Training - What Training?!

Last week was 3.5 hours for 40km and 390m elevation of running.

Had a woeful start to the week and missed Tuesday’s track session, but then picked things up later in the week, so make numbers pretty decent (for me).

That’s Andy Baddely. Hadn’t realised he was a 10km champ? His specialty was always 1500 mtrs and he held the Parkrun record for ages.
He’s the only one of that shower worth listening to. (Kate Carter used to be great as well but she left)

Hope I haven’t got it wrong, I though he held a 10k British record, was it 1500?

Pretty sure it was the shorter races he did, hence making a big thing about doing a marathon.

He is the parkrun record holder I believe.

I think it was the 1500, that’s what he ran in the Olympics. Either way, he’s fast AF :smile:

Looks like it’s Andrew Butchart from June 23 in 13.45!

Had to Google: He took Baddley’s record which was 13:48 set in 2012.

Badley’s story is that he was in the shape of his life, running the 1500m at London 2012 - but failed to make the final. So fit and angry, he rocks up at the local parkrun on the Saturday and runs a new record time.

Power was way down on last week in the first hour so just put the music on and drifted off.

High praise from the age group elite cashing in on oil money !

It was a bike, wasn’t it?

That would be a seriously impressive (impossible?) distance to row in 2.5 hours

gotta be a bike - top right - 42 rpm. You don’t row rpm and even 42 strokes per min would be unsustainable.
