Don’t see anything on my Mac. Must be a windoze glitch.

Going back to Murphs analogy this is like a 6 handicapper hitting the green in a nearest the pin challenge and then watching a bunch of Sunday hackers knock it in to a foot...:pac:

Impressive! But not at all surprising

59:52 didn't think I'd get near it!

Work took me to Westport today and the plant I was at was located right on the Western Greenway. I measured out around 6.4 kms on maps for where I intended to turn back from my start location. I figured my pace would bring me to 12.8ish kms for the hour. Not a hope. The sun was out and I think I enjoyed the run and location just too much. Almost like a giddy cow being let out of the sheds after the winter.

TLDR; 57:54 today but the time and pace weren't too much in my thoughts.

Stewards inquiry. Two man effort

13.60km in 1:01:36, 4:32/km

Too slow this time. Should have worn shoes with carbon plated soles.

For the February Challenge, stick me down for 35 minutes. I don’t think I’d run it tomorrow, but I’ve 4 weeks to get there.

56:59... way out! In my defence a lot of this was over hills and along sloppy boreens. Very hard to gauge pace correctly and in the end I overcompensated for the PSF (Perceived Slop Factor)

Its a very good challenge, and interesting to run without numbers dictating what goes on. Fair play to Mr. Challenge Master!:D

Edit- 44min for 10k re February challenge

Second attempt for me today 59:42 - https://strava.app.link/JqOrmJ6jtdb

I was going to appeal my effective DQ earlier but decided to give it another try instead.
Ran 58:55 according to Strava https://www.strava.com/activities/4704772745
Not as good as before, must be getting fitter.
I still reserve my right to appeal to CAS :rolleyes:

Attempt no. 3 and finally one worth validating! 30:08. Ran the same route as attempt no. 2 (which was about 3 mins too quick) and added on a bit. Worked like a charm, though the wind definitely helped today too

Hey P, welcome! Thanks for participating. I see you are still doing the FastLane. Cool to have that with the Lockdown :cool:

Thanks for the 2nd go. Strict I know, next month I'll have to be even stricter

It was only a few days ago I was pushing for a European spot, now I'm bloody Newcastle!

Swashbuckler

Thanks for running this M. It made a few, otherwise run of the mill training runs interesting. And the thread was entertaining to follow. Fair play.

Try being in the relegation zone:rolleyes:

Wubble Wubble

24 seconds out and I'm in the bottom half. Dearie me.

Not to mind. Stick me down for a 45 min February 10k.

BeginnerRunner

Looks like my log title was right

...seriously tho, complete fluke.

I fear this may be my Leicester City moment..

In fairness, only running the 30 min version means my 8 seconds over is really the equivalent of 16 seconds for someone running 60 mins if you take it as a percentage margin of error. So I would have no issue with mine being doubled!
