Runners of twitter: I desperately need something to train for. I was going to be doing a half marathon in October but that’s presumably cancelled. Fancy joining up to all run a race at the same time in a few months? If enough people joined we could try and do it for charity?
Seems like we’ve got @TheLabAndField @richwithtea @LauraJaneGraham @DaniRabaiotti and @Claire_Lee in, join us!
I’m thinking October, probably a half marathon with a 15km option for those who want it?
I think October 18th will be the day! At 9AM in your local time zone (or UK time if you’d rather begin at the same time as those of us who’re here) WE RUN
Probably need to think of a hashtag or something...
I made a google sheet to keep tabs on who’s interested and how far they’re up for running (I’m doing a half marathon but other distances are encouraged). However in the wake of whatever bitcoin fuckery happened here last night, twitters preventing me from tweeting it
First training run. I have learned two things:
1) I’m not as fit as I thought I was
2) England is hot today
Name/bio/everything will be improved at a time when I’m marginally less sweaty
I never got around to thinking of a hashtag did I? Alright, the worldwide coordinated half marathon/long run thing is #oct18, because that’s the date, that tag is getting little use and I can’t think of a single unifying theme other than RUUUUN
While running I just realised that #nerdrun is far better. #nerdrun
Decided to remove everything to do with pace from my watch’s screen while running, it was making me focus on the wrong stuff. Distance and calories burned are this month’s motivators. Today’s was fun: I saw a huge dead fish’s head! #nerdrun
Run nerd run sounded better in my head but it’s very tough to read as a hashtag 🤷‍♂️
If this heat keeps up I’ll have to find my old headband to keep the sweat out of my eyes. The one that makes me look like a massive tool #nerdrun
#nerdrun training run 2: still a bit warm, but my 7 miles showed me green woodpeckers and a family of great crested grebes, so we’re all good
So Stravas made most of the good features paid-only eh? Touché.
My first >1h run in far too long. And I saw a big dead fish! With one eye missing #nerdrun
Welp, the official half marathon I was running in October (Oxford) has now been postponed until 2021. Looks like this #nerdrun thing will have to be my motivator now!
Between an injury and bereavement my #nerdrun training has slipped a bit... probably not going to make a half marathon now, but aiming for a 15km
Well, a 10km had to do! But given how my trainings been lately I’m happy with it :) #nerdrun
