[techgurladpi]

ready for the results of “an easy run”

 

[Zaamy]

What times the half start?

12 I think

 

[snapdrag0n]

What a horrid time for a race start! No thanks!

What a horrid time for a race start! No thanks!

The Silverstone Half used to start at 12 when it was held in March (put on by London marathon events I think before they started the Big Half) and it was a horrible time to start, made fuelling so tricky. Definitely not a fan of a later start

 

[Fraggle Rock]

I think Tits has finished in 1.29.23

 

[Paperclip22]

I recognised someone just in front of Kelly in the starting pen, she runs at sub 90min half so I reckon Kelly's too far forward and will have gone out too quick.

 

[Zaamy]

2:01:43- another 'training run' on 'heavy leg' then

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

Cue “I loved this, wanted an easy run, heavy training week ahead”.

More easy miles tomorrow no doubt that will be run faster than today’s.

They are both asking for injuries.

 

[Runhappy]

GPS gave her a 3:44 mile in there and PBs all distances up to 15k. Wonder if she'll keep the strava!

 

[notokhun]

What is her half pb? 1:54?

Interesting… so was totally racing it up to 15k then!

These 2 are clowns.

 

[WhatCouldGoWrong]

It's not a PB course as it's quite hilly and her HR suggests it was a training run. Looks like a solid effort to me.

 

[EverthingGlitters]

Oh wait I re read that - the GPS went wrong (sorry busy multi tasking) she clearly isn’t running 2:22 a km

Yeah, there's been a couple of major GPS issues with certain Garmin devices in the past week. Her official time matches her Strava time.

I think the same. I would be happy with that on such a course!

 

[Staffie1]

Terrible result for someone who's been training for a BQ for the last 18 months with 50 mile weeks consistently. Hilly course or not she should easy be capable of running 1.50 if she's anywhere near BQ . What has the last 18 months been for ?!

 

[notokhun]

I wasn't having a dig at her time, I just wondered what her pb was to try gauge if this was easy run she said it would be

I agree, with the amount she runs / trains an easy run should be much easier (faster) than this especially with the BQ goal.

My east HM time would be this on hills and I am nowhere near running a BQ ever.

 

[WhatCouldGoWrong]

Yeah it's not a BQ level steady/easy run, but I think even she has acknowledged she's not BQ ready right now. I think she needs to focus on breaking 4 first, which is a bit more realistic

 

[wtfiswrongwithfolk]

Why is she on a train when they drove there?

You would expect to see more progress but she’s over training it’s quantity not quality. Idiots like this don’t understand the science and what actually happens to your body on rest days!!
