and it gets better!!only took me 1hr and 40mins!!!!!!



cant stop grinnin!!!!

20 miles uphill in 1h 40m? Thats 2h 10m marathon pace!

Are you sure!

 

[flakey]

Hmmm....

Assumming you didn't sart and finish at the same point if it was mostly uphill

 

[Boab]

That's pretty quick going Indianrunner, should we expect to see you in the next Olympics?

 

[indianrunner]

i know i was well impressed with meself but my feet are dying today!!!!feel like i am developing rhabdomyolysis.....cant even get out of bed!!!

but cant stop grinning all the same!dont think i will be doin it again in a hurry again if i can ever run again!!!!

 

[Dan_R]

That's 5 minute mile pace you understand? Seriously fast - like national standard.

No offence but I think you have got your numbers mixed up.

 

[Nick B]

Looking at your PB's, it would be virtually impossible for you to run 20 miles mostly uphill in 1 hour 40 minutes. Maybe you meant 20k?

 

[steepler]

That is NOT POSSIBLE! You would have been at the European champs in the marathon if you are that good.
Get a pedometer, bet you ran less than 20k,

 

[steepler]

I wouldn't want you operating on me if you are that removed from reality mate!!!!!!
You should be running sub 14 for 5k.

*tumbleweed*

I'm looking forward to the OP's response.

 

[Bryn R]

I'm impressed, to maintain a pace considerably (and by considerably I mean an awful lot!) faster than your best over 5k, and probably faster than you can run a single mile for 20 miles.

Wish I could record work-outs like that!

 

[Nick B]

Wish I could record work-outs like that!

Me too !

 

[jonesy]

Am I right in thinking a sliiiiiiight mistake might've been made? Still, doing long runs up hills is something to be proud of..

 

[Bryn R]

It is, and reading back my post is probably a little too caustic if it's a genuine runner!

As a low 33 10k runner though, I've done 17 miles in just under 1:40 which was working moderately though not overly hard. This chap is saying he's done 20 with a 5k PB that's closer to my 10k than my 5k!

Good on him though for getting out there and running for that length of time-maximum I'd say he'd have run probably just over 10 miles- maybe 1 or 2 more.

 

[steepler]

We wait in awe of the best runner in the UK reposting his correct distance!

 

[flakey]

C'mon guys, he's unlikely to switch his computer back on after the pasting he's got here!
maybe we should have a forum sweepstake on his actual distance

 

[Nick B]

I say he mixed up metric with imperial (even NASA do that) and did 20k.

 

[steepler]

20k tops!
I wonder what else he overestimates?

 

[Bryn R]

deductions from his VAT bill perhaps Steepler???
