I'm not athletic and I haven't really run a lot in my life but I had that opportunity to run 800m on a track today. I did it for a test, didn't give up running and for the first time in my life I completed an 800m race (never did as a kid). I now hold a PB of 5:08 minutes. :cheer:

800m is about as far as I got when pushing it to the limit before starting my life of more exercise, so that's a job very well done :d

well, I must admit that I've never been perfectly fit, but at least I've always tried to keep in decent shape until the end of my studying years and Military service... I used to play handball (a

Got the 10km PB that I planned for today. Cut just below half a minute. Felt great but the last 2km were more mind than body. That puts me in a fine position towards my target of 1.45 on the half mara

Well if you knock around 3:30 off that you’ll get an Olympic quota for Italy :p

Maybe I can also get a tripartite quota. We have a refugee team participating, why not a Team Coubertin, another "white flag country"? :p

 

Spoiler

Though there are 200+ events I'd rather want to compete in.

I've barely ran since my half marathon, since every time after I run for several days there is some sort of 'stingy' pain in my lower leg :mad:

 

I did pick up the bike (sort of a mountainbike/road bike hybrid) after a long time and did 65km Friday last week, 70km Wednesday and 80km yesterday :p

Great to see so many people running on here!

 

I've been running for 2,5 years now. I used to play football for 10 years, so I had pretty decent stamina to start. My PBs are 19:40 (5K), 40:25 (10K), 1.01:23 (15K) and 1.29:37 (HM).  My next race is a 30K trail, I won't be going for speed but just for the experience. I've been struggling with achilles injury since the 1.29 Half, so no new PRs on the horizon sadly.

I’ve been running competitively for 10 years now. This is the first year that I will not. I’ve had no incentive to exercise what so ever this summer. I’ve put on about 20 pounds this summer, which is a build deal for a distance runner. I honestly don’t know if I’ll run again.

You need about 1 1/2- 2 months for a full recovery from a HM, so you may just be feeling some side effects from that.

Yeah definitely! I totally messed up the recovery.

 

The 1.29 was the peak of a long training period without races, but then 2 weeks later I ran another all out 6 km race (in 24 minutes). It was an event of my former university, so I really wanted to perform. My body wasn't quite as keen on the idea though and I could barely walk afterwards due to the achilles pains.

      We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid

      For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

      As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around.

      Rowing 2024 Discussion Thread

      By copravolley · Posted

      I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
