I've had a few dodgy weeks but I think I can resume training next week. So I'm going with 17:59. I've a choice of two courses one has a massive elevation drop I think I could go sub 17 on it and the other one while it has a drop its as fair as it gets where I live, as there are a
few drangs on it too. Unfortunately it's a out and back course. I think in a ideal world a TT should be ran on a track with little or no wind. I can understand why most road runners who don't do longish sessions on a track would find it off putting running 12.5 laps. That was my plan for a TT before the 2km distance was introduced. If the next 6 weeks go good I plan to repeat my 5k TT on the same course. Maybe a boards mile TT after this 5km one?

Since 5am I have done a solid 20 x kitchen chases with a 2yr old. I can firmly say I’m in sub 18 shape after that session ( with a tasty downhill start making jingle bells look like a slow course)

You've got a downhill kitchen?

I'm gonna have to add Swashbuckler again 'cos he got deleted in the latest, or next to latest, version.

I presume we can start with the excuses already. I can't buy a fookin' break at the moment. On top of the allergy and the dodgy hip I more or less put me back out this morning. Just avoided a total seizure somehow and now it's just sore and feeling a bit sorry for itself. If I can stay in good shape, find a downhill course with a tailwind and get the young lad to pace me on the bike I might break 30 yet. And if the new Nike April 30 discount yokes arrive....... Now back to Netflix and a drop of that Yellow Spot that arrived an hour ago.

Put me in twice shur. 36.30 seems more achievable.

Swashbuckler is still there. How’s the auld eyesight holding up? :pac:

Oh, someone organised the table. Fierce fancy. I was out by a bit on Swashy's age cat as well.

A very satisfying 5x 1k session just had.

3:53, 4:00, 3:53, 3:56, 3:52.

Had 3min rec built into the session. 30 secs into the first one after the first rep I hit the lap button by mistake, wanted to get the HR up on the screen, couldn't think straight about what to do so just ran lol. 300m in I realised I could have just paused it.

Big improvement on the last time I ran that session last autumn.

Confident now.

Most updated list, please note the people's names in bold are the ones i have a real name to go with their Boards one. I have asked more than once for a PM with a name, those not in bold have until to tomorrow night to get me a name, after that i am deleting the names off Strava i do not know:

You're missing me off the list. I hope I'm in the correct Strava group.

I've also upped my mileage again. 25 last week so I'm investing in this

Not on Strava, what can I do?

Yeah, on Garmin Connect.

I've been awake all day pondering this. Should we have a % penalty for runners who normally have a beer or two and/or a drop of wine (ok, who drink) and who go dry for the night or nights previous to the TT?

I'd be all for it, cos as a poster said earlier that is basically cheating. Am I right?

No danger of me being labelled a cheat on this one. #lockdowndipso

35 - 39

What are people's plans session wise in the run up to this?

I think I'm gonna do one I did a week before Jingle Bells, do it Sat morn maybe,
4x800, 2x600.

Did 8x strides this morn, will do another bunch of those next week and maybe a mini session too, on Tue. Something like 1200 at race pace.

Thoughts?

Haha, this is the start of something beautiful. A monthly 5k and a bi-weekly mile until the vaccine.
