Shortkaik Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm planning on trying my 5K on Friday, since I've got the day off and it's supposed to be sunny. Very excited to see how I do, especially compared to you awesome running people! Quote Mmm... kaik.Twitter - flickr Link to comment
cline Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 5k in 40:31 tonight. Whoo hoo am I last again? So important to me that I did this as thurs is my one year date from surgery and was told I could never again work out at a moderate level (running is supposedly off limits) and now I'm stronger than ever. And I improved my time and ran 1.5 solid before having to walk at all. Yea me. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

KillerGriller Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'm going to have time to fit in my 10km race this week.

Waldo Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Did the 5K today in 28:49. Not my best time but it was a new outdoor course with some hills, I was sore and didn't push too hard. Would have done much better on the 'mill, but I wanted to run outside tonight.Saturday though the 10K will be conquered.

Corbab Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Everyone looks like they're doing great! PRs all around!I was planning to run, but I'm exactly as tired as I predicted from my regular practice schedule, so I'm just going to use the weekend to recover.

Denny Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I ran 5.17 km today at 28:23 minutes. (5:29 min/km) So 5k at 27:25. Not my best time but the feeling was awesome, I was not tired at the slightest when I was done. I felt I could have run a 10k instead. According to Endomondo I started at 5:35 min/km and at the end I was at 5:19 min/km. I know for sure what tactic I should use for longer distances now.

Shortkaik Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I did the 10K this afternoon! I've never run more than about 5K straight before, and I didn't stop at all. YAY! I didn't think I could do it. I did it in 1:08:43, which is pretty respectable considering my best 5K time is just under 32min, but I'm really just proud I was able to finish.

Loren Wade Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Turns out I will not be able to run guys. Got too much on my plate. Maybe next time. Congrats to everyone who went out and did it though! Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment

Waldo Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Saturday though the 10K will be conquered.Whew, finished, that was a tough one. Running 10K when sore is a real challenge for me. 1:02:48.

Denny Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Nice job! What tactic is that? Start jogging/running at a pace where you can breath normally, like you're out walking at a fast pace at most, then increase the pace as much as you can without feeling the need to breath heavily. If you go too fast, even at the slightest hint of effort (strain), you slow down. I know the time is not my best but I enjoyed the run a lot more than I usually do, it's not uncommon for me to get neck pain or shin splints because I push myself too hard. I feel nothing but joy with this tactic, it's almost like a "sunday stroll". Whew, finished, that was a tough one. Running 10K when sore is a real challenge for me. 1:02:48.Yet you pushed through, great work man!

BarefootDawsy Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 No 10k for me either maybe next time....got a race next weekend so don't want to overdo it. For everyone else, there's only a few more hours to record your time, so if you haven't run, get out there! Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
