  • Managed an 18:34 5k today. Really curious to head to an athletics track and see what I can do with no hills or roads to cross etc.

  • Nice going! Track's definitely a nice fast surface to run on, although don't underestimate the mental aspect of running round in circles at a hard pace. Seeing the lap counter grind down during a 5k race is like clock-watching on a tube platform.

    Ah, track! :-(

    We've got another virtual race challenge at the weekend, paying homage to the Comrades Marathon; 55 miles to do between teams of 8. I've volunteered to do 12 miles on Saturday, so I'm in mini-taper mode for a couple of days. Will still keep my exercise-streak going though. 65 days and counting.

  • Hadn’t even considered that but sounds like something that would drive me insane. Having nice scenery really makes a difference in enjoyability.

    Virtual race sounds fun, not so much 12 miles though. Do you do it on Strava?

  • Interesting team tactics. Ours has ended up being more egalitarian. One of our fastest runners is only doing 6. Good luck.

    The lockdown circuits I have added to my weekly routine have battered my legs so I also am in mini taper mode for the weekend.

    If anyone is bored enough to follow on Twitter or Instagram then #kentdoescomrades is your friend.
