I’ll be running, and remembering this thread I will run 5km hard, it will not be at all pretty, I am very unfit, I cannot run hard at all, and heavy (not overweight or anything but right at the top of the range of weight I’ve kept for the last 12 years)

I might try a 5K but it will be a gentle jog rather than anything fast. Groin is sore again today after yesterday

I’ll pop out for a 5k tomorrow but it will be a benchmark setting exercise for certain. PB was 6+ years ago and won’t be threatened for a while yet

You can heckle from the sidelines 
Hehe … i’ll give it a go. Given that i tried to improve my 5k time in the november lockdown, when i trained hard and dropped 1kg i have no excuses. Trouble is i never ‘re-tested’ at the end of lockdown and ive since regained that 1kg, plus a bit more 
Happy new year all

I tried to make the last km “fast” of todays run, I got to 4min/km for about 300m, heart rate up to 160, but then I just couldn’t keep it going, so probably 22 minutes or so tomorrow, or 4 minutes off pb…

I’m out, managing 5-6k running at a time bit not even close to PB shape after breaking my foot.

I’m in, but as I have to go early, looks like ice could scupper any chances of repeating my boxing day sub-18. Still, it’s going to be a ‘fastest time of the year’ which counts right?

Good point!
Edited because the ‘year best’ initially went a mile over my head 
I’m thinking I might just possibly squeeze a, ahem, 2020 best too… depending upon how much I drink this evening and if my legs ever recover from Monday’s squats and lunges session 
Happy new year

Happy birthday. Can’t believe you work part time and have to work your birthday. That sucks.
Should we ask to close your account for one day only? 
On a serious note, if it is icy then take it a bit easy. No point in going A over T for a virtual mates race.

I’m a bottle of golden hen and speckled hen in and it’s only 6pm.
This is very unlike me! Well home me. Going out me is a different story! 
I think my 5km may have to wait!

I’ve just had some soft cheese and water biscuits, about 4 pieces of a Terry’s Orange and a 0% beer. Not sure that’s the best prep!

The most sober I’ve been at this stage on a NYE since 1996/7 which is good/sad
Just pint one into an 18 pint box of Oakham’s Citra
My 5k may well be a head torch job slightly later in the day
