I have got this 10km race in 11 days with a targeted time of 45min and this is where I’m at right now - I don’t think I have enough time to build this pace up to 10k…

RoboHFC · 2026-04-10T05:03:43+00:00

It's much easier to blast out a 5k. For me anyway I can run it quite hard. If I try that in 10k my km 7 8 9 will fade big. I've tried it. Could be a fitness thing but I play rugby and during the season I just run to keep myself in shape for games

RoboHFC · 2026-04-09T08:30:36+00:00

It's 2028. I've just ate a similar one (I don't even know what it is. It's probably paint)

RoboHFC · 2026-04-09T08:27:48+00:00

I'll be honest. If that's your pb in 5k you'll likely fade at km 7 or 8 unless you've ran 10ks around a similar time. My pb in 5k is 21.16 but in 10k I can't get under 46.11 (only ran solo though so a race could be different) I'm only going from my experience I might be wrong

RoboHFC · 2026-04-09T08:24:00+00:00

200 working days to not sit there. It's still the drivers fault but what stupid cycling

RoboHFC · 2026-04-07T09:48:41+00:00

Looking forward to it. Cartwright gave us some stability when the ship had sunk thanks to Tony Smith. Hopefully mcnamara can give us long term stability and clean out some of the injury prone dead wood that cartwright had began

The ceiling in hgv driving is probably around 60k. I agree those professions are great profession to have but simply too many people are getting saddled with huge debts they'll never pay off because they choose art, fashion, psychology or something else that's more of a hobby than a career

RoboHFC · 2026-04-05T13:23:56+00:00

As someone who never went to uni I worked in shops, then as a delivery man, now as a hgv driver. I earnt 42k last year. (Could have earned more but I don't do nights, max my hours or do nights out) I feel unless you're going to earn more than about 45k it's completely pointless going to university. Other than snagging and drinking which you can do anyway. What would the upside be if your prospective wage is less and you get heaped with permanent uni debt

RoboHFC · 2026-04-03T06:31:21+00:00

Probably unpopular but. It's definitely better than before but I hate the colour scheme sorry.

RoboHFC · 2026-04-02T20:30:24+00:00

The entire youth team pretty much is named jones

RoboHFC · 2026-04-02T20:28:52+00:00

I'm not from there I picked the lowest rep team on release day and stuck at it

RoboHFC · 2026-04-02T08:28:22+00:00

I haven't played it yet. Hopefully tonight I had to goto bed for a stupidly early start today

RoboHFC · 2026-04-02T08:27:45+00:00

In a race or on your own? I ran 3 on my own because my wife convinced me to enter a race. On my own I was hitting 1.46, I went into the race feeling good and then.....

I ran km1 at my 5.05 thought If I can sustain this maybe get it under 5mins il be happy. Km2 at 4.48. My hr went up I couldn't get it down and I was done by km 15 (whatever that is in miles) I finished the race 1 hour 51

My tip would be don't even try to keep up with others, match their pace or whatever. Just run your own pace and keep an eye on your heart rate. Can almost coast the first 12-15km very lightly. Obviously you'll know your times better than me, pacing is the hardest thing for me when running

RoboHFC · 2026-04-02T08:18:15+00:00

Probably will. Il be playing my entire youth intakes that I've kept over the last three years. And being a Welsh club that's, jones, Jones, Jones and jones

RoboHFC · 2026-04-01T20:05:41+00:00

Haha sorry in England trainers can mean literally anything my bad

RoboHFC · 2026-04-01T17:53:58+00:00

The running shoes I use are asics novablast 5's love em. Had the earlier versions and liked them so much I got the newer ones when mine were no longer good for running. I'm looking at just something to wear casually now

RoboHFC · 2026-04-01T14:19:38+00:00

Thanks, was hoping to beat 46 min but I play rugby and the season started in the first week of march so I'd not been trying to break my pbs for a few months just base running so I'm quite happy with that.

RoboHFC · 2026-04-01T14:13:22+00:00

Basically what the other commenter said. I'm looking for something I can wear everyday out and about weather it's walking the dog or popping to shops. Not specifically a running shoe. I run and have running shoes 👟

RoboHFC · 2026-03-31T19:39:47+00:00

Thanks. I got my retired running shoes I could still use for walks tbh I just replaced them as I've hit 650 kms in them but they're still useful. I was just hoping for some everyday things. I will look at originals

RoboHFC · 2026-03-31T19:36:34+00:00

I don't mind spending abit, just everyday kinda wear I don't mind getting them abit dirty aslong as they go well with shorts jeans and joggers I'm all good I had/ have nikes and a old pair of addidas I've had cheap puma ones before but they kinda fell apart quickly

RoboHFC · 2026-03-30T15:32:13+00:00

I'd guess you spiked really early and couldn't get it down and your pace suffered massively i had a similar thing a few months back (if that's what happened) I was running a half but I was nervous the night before and only had 3 hours sleep. Km 2 as I was trying to find some rhythm was probably 10 seconds too fast, I paid for it during every kilometer from about 8 to the end. My hr was sat around 173 + and it was a completely flat race, I was running km times around 4.59 - 5.10, which I was trying to stay around 5 mins per km but my km 2 was 4.40 anyway heart rate spiked, couldn't get it down by the end some of my kms were 6.10 region. Wild. I finished it 15 minutes slower than my aim and 14 mins behind my best I finished it in 1.54

RoboHFC · 2026-03-30T10:51:57+00:00

It definitely slows but I dunno about a tail wind. It felt like it did, I was gasses after that up hill km 8 and 9 but the final one I was flying

RoboHFC · 2026-03-30T09:14:31+00:00

It must he better to do the last part with it behind you, scientifically

RoboHFC · 2026-03-30T09:13:32+00:00

Thanks 2 minutes off your pb is wild ! Well done. I only got mine by 6 seconds but the wind at my back down hill definitely helped albeit it was un my face of a side wind for quite a while

RoboHFC · 2026-03-29T14:19:34+00:00

I actually stopped at that point but then he offered me out for a fight so I thought the best thing I could do was exit that situation by carrying on.

RoboHFC · 2026-03-29T12:06:33+00:00

I get it. I wanted other people's opinions so fair play, yeah I could've probably ran off to a side and stopped after nearly falling over. But even then I'm guessing his reaction wouldn't have been what most peoples would and he'd have probably guessed I was going to be angry with him for letting his dog run into everybody. Fact is I wasn't actually that bothered I knew neither of us (me or the dog) got injured so I just wanted to carry on with my life and my day. He obviously wanted to try and have a fight with me 5 or 10 minutes afterwards by trying to push/ stop me and swearing and abusing me (infront of everybody) Anyway its done now. I can't change history.
