came late.
GimmeMedals wrote: Nice 👌🏻
minardi wrote: I love it along there
Flatlander wrote: Very gloomy looking. You did well to miss the rain.
Fenland Flier wrote: It was quite nice minardi, except for avoiding the cow poo. Blue skies and sunshine when I set off Flatlander but I knew the rain was due around 11, I expected a soaking but was lucky.
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) wrote: Nice miles, glad you didn’t come to grief with the cow poo 😂
Fenland Flier wrote: Mrs Jigs they don't seem to do cow pats anymore, I guess their diet can't be very good for them nowadays 🤣🤣
3M wrote: Good set of miles, though! It does look a bit dull, though!
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks 3M, I was considering changing it as I took several but it was only slightly better facing the Wash instead of the river and marsh.

Fenland Flier wrote: Yes one I pinched off Autumnleaves, 2x 3 minutes with 1.30 rest between, 3 x2 minutes with 1.00 rest between and 4 x 1 minute with just 30 seconds rest. Hard work but very enjoyable when you finish.
fetcheveryone wrote: Isn't it always? :-)
Fenland Flier wrote: Yup.

GimmeMedals wrote: It’s hard when your legs are tired. Well done
Fenland Flier wrote: Must have long legs Alice 🤷‍♂️ Thanks GM, I felt good it was just my legs, wierd, I only noticed when I started running the reps though.

3M wrote: Always worth getting out anyway! Pottering is good. 😊
Fenland Flier wrote: I'm a day out 3M as I've ran Monday, Wednesday and today whereas I usually run Sunday, Tuesday and Thursdays. Thrown me this week and it's also felt like a long week despite having Sunday off work.

Flatlander wrote: Hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing time.
Fenland Flier wrote: Enjoyable thank you but not relaxing standing around. We've been out for a meal this evening as a family, 5 of us and that has been nice.

Ness wrote: Nice mileage still. 👍
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks Ness, a couple of hours will give me 12 to 13 miles nicely but I do like longer on a Sunday if I can, just because I enjoy it.

fetcheveryone wrote: That's an ace time! Now you need a still day :)
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks, that would be nice. It's very difficult when you're not chasing anyone not that I think I had much more to give.

fetcheveryone wrote: Have you got a virtual partner setting on your watch? Being behind or ahead of the little person can be helpful.
3M wrote: Good going! The wind is rarely from behind (as it were!).
Ness wrote: That's excellent running! 👍 Well done. I'm always a bit slower when I am running on my own.
Fenland Flier wrote: I've not got virtual partner on this watch Fetch but I do have pace alert that might help. Thanks all.

Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks both. Constraints of time.
Flatlander wrote: Self inflicted pace adjustment. ;-) Good speed. Were you glad of that breather at the crossings? ;-)
Fenland Flier wrote: Definitely Flatlander, it was nearly a hands on knee's job.
3M wrote: Nicely done. :)
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks 3M.
Kelv-12 wrote: Great low heart rate for that pace!
Fenland Flier wrote: Kelv this new watch I have has a wrist HR sensor and I don't read too much into it tbh.

fetcheveryone wrote: Looks like your Coros had you at (0,0) lat/lng for the first half of your run.
Fenland Flier wrote: Apparently it hadn't locked on to gps which I hadn't realised.
fetcheveryone wrote: Gah, annoying.
Fenland Flier wrote: It's my fault I should have checked and tbh it doesn't normally take that long to lock on.
Alice the Camel wrote: You know you did it, regardless of what Garmin records! A good session xx

GimmeMedals wrote: Faster 2nd half again 👏
Fenland Flier wrote: Thanks minardi, I did strain my neck looking out for Andy but didn't see him about. The sheep I did see were sunbathing. Thanks GM, I realised once again time was tight. I hadn't allowed for running home with my cycle helmet, I had hoped to leave it with my cycle, but having said that it seems to be a habit in the 2nd half of a long run.
Alice the Camel wrote: Another good one, well run!

3M wrote: Flippin' 'eck! Nippy even with a fade.
tipsku wrote: Well done! Wow, 5.09 pace for the first 100 m is seriously impressive - I'd be done after that, no way I'd finish the mile like you did. I'd take that time no questions :)
