January Running Challenge

13.82km in 54:27
, 3:56/km
I was at a bit of a loose end, so I decided to give this a go. The plan was to run 14km at 3 hour marathon pace, which if went to plan would be an hour give or take. I thought this pace/effort would be easier judge than a slow jog. Overcompensating for my extra winter weight meant I was way too fast. 5:33 off the target puts me straight in at the bottom of the table. The more than 5 minute gap probably shows how reliant on my watch I have become. But on the plus side, perhaps I’m not as out of shape as I thought I was.

Oh to be able to run that pace for an hour! Thanks for taking part. Everyone who does gets at least a point. There will be more challenges to make it up. You want in for February?!0 -

Just one question before you leapfrog practically the whole table!
How did you know you were at 53 mins to start the strides?
I estimated in advance that the strides usually take me roughly 7mins so in knew I'd look to be finishing the easy part of the run in 53mins. About a half mile into the start of the run I estimated I was running roughly 8 to 8.10ish pace so from that I reckoned i needed about 6.5miles. I knew from experiemce that my house to the lights by salesians was 2.7miles.then the loop around North circular was roughly 1.8miles. Up the hill and back down ennis road, looping around by the greenhills and up past my estate was roughly 2miles.
I didn't look at the watch from when I left the house to when I hit stop if that's what you're wondering
Sounds all well calculated but like most people, a fluke.
No issue if its too sketchy though. Lol. Its easier if we all just hit go, run and hit stop.0 -

Fair enough. Had to ask since I quizzed dna leri too. Fair play though that was some fluke... all the top 4 are claiming flukes!Swashbuckler wrote: »I estimated in advance that the strides usually take me roughly 7mins so in knew I'd look to be finishing the easy part of the run in 53mins.

A few more to come in so I'll update the table again maybe once or twice before January closes.0 -

If you referring to me in that "top 4" comment..not sure if you are though...Mine wasn't a fluke.
:D I did do some desk based homework looking at my splits etc on Saturday before my effort this morning and derived some "checkpoints" where I guessed if I'd been running +/- target pace since the last checkpoint and added up all my estimated +/- to tack on at the end. While I think it's all largely fluke, I'm not claiming that - if you know what I mean. 0 -

Hey, I came up with that one first.

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:0 -

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

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 stricterAttempt 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
Smashing attempt! The single biggest table move of the month too 0 -
January table update with 1 day to go! Plenty of movement today!
