A good 10km this morning 1st half slow 2nd half alternate fast & slow km’s. Several good mornings given & received. Nearly tripped up by a loose dog 😡 first run in new Adidas shoes 7311
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 11/10/2026#oversixtiesrunner #runchat #running #run Ran #Sheffield #Tententen 10km race this morning tough run trails were slippery & the big hill tortuous. I stumbled a couple of times, back ache from about 5km. I forgot how much I dislike this one! Official time 58:27 I came 2nd in male over 70 category 😎 4281
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Just finished this #SWFC book, a good read what comes over to me. Throughout the years the owners have always shied away from investment at critical times. The best managers have been undermined usually over finance. The fans are the one constant through the ages praised by players and managers. 291
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They aren’t tennis shoes they’re Saucony Evo 3. had them over two years they done 600 miles ( I usually have 3 pairs on the go road, trail and faster) these were faster ones and there gone in the midsole now. The socks are pizza running socks they were a present for Christmas last year, l love em! 130
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 09/10/2026#oversixtiesrunners #Runchat Another 10km completed today. Weather prediction was cool and rain turned out to be dry and sunny I was seriously over layered!! Nice Jeffing session nothing hard today.Race day Sunday #Sheffield #ten-ten-ten Not many good morning replies. My last run in Saucony shoes. 4351
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 08/10/2026They look bright and shiny, the autumn weather will soon sort those out😂😂. My new ones are due for their first run out next week 110
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026#runchat #oversixtiesrunners A cooler morning, damp with some rain on the way home. Ran out to Dam Flask and back, ran some speed sections and some walk recovery. Felt good this morning, lots of squirrels collect winter stores. The Dam looked grey and gloomy. Can’t remember last time I ran in rain! 0300
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#oversixtiesrunners #runchat Second 10km of the month, half was up hill into a strong head wind it knocked the stuffing out of me. Felt exhausted at the end. Few people about on this route. Plenty of sheep and a couple of hens sat on a wall, 1251
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026#runchat #oversixtiesrunners Nice October morning completed my 1st 10km of the month. Several “good morning” given and received, plenty of ducks a courting! Lots of Squirrels in Beeley Woods assume collecting food for winter. 2242
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 28/09/2026#run #running #ocersixtiesrunners Lovely morning nice tempo run with some sprints thrown in for extra effort. Definitely feeling tired managed over 75 miles again this month. so planning a few days off and will run again on Friday for the Sart of #October. 0251
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 26/09/2026#Parkrun #Hillsborough #Sheffield #oversixtiesrunners #runchat Not at my best on this morning’s #run. Feeling snotty and breathing all over, #running at a comfortable pace my heart rate was unusually high, slowing down didn’t help so kept going finished first in my age group. Tired at the end. 3351
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#run #runchat #oversixtiesrunners Just planning a #Parkrun for tomorrow and realise I’ve not posted this weeks runs. Monday a steady drill session in lovely autumn sunshine and Wednesday a hilly trail run that was exhausting. Tomorrow yet to come 2281
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026#oversixtiesrunners #runchat My longest #run for over a year Ran a half marathon distance managed to keep #running at a very even pace kept my route as flat as possible, in #Sheffield that’s difficult. A good run although I’m aching now. Several “good morning” given and received. 5391
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 14/09/2026#oversixtiesrunners #runchat This morning #run was without any target of time or distance or direction. Just a run with a tired body and a mind in turmoil. It took a couple of km’s #running before everything settled down and I got in a rhythm. Concentrated on my music a #motown playlist of rarities. 3281
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 11/09/2026#run #running #runchat #oversixtiesrunners An interval session this morning. Uphill 10x200 metres. Hard work on a warm morning. Enjoyable session very few people about on my usual route. 0261
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 09/09/2026#oversixtiesrunners #running #runchat #run longest run both distance & time for 15 months, legs like jelly at the end. Recovered well, felt strong for most of this one. Many good mornings given and received. Bradfield cricket ground looking lovely in the morning sun. September my favourite month. 0241
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 07/09/2026#run #running #runchat #oversixtiesrunners A sprint session this morning, weather perfect warm dry and no wind. Managed to push hard through to the end, several bemused dog walkers wondering what this old fool was doing 😂😂 all said good morning in passing. Enjoyed that session feeling strong 1301
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 05/09/2026#Parkrun #oversixtiesrunners #Runchat #Hillsborough park run this morning, felt good and ran fast. Finished in 24:12 my fastest time for 2 years second in my age group. Knackered at the end. Garmin suggests I was red lining for majority of the run, felt ok and recovered well 3391
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Will the other minor parties be given the extensive coverage the fascist racists are being given by the bbc when their party conferences are held? Me thinks not! Ffs they have 8 mps and most of those have defected from another party. Why do such cheats and charlatans get tv coverage 290
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 02/09/2026New #running shoes incoming!! Just arrived cracking deal almost half price from #STARTFITNESS gone for as bright a colour combination as I could find. If these are as comfortable as my #Adidas Terrex trail shoes it will be happy days 3181
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 02/09/2026#run #runing #runchat A long base run tried to keep as much on the flat as is possible in Sheffield! Running in the rain was a novelty I’d forgotten about😂. Kept it slow and a short walk but pushed over 10 miles so pretty pleased with my effort today. Even better entry to #PercyPud 10km confirmed 👍 1221
