When I'm not working

[Matt]

I do quite a bit of running, and try and do my bit for Charity. I was chosen to be "the face" of the local Children's Hospital in Sheffield, and was on all their posters and promotional material.



Needless to say, I didn't look as fresh faced by the end of the race!

I can't wait until April's race! Keep up the good work, Matty.

Should be good @Null , been doing quite a bit of training the last 2 weeks (some longer runs, and more speed work).

Forgot to update this with the results. It was a horrible race, as I'm sure a lot of people saw the farce that was the lack of water and cancellation on the morning. Still ran it anyway!!

Started my training for the next 10KM race in 10 weeks time.

Bought myself a new Garmin 620 watch to help with this.




Have just been out and done a times 5KM, and took over 30 seconds off my PB from last year

 

[Matt]

I just discovered this thread tonight. Thank you for helping the Children's Hospital in Sheffield! It is very nice of you.
My daughter goes to Great Ormond street hospital and they also have a charity family race.
I was into running a long time ago. Now just pushing the buggy 😉

I can run 5.6km in 40 minutes. I think my best time was 34 minutes.

I run sometimes but it's too hard.

My 5K PB is currently 18 minutes 40 seconds. Took me a good few years to get it down to that.
