10 runs in 10 days now. Mostly 30 mins or so on round but a few trailly outings. Longest just over an hour. Feel so much better for it. Losing weight and sleeping much better

Fartleck round local housing estate. Run like stink up every cul-de-sac, jog a bit and go again. Felt surprisingly good. . . sweating like a pig now
Good effort.
13 runs in 13 days now
A wee head-torch on Ilkley Moor yesterday evening brought up 15 consecutive days of running
Well done Andrew; a beacon of virtue for all V50s ( & older! ).Quote:

It's not every day I get called a beacon of virtue by a living legend. Purveyor of briney Coke, one of less than 20 associate members of the BG Club and the man who once shouted at me across a misty and sleety mountain top: "Hey Andy, didn't you used to be a fat lad?!" I'll be floating on air on tonight's run outQuote:

(Actually I think you gave up rock 'n' roll some time ago. Er...reggae???)
I'm thinking about doing a race soon. I hear you're the big dog around these parts (a silver medal at some championship or other by all accounts). We can discuss what counts as rock 'n' roll then maybeQuote:

Don't you have Family Guy down the Moderator's Suite? Stew-roids, when Stewie gets hooked on steroids and starts calling Brian B-Minus??Quote:

We don't have a tv. I'm vaguely aware of the program Family Guy but have no idea really what it is
Anyway I ran 3.5 miles on a disused railway line trail tonight; my 38th day of consecutive running . . .
Vaguely aware...what the deuce?? Get to youtube for a crash course, here's a sample to get you going...Quote:

I speed read your post there and thought you were claiming to have run on a disused railway to celebrate your 38th birthday!
You're going well anyway, i felt like i'd had a Dr Nick lung transplant earlier today, worst (flu) episode ever.
42 days done and going to have a look at "The Round" on my kindle to celebrate
Day 53 today and my fifth day in South Bavaria, approx 60 K from Munich. I'll be running in Yorkshire tomorrow
60 days done . . . shorts definitely looser
71 days done now . . .
What's the longest and shortest run?
Nothing spectacular: longest circa 6 miles and shortest probably "a long mile", bearing in mind I don't wear a watch or Garmin, or use Strava
I like to kick it old school too. My midweeks are around 200-250 Chains, but recently (if you follow my thread) my weekend outings are up to 2000-2500 Rods which is nice. I might throw an extra few thousand Links in if the route warrants it mind.Quote:

81 days done
You don't like round numbers
Ran twice round Low Mill. Had to wear gloves. Feeling the cold now I'm so thin ;)
Well done Tup. You're being sensible with this running everyday malarkey; six miles or less. Once you're up towards 10 miles per day on a regular basis, that's when you need to start factoring in a rest day per week. Otherwise you start to breakdown and tire yourself.
All The Best, Ian.
Upped the distance this weekend with 4 miles road Friday, hilly 5 on road yesterday and muddy off-road 6 this morning. 83 days done now; 23 day better than previous longest "streak"
90th consecutive day running done with a mix of road, trail and shingle
Run 97 was a dash round the village earlier this evening. Hoping to spend Wednesday evening (run #100) with KCAC headtorch pals
103 days. Thinking about getting a watch and starting to measure my runs too. Probably not mind . . .
112 days now . . . without a watch, Garmin or Strava
117 days with a mile road "saver"
A 'saver'? Not too much cheese and port i hope...
My xmas diet of bombay broccoli and grumpiness is keeping me going nicely.
A 'streak saver'. 9.1 miles today - a good chunk of our local skyline