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 28/08/2026given this for a birthday present. It’s tough going in places, maths is way over my head, overall I’m loving it. Shows how scientific football analysis has become and why teams such as Brighton and Brentford punch so far above their weight. I would hope #SWFC are using this scientific approach 191
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 28/08/2026#runchat #run #running #tired 10km tempo run that’s 3 this week each one slower than the previous. Feel tired again. Got out before the rains due. #Damflask still low.Lots of runners out this morning, lots of acknowledgements to my cheery “good morning” 2 kamikaze squirrels narrow escaped death 1261
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 26/08/2026#runchat #running #run Ran a repeat of Monday but reversed the route. Legs heavy, weather very warm & humid. Several good mornings given and received. Too many yappy snappy dogs for a non dog person like me. River level at Oughtibridge weir very low, the expected heavy rain should help 0191
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 24/08/2026A later run today, ran a 10km tried to keep around 5:35 km pace. A good #run more people about running later provide no increase in acknowledgments. Saw a heron at #Oughtlbrdge weir. #runchat #running 3371
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 22/08/2026#running #runchat #run Another new #parkrun this morning. #waverley lakes in Sheffield a good run on trails and out and back course at present well organised and not too big a number enjoyed it although kept a steady pace managed fastest runner over 60! 2341
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 19/08/2026A long #run this morning, 16km+ total, the first 5km all uphill! Worth the climb for lovely views above #Bradfield and out over #Sheffield. A pleasant one today very few people about. Cooler weather but dry and windy. #runchat #running 1321
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 17/08/2026#runchat #run #running Started the week with a threshold run. Ten minutes warm up then 3 x 6:00 @ 5:05 km pace with 2:00 at 7:15 km pace after each followed by 10 minutes cool down. Felt ok and managed even interval splits. Weather cooler but very humid, dripping with sweat at the end😰 1271
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 15/08/2026#parkrun at my local #Hillsborough #Sheffield today, had a few days off as been on holiday and heat was intense, a cooler day and a good #run set off quickly and kept it going my 2nd fastest park run of the year and first in my age group. Happy days! #runchat 3341
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 11/08/2026#Norfolk #holiday #Wellsnextthesea a great family day at Wells beautiful day and lovely beach huts 1150
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 10/08/2026#run #running #runchat An early morning holiday run with both sons, a gentle 6.5km out along the coastal path to Sheringham and back along the road. Extremely tight back this morning and the run has not loosened it at all. Nice to be out with both sons and a good holiday is promised 1351
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 08/08/2026#parkrun a new one today as on holiday for week. Completed #SheringhamPark a lovely course one lap out and back 1.5 km downhill start same hill to start and same uphill to the finish. Very hot weather for #running nice friendly #runchat 0321
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 05/08/2026A base #run of 10 miles this morning, #running was hard work today, legs heavy and no rhythm to my run. Plenty of #runchat “good morning” given and received. Saw two crows devouring a dead squirrel with relish! Pleased to get the run over feel tired now 1251
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 03/08/2026#runchat #running #sprints #run. Started the week with Sprint repeats. Had to adjust where I usually run them so wasn’t as flat a course but managed ok, exhausted at the end. Got through the session ok . 3 sets. 3 x 100metres, 2 mins rest after each with two mins walk recovery after each set 2341
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 01/08/2026#run #running #runchat #adidas #sheffield Feeling much better today, also new trail shoes so a nice run up through Wadsley Common and across to Holdworth. Saw a sheep dog being trained, looked like it was his first day! Weather warm but blustery wind was hard work going up hill. Nice to be out 1301
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 27/07/2026#run #running #runchat An early drill session (We’ve got the grandkids from mid morning for the day). Ran a good session today, managed a bit extra distance and faster running. Was very tired at the finish. Not many people about a few dog walkers and a couple of squirrels about summed it up . 1311
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Completed #Concord #Parkrun this morning. Always enjoyable at great 2 lap course good for #running. Nice people and always a good piece of post #run cake afterwards, thanks to whoever made it ! #runchat 1261
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 24/07/2026#runchat Put in an extra #run this morning, woke up after good sleep. Decided a short 5km base run would be good, nice morning pleasantly warm. Went early saw few people about a couple of dog walkers shared a good morning and a magpie watched me pass from a wall. 0251
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 22/07/2026#run #running #runchat Got a text last evening from my eldest son, did I want to run a 10km with him this morning? (He’s a teacher 6 weeks off) went from his home not too early. Nice run good #SWFC chat and a hard hilly route that was in fact 12km ! A good start to today. 3521
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 20/07/2026#runchat #run #running A later start today, the heat is not as intense nice cool wind blowing. Did the #Garmin suggestion of a Threshold Session 4 x 6:00 minutes @ 5:05 km pace with 2 minutes recovery @ 7:10 km pace after each. Managed well today felt strong, a few “good mornings” given and received 1281
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 17/07/2026#run #running #runchat Another early start, a slow base run this morning, plenty of hills again. Enjoyed today, few people about, said good morning to a horse, he looked friendly. Enjoying this quiet running of the early morning 2281
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 15/07/2026#run #running #runchat An early run, feeling tired, did a base run put in a couple of fast Km and 8&9 finished uphill. Cooler this morning. Few people about. Rubber Don looking very low weir near Oughtibridge almost dry across. Not a great run was pleased when it was over. 0351
John Evans @johnsnave.bsky.social · 13/07/2026#runchat #run #running An early brisk drill session to start the week, much cooler this morning. Several good mornings from the early dog walkers. Two squirrels almost tripped me up, and a cat sat on a gate watching me with total distain 1271
