Today I grabbed a personal best at Woodgate Valley Park. Unfortunately my watch time of 23mins 45 wouldn’t register as it has to go on the gun and I stopped mid run to tie my shoe lace up. @ukrunchat.bsky.social @therunchat.com

Anyone tried using JogOn to recycle their old running shoes? Previously, I've dropped them off at Runners Need as their stores have collection bins. Unfortunately, there are no stores close to me, whereas JogOn gives you a label to post your shoes. https://www.jogonagain.com/ #ukrunchat […]

If your running with a pacer, especially the 3hr, for the first 16 miles to avoid getting tripped up hang back a few metres and don't run right beside/behind. When the group thins out, it always does, you can move up.

Evening Run before the rain sets in. Ran really well and very consistent.. baring the last mile where I cross a couple of roads and knocked my speed off @ukrunchat.bsky.social @worldofrunning.bsky.social @therunchat.com

Busy day but managed to squeeze in a #run. Pleased with the pace. (Plus I've ordered a #Garmin Fenix 8 solar 🙂) Photos are from a visit to #GreysCourt including one of the costume Elizabeth Brunner (Irvine) wore as Titania in a production of Midsummer Nights Dream. #ukrunchat #running #runner

Some nice treadmill intervals this evening, felt mostly comfortable at the quicker than normal pace, even into the final couple of sets. 2 weeks today I should be in recovery mode from the #ManchesterMarathon #runner #running #Intervals #TaperTime #ukrunchat
